I dont know if the Pistons suck eggs, but I am the worlds number one Heat fan and I hope that Miami can win.  But lets not get too cocky like it seems Detroit has gotten.  Lets just hope the Heat keep playing their game and dont get overconfident and keep doing what theyre doing.  But yes, I hate Rasheed Wallace with a passion too.

This series is going to be as evenly matched as the Spurs/Mavs series, and I honestly think it's anyones' game! Detroit has shown their weaknesses against (of all teams) the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Heat has got to be hungry to beat the team that knocked them out last year. I think this series has the ability to go to 7, and if it does, I think the Pistons will win it. If the Heat can steal one on Detroit's home court in the first two games--I think Miami will win. We shall see though...! =)

IF they even get that far...! Neither series is said and done with and neither team is guaranteed a spot in the finals. IF they ever played, I think the Miami Heat would take the series, 4-2. More experience (total), and Dwayne Wade is SMOKIN' right now! Gotta go with the Heat!

oh yeah, best record in the league. Leading to homecourt throughout the playoffs. The east is no competition for the pistons other than the hot nets and the aging heat. The championship series is between Spurs and pistons and Flip Saunders added a better offensive force between the starters of detroit and they still have a devastating D. Not to mention a better bench than the last two years. Spurs get ready to lose in six games.

Well....I am a diehard Piston fan, but 3 games in a row against a team like Miami is next to impossible.  If the "good" Piston Team decides to show up, then they have a slim shot.  You can't play poorly as they have the last two series and expect to come out ahead.  If they play like that again, they don't deserve to win!

The only team possibly standing in the way would be the San Antonio Spurs.  I really think the Pistons are the best TEAM in basketball right now, and barring injury, no one, even the Spurs, can take them in a 7 game series.  I think Flip has done an even better job with them than Larry Brown.

In all honesty, I don't think that the Heat are the "nba dream team". They are Shaq and Dwayne Wade with an assembled cast of solid starters behind them. If there had to be a dream team, I would have said it was the Pistons (four out of five starters on the all-star team, come on!), but the Heat beat them, so, unless you believe the title of Dream Team can be inherited, which may very well be true, the Heat are just an extremely good team that beat a modern day dream team

im not a pistons fan, but i can tell u y they should be. first of all, they have lost 3 games in a row for the first time this season. also, rasheed wallace might be suspended for that technical foul, not likely, but maybe. the ccavs have a lot of momentum going into game 6, nd remember...they have the REAL mvp on their team, lebron james. he can make almost ANY clutch shot, or at least get his teammate to make it. if u ask me, the defending eastern conference champions are FINISHED!

Miami is my team. I know we'll surely defeat the Bulls, but I am worried about our current form. Yesterday's game appears to be the best so far. I thought we would breeze past the bulls. Guess age is a factor. I hope to see more improvements in other games. Hopefully we would lift the trophy. GO HEAT!!!!!! (By the way I live in Chicago).

Nothing the Nets are a better team. And they were the hottest team at the end of the season,so it was no suprise they beat the Heat in game one. by the way  Pistons win it all. Go Pistons!!!!!

I am going to say what I've said all season. Detroit has been on cruise control for SO LONG because of the lack of competition, that they've forgotten what they need to do when it comes to "gassing" out games against better teams. Personally, I think the Pistons are one of the most over hyped teams in the league, and for one reason only: Lack of competition. They have beaten who? The Bucks?! The Cavaliers (and even THAT isn't decided yet)?! The competition in the East is hardly there, and playing teams lesser than you doesn't make you better. You need teams that can play on your level to decide if you're truly the best--and Detroit has yet to do that. Can Detroit change this? Absolutely! But now with Cleveland revamped and recharged, this series is a WHOLE nother' ball game...!

Detroit will bounce back and attack seriously. Joe Dumars need to get up and start looking for some role players. Because Detroit only used 8 players. Come on. You got to have a deep bench or a bench that is solid like the Bulls had back in there championship days. Because them boys were tired. LeBron and the Cavs ran them boys. Miami is LUCKY that they had a tired Pistons team to play against. You can look at those games and see them boys were tired. Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Rip, and Rasheed they were tired. Why you think TayShaun Prince was scoring so much and plus Rasheed didn't Guaranteed a win in this series when they were down. COME ON. Rasheed made his guarantee against the Cavs and won, last year against the Heat and won, Pacers and won, 2 years ago against the Pacers and WON. You know they were tired. they are not sweating this lost. Miami is LUCKY TO DEATH. Because if they were to face a Healthy Detroit Pistons, ready to go boys. Oh we would be seeing Dallas and Detroit going at it. Detroit is coming back so Miami get ready to face the real Detroit PISTONS.

Miami 95, Detroit 78\nHeat Overcome Wade’s Illness to Eliminate Pistons\nBox Score \n|\nHeat Home \n|\nPistons Home\n\n\nMIAMI, June 2 (Ticker) -- When Dwyane Wade came down with the flu, the Miami Heat had to be feeling a bit queasy. In the end, however, the Detroit Pistons were left feeling sick to their stomachs.\n\nThe Heat are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history, overcoming Wade's untimely illness with a huge game from Shaquille O'Neal and hot shooting from Jason Williams in an affirming 95-78 victory over the Pistons.\n\nNBA TV highlights from\nPistons-Heat: Play\nPress Conference: Play\nThe second-seeded Heat won the series in six games and ended the two-year reign of the top-seeded Pistons as Eastern Conference champions. They play at Dallas or Phoenix on Tuesday.\n\n"To be at the point where we are now on our way to The Finals is truly amazing for this organization," Wade said. "As the saying goes with this team, they did what they do and we went out there and played team basketball at the right time of the year."\n\n"I only celebrate when it's really over," said O'Neal, who is headed to The Finals with his third team. "I'll celebrate a little bit, but like I told the guys, the job is not done."\n\nMiami avenged last year's disheartening loss, when it held the lead with less than two minutes to play in Game 7 at home but was denied by Detroit. Wade labored through that game with bruised ribs.\n\nA sickening case of deja vu swept over South Florida when Wade missed Friday's shootaround - and briefly was hospitalized - with a bad touch of the flu. He showed courage in starting and playing 37 minutes but was not himself.\n\n"At 3 a.m. is really when I woke up and I knew I wasn't going to go back to sleep," Wade said. "My wife was giving me tea and vapor rub and everything she could. I told her to call our trainer, probably 7 or 8 today, and that's when he told me I needed to get to the hospital. I stayed at the hospital until 3 p.m. They I went home and changed and came to the game."\n\n"I feel bad for him after what he had to go through in last year's playoffs," teammate Antoine Walker said. "He got hurt ... last year and to see him not at 100 percent was tough. We felt for him but we were very confident that we could pick up the slack and make it happen."\n\nWade didn't have to be 100 percent, not with O'Neal unleashing a "Shaq Attack" and Williams finally finding his shooting touch. The Heat took the lead for good in the first quarter and took off in the third period, when Wade finally got into the act.\n\nO'Neal scored 28 points on 12-of-14 shooting, grabbing 16 rebounds and blocking five shots.\n\n"Shaquille is Shaquille. We couldn't get him the ball enough," said Heat coach Pat Riley, also going to The Finals with his third different team. "We couldn't straight post him up, so we started doing a lot of things to move him a little bit on pick-and-rolls so he could get the ball."\n\n"I just told the guys that they can come to me. Whenever they need a bucket just come to me," O'Neal said. "For the first five or six minutes, I actually didn't touch the ball and I got a little worried, but everyone else was playing so well, I just became a role player - until they came to me."\n\nWilliams made his first 10 shots before missing his last two, finishing with 21 points.\n\n"I think you saw his game tonight," Riley said. "It was at the right time, there's no doubt."\n\n"I just wanted to come out and try to do what I always try to do - be aggressive and knock down open shots, and luckily they were falling for me tonight," said Williams, who was shooting 38 percent in the postseason.\n\nWade had 14 points and 10 assists. He began as a playmaker, missed the start of the
