Detroit..........I honestly think the Pistons can match up and beat the Heat...will go to 7 games but Pistons will come out smiling.

Big call Bizzy ... But if any team in the East can stop shaq it would be the team that did it in the finals last season the pistons..

Pistons can team up Big Ben and Rasheed to try to stop shaq and with Rip or even Chauncy taking D-Wade, leaves people like Prince and McDyess to take whats left of the Miami team which isn't all that much when you really look at it.

Its alot easyer said then done trying to shut down shaq when he is in MVP form

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Bizzy is on the money.

Big Ben can match up on Shaq in the Heats O due to his strength with a 'little help' from Sheed and Dice.

Rip and Billups can team up on Wade and run him till he drops.

Who matches on Sheed in the Pistons O, or even Dice for that matter. A lot of cheap buckets coming the Pistons way I think.

I like the Pistons over the Heat, especially with the Diesel only running on 6 of his 8 cylinders.

There is a huge difference between the Wizards and the Pistons.

You guys are all saying Big Ben will hold Shaq fairly well but what about Alonzo Mourning?

You know the guy who got 14 and 14 when shaq was injured. Ben maybe able to slow shaq but he won't be playing 48mins against both zo and shaq who both love the physical side.

Rasheed won't be able to help out, darko? nup.

Heat in 5 (maybe 6)

14 points isn't a game winning effort id on't think they will be too worried about zo

Considering Mourning is primarily a defensive player, 14 points helps the team immensly. Even if Ben and Rasheed double Shaq, shaq is intelligent enough to pass to the open man.

I would put Sheed in front of the current model Zo anyday of the week.

I don't think that it will be Sheed and Big Ben doubling Shaq. The more I think about it, my more I see Dice and Big Ben doubling Shaq.

Old Zo would rip Sheed a new one, and then bend him through the hole to resemble a pretzel.... Ah, the old Zo.... (still remember that series winning J when he was a Hornet vs the Celtics in the Garden to advance to the second round).

The still think the match up is in the Pistons favour.

Front court of Big Ben, Sheed, Dice, Prince and the forgotten man, Elden Campbell, VS Shaq, new Zo and Haslem. Opps forgot Laettner, that was nearly a mistake...

Rip straight up on Wade (Wade on current form is the winner), and Billups taking Jones at the PG. (Billups by a country mile). SF, Eddie Jones v Prince, sorry take Prince each time, and how can anyone forget the Human Victory Cigar, Milicic, there's 6 fouls to chuck at Shaq on top of Big Ben, Campbell, Dice and Sheed.

shaq is a big boy, im sure he can take some hits. Plus, you cant foul him all the time... he's pretty much going to hit 50% of his foul shots and the points do rack up.

Heat will win it, Pistons wont beable to hold shaq no matter who they put on him. Big ben might of won d-fensive player of the year. But he will not beable to contain shaq and morning. D-Wade is in great form and i can see him letting it slip when it comes to the chrunch time. Miami will get it done in 6

miami just beat washington , without there franchise and best player in the league. Now this team is deep.

plus detroit are outmatched in every area. plus after shutting down shaq and alonzo. udonis haslem is still an awesome player.

veteran eddie jones, and ofcourse d wade.

= championship

Sorry my last post i was ment 2 say that i cant see d-wade letting it slip.

undersized pf u are right miami = championship

Shaq's really not done much these playoffs, at the moment Wade is unquestionably the money man in that outfit. They've proven they can get the job done with Shaq not firing, will be interesting if that can continue against the Pistons.

I'm not convinced Shaq will be stepping up for some of those massive playoff numbers he has in the past, and I think the Heat may struggle over the next few rounds unless he does.

Anyone thats says the heat are Deep ... are clearly on crack .... shaq , Wade , jones , Haslem ... and thats where it ends the bench is Ordaniry at the best ... how ever the big 3 wade shaq jones is good enough to take on anyone ... Detroit is my pick to stop the heat ... But i still cant see it happening ..

spurs to come good

Spurs wont down to seatle today seris tie 2-2 there not playing the greatest Ball at the moment hard to see them stoping shaq .. on the form there showing right now but we all know what they are capable of doing...
