shaq has improved tremendously this year, what can we expect for game 6 and what do you think of game 5?

Shaq should improve on his free throws............When is he gonna learn?\n\nIf he does, Heats will be successful.

I saw the press conferences yesterday.  Shaq, Wade and Riley were all calm, cool and collected, while Avery Johnson, Mark Cuban and Dirk were just babbling on about how they were robbed.\n\nNo style, no class, and no ring.\n\nMiami in 6.

The nba is rigged and D-Wade is a poster boy.  D. Stern won't allow a sweep, bad for ratings after such great playoffs so far.  The same reason Lebron and Kobe took Detroit and Phoenix to 7 games.  Without last nights series saving performance by Wade this series would have been a sweep, now it will be 6 or 7 games.  I predict a Shaq dominated game 4 to even the series.

the heat are going to win i game 6 at home like they did with detroit!!\nShaq and Wade are both supertars that cant be taken one on one!!\nShaq is bigger than any one else and Wade is faster and more Athletic plus they have great players such as J williams, Gary Payton, and Antoine Walker who can cath fire easily!!\nthat is why heat in 6 games

I agree hands down. Its been intense, especially last nights LA win at the staples center. Another good one has been the Bulls- Heat. There has been some tempers, plus the Bulls are giving the Heat some problems and making the games close. This years playoffs could be one for the ages!

I sure hope so...! They SHOULD'VE won the last game (a couple of "bail-out's" went Raja Bells' way), and I would love nothing more for this series to go to 7 games! Wouldn't THAT be great basketball?! =)

I'm going to look at this from a depth/matchup stand point. EVEN if Shaq is a force of nature, that still won't matter because Tim Duncan was a force of nature and Mavs still beat them. Mavs can play many styles of basketball...but I think Avery is going to make Dallas play the style they used against the Spurs...run and quick shots. Devin Harris will be a key in running the ball down the court which will one take Shaq out of the game and get him tired, and two create match up problems due to transition defense. Dirk Nowitzki is going to be double teamed almost every time, Josh Howard is better then Walker or James Posey, Terry is better then Williams. If the Heat want to win, then Dwayne Wade is going to have to not only shoot well, but somehow get others involved. Where Detroit didn't have a bench, the Mavericks have Stackhouse, Van Horn, Daniels, Harris, and sometimes Darrel Armstrong. Miami has a veteran bench, but might cost them if Dallas goes to a run and gun offense. So heres how I look at it..\n\nPG:\nHarris/Terry > Williams\n\nSG:\nTerry/Griffin < Dwayne Wade\n\nSF:\nJosh Howard > James Posey or anyone else\n\nPF:\nDirk > Walker\n\nC:\nDiop/Dampier < Shaq (Or maybe they might do a decent job after all)\n\nBench:\nMavs > Heat\n\nTherefore, I conclude that the Mavs would win in 6

Hell ya they are Awesome, Game 7 spurs will win. Michael Finley showed his ass tonight, Parker really need to step his game up, we need him more. Manu is cool, never no what hes going to do, Duncan need to become more of a outside shooter and the spurs will be more better, I just liked them. I hope the suns beat the clippers, then phenoix will have to deal with the spurs lol.

Yeah, the Pistons got caught tired in Game 1. No way they'll lose this series now that they're rested. The Pistons have Shaq's number. \n\nI think they can win it all, they're so good.

Neither of those will win. Miami heat will win. Did you see Shq in the begging of the first game. he had five blocks and many points.

Heat.  Game 1 was an embarrasment for Miami and it was the first quarter alone that did it in.  Every team has an uncharacteristically poor performance once in a while.  This is why the NBA plays the best of 7.  Expect the Heat to return to their normal level and come back to take the series in 6.

Hitting has been a surprising plus for the Sox.  Euk and Loretta have been excellent and Lowell has been a very pleasent surprise.  Trot has hit well all year and Jason is starting to come around.  It looks like Crisp is starting to hit again (it is almost like he was in spring training for the past few weeks after his injury).  And I will take .250 out of my #9 hitter everyday (especially when he continueally flashes the leather).  Manny and Papi have not been consistant, but they have been getting the job done....they will be fine when it is all said and done.\n\nD-fence has been awesome.  I have never seen defence like this in Boston.  It is a pure joy to watch.\n\nThe bullpen is coming along.  It was good to see Timlin pitch well last night after the injury.  Papelbon is a stud and the young guys are starting to get it done in middle relief.\n\nI think the biggest question mark is the rotation.  I think the top three are ok with Schilling, Wake and Beckett (although I would like to see Beckett step up and be a stud #2) and I think one of the young guys will fill in admirably at #5 which leaves us with Clement??????\n\nIf we could trade for a solid/experienced # 3/4 who could give us innings we would be all set.

Miami Heat will take it all home in Game 6. Miami wasn't playin' at their best last night and they still won, and Dallas playin' at their hardest still lost... The only reason Dallas is in the playoffs is b/c they fouled their selves there.\n\nGo Miami Heat!! The 06 NBA Champs!! Go Miami Heat!!\nGo Miami Heat!! The 06 NBA Champs!! Go Miami Heat!!\nGo Miami Heat!! The 06 NBA Champs!! Go Miami Heat!!\nGo Miami Heat!! The 06 NBA Champs!! Go Miami Heat!!\nGo Miami Heat!! The 06 NBA Champs!! Go Miami Heat!!

That game was GREAT! The Cavs weren't doin so hott in the first half, but they came back after halftime! LeBron is great! He,again, broke another record.\n\nI like the Wizards,though,too,and they played a pretty good game.You gotta hand it to them.\n\nBut the Cavs are better and they're gonna win that series! Right now, they're 2-1.Only one more game til they head back home.

that was a good game last night.\n\ni love wade also.  that boy is so damn cute and he is a hard worker on the court!!!  shaq is big and pushes everyone around.  i love my man alonzo mourning....been loving that bad boy for a long time.\n\nthe mavs are impressive.  they play well together and their players are so unselfish.  it makes it great to watch b/c they make the heat WORK!!  \n\ni am rooting for dallas.  i like their team dynmatics alot better than the selfishness of the heat.  i give the heat alot of respect but WADE cannot carry the whole team on his back.  shaq needs to learn to hit those free throws.  this is a great playoff season!!!!!!!!

Well I am a Mavericks fan so lets look realisticly at what might happen....The Heat have Shaq killer center whos gettign a little age on him not a fast guy but he can block some shots and rebound...Can the old man keep up with one of the NBA's fastest teams? Will Dampier and  Diop be able to keep the man under semi control? well I say that the old man will be ok...but still defensively gonna wear himself out....Now that Wade fella he's  really talented but Dallas has already discovered that Howard can completely shut down Nash...so I'm sure he can do reasonably well against Wade...If not Dallas has so much depth at gaurd that they can easily wear him down...Dirk ....I said Dirk...Who on Miami is going to even slow this man down? Josh Howard? who do you put on Josh Howard? can your team run and gun with the Mavericks? Do they have the depth to stay rested? can the big old man sink a free throw at the end of a close game...or at anytime during the game for that matter...Sorry Miami fans its been fun but its over.
