How do you think it's going to shake out?

I want to say Mavs in 5, but because of the 2-3-2 format, I'm going with Mavs in 6.

I think Josh Howard will do a decent job on Wade, and if Wade has to check him right back, that might be a problem for DWYane.

While the Mavs don't have anybody that can "stop" Shaq, they do have Diop & Dampier, and their 12 fouls (Mbenga would have made it 18).

Who on the Heat is going to guard Dirk? Haslem? Fatoine?

I think the Mavs would be wise to run and gun, that'll either wear Shaq out, or get him pulled off the floor. I think the Mavs have the athletes to run circles around these frauds.

Mavs in 5, maybe 6. Miami has 2 of the 3 best players, but their advantages pretty much end there.

gah, i don't want to vote, because i feel like the Heat have a chance to win it all. Snaq found spinach-laced donuts and is looking pretty dominant again. fouls or not, he's going to tear up Diop and Dampier.

i think i'm going to throw up now.

Dallas in 6. You know David Stern is going to try and squeeze every penny he can out of seeing snaq and wade out there.

No one is beating dallas. They have the best coach in the NBA, great depth, match up problems all over, (please tell me who is going to guard Dirk? Thats right, you cant!)

They look like we did 2 years ago.

I really wanted to just put FUCK IT...I DONT CARE. I dont think that I am going to watch it that much. My heart is still fucking crushed.

i'll catch as many games as i can. i won't be rearranging my schedule, like i did w/ pistons games. from a pure basketball POV, it should be an entertaining series.

i think my optimism for next season has helped heal some wounds of this year's playoff debacle. Amir Johnson for MIPOY!!

Yeah...same here...I guess if it is on I will have it on in the background or something. But, I am just too damn bitter to watch right now. I need more time lol

Who will be the first (only?) to pick Miami?

Somebody who likes getting punched in the larynx and watching their team lose.

I picked the Heat in 6. Wade and Shaq are a little too much for Dallas to contain. I give the bench edge to Miami because of their established veterans. I also want to see Alonzo and Payton win a win. I'll also be rooting for Stack to possibly win as well.

Heat in 6. Shaq is gonna absolutely eat the Dallas frontcourt. Miami causes too many mismatches.

Say what?

I got MAvs in 5.

well, now to think about it, I say 6 because Josh howard is injured, im not sure when hell be back.

I think Devin Harris will be the X factor for the mavs

I think he forgot about a certain 7 foot German with the range of an artillery battery.

Yeah other than that, Who else causes a mis match??


The Mavs frontcourt is going to have a nightmare.

Diop or Dampier..< Shaq
dirk >>>>>>>>>>> haslem
If Josh Howard > Walker or posey, whoever they choose to start.

Shaqs the only mis match IMO.

Exactly. The whole Mavericks backcourt of bottled lightning is a mis-match.
