Basketball Miami Has Nothing On Detroit

If Detroit meets Miami in the playoffs, who on Detroit can possibly stop Shaq? NO ONE that's who. They'll be stuck double teaming him and Wade if he's healthy. As long as the role players knock down some shots the Pistons wouldn't have a chance unless they shoot 60-65% for the series.

word.
 
Know what, we will do what won us the title back in 03/04.

Play man 2 man on shaq, and make him beat us.



So you know, we kicked the crap out of LA that year. Shaq, Kobe, Malone, Payton...

Actually, Shaq had a damn good series that year. Every body else sucked in that series. There were only two players that even shot over .400% during that series for the Lakers. Shaq and Rick Fox both shot over .500%. Can't win with a team shooting below .400.

Can Detroit's Defense get some credit!?
 
Its actually looking like Miami will get the 3rd seed, which means, cleveland will own home court in the 2nd round.

Also means, that when we play you guys in the ECF, it will be 5 on 5.

Not 4 on 5 with ben wallace.

Should be a good one!
 
you know whats funny, I still can't find odds or a price , or anything on that jersey # /25 I gave you.

I know it doesnt book 12 or 15 like the guide says. Its kind of crazy.

Odd thing is, I haven't seen anymore of them on Ebay or on any of the trading boards. The odds of landing one must be kind of ridiculous.

The problem with that philosophy is Webber, Sheed, and McDyess are not strong enough to hold their ground against Shaq like Ben can. I guess you could try Maxiell, but I think the youngster would get put in his place.
 
Ok I've tried to stay away from this topic for the most part so as not to say something I might regret But I can stay quiet no longer. IF the Heat get by the Cavs? are you kidding me? Barring serious injury to either Wade or Shaq that prevents them from playing I dont think the Cavs can stand up to the Heat in a series like that they may be able to win 1 or 2 games but thats about it. Who do the Pistons meet in the Playoffs? remember the ball is Round and can bounce anyway so the Pistons are not a Lock to make it to the ECF. They lost a huge Defensive presence when Big Ben left and you wanna talk about fouls how about Rasheed? how many Techs does he have this year? Trash talkers? Every team has them You just hear more about it on the Heat because they are one of the teams Constantly in the spotlight.
 
cavs nearly won their 2nd round series last year in game 7 and could have easily won that series, so they are not that far off. Wade is NOT A GUARANTEE AT ALL TO COME BACK FROM THAT INJURY, OR EVEN RECOVER WELL FROM IT, so dont think Oh we are getting wade back, he will be fine.
 
barring any serious injuries to wade or shaq?

Hello?! Wade is down, and when he does play, he wont be 100%.

Big Z is the only out east who can guard shaq, and miami has no one to guard lebron.

Detroit will have an easier time to the ECF then Miami.
 
I'm not counting on wade coming back 100% because I know it wont happen but even if he comes back 85% the Heat will be good enought to win and probably beat the Pistons
