Well, there are a couple of hot dudes in the NBA right now but if I had to name only one, it would have to be Mr. Michael Redd. If I'm not mistaken, he's leading the league in scoring right now and he has a 57 point game on the season. \n\nThe dude that has the shivers in my mind is T-Mac! Plain is simple, McGrady is too freakin' talented to be putting up 18 ppg. Seriously, Houston doesn't have such an offensive punch that Mac AND Yao can't both average high 20's!

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.

I believe your prediction that A.I. ("The Problem"...hehe...I like that) will cause problems for Mo is already starting to come true, AwesomeBill...He was flapping his gums a little after the Clippers took one from them a night or two ago...The most over-rated player in NBA history will eventually make life hell for Coach Cheeks, and he will feel relieved when he leaves the team this season...I think knowledgeable Sixer fans would like to see Iverson traded instead, but who the hell wants him to show up as cancer in their locker room?

Consistently speaking, Parker has had the numbers all year! He's proven he's worthy, and without him, the team might've crumbled when the injuries to Manu and Tim plagued them. We can't forget Manu Ginobilli and Tim Duncan, though! Both are amazing in their own respects. Tim is the leader; and is a force to be reckoned with just by BEING on the court; and Manu is like watching a noodle on Prozac string through traffic when he's hot and on a roll (haha, interesting description; but he's SOO crafty)! The team has three of the best players in the NBA, and I think that's what separates them from teams like Phoenix, Miami, and Dallas.

I'm going with the Pistons, ignoring their current 7-point lead. I have them beating the Heat in 6 games and I just don't see it possible if they lose tonight.

Lebron. He combines the speed of Tony Parker the crossovers of AI the Dunks of Vince Carter and the smile of Magic Johnson.\n\n\n=[)

Gotta go with Detroit. They play with a team first attitude. That always seems to work in the NBA.

The way the Lakers beat Detroit, I would say,"HELL YEAH". I'm putting my money on the HEAT to beat the PISTONS in 6 if ever Detroit make it to the Eastern Finals. Here's the thing, your NBA Finals this year will be between, the HEAT and the SUNS. Is it hot in here or what?

Miami Heats. \n\nBritt Tivia eh?

TOTALLY agree...! Rasheed really bit the big one this year, and he paid for it!!!! The "Rasheed" in this series...? MARK CUBAN. *PUCK! PUCK!!!!* I'm a Spurs fan, and I'd love nothing more than to have Shaq whoop the CRAP outta' Dirk and the Mavs and wipe that BILLION DOLLAR SMILE off the face of Cuban...!Dwayne and Shaq have been CRAZY-MAD players in these playoffs, and the bench players have really stepped up when they needed to. I think it's the Heat's to lose--and I'd love to see Mourning, Peyton, and Walker get rings after such long careers. GO HEAT!!!!!

My money is on Duke, JJ Redick is ready to lead this team to a championship. He's got the back-up as well in Williams. Also you got the coach K factor on their side. Although UCONN is looking good.

THE DALLAS MAVERICKS....\n\nTHEY STILL HAVE NOT SHOWERED SINCE LAST WEEK....

Miami Heat. Who else, they are up 3-2 in the series.

Chauncey Billups is the leader of the Pistons.  Without him they'd be right back with the rest of the pack in the east.  I think you can make a case for Nash, but Billups gets my vote.

I think it's JJ Redick of Duke.  He's going to win Player of the Year over Morrison of Gonzaga by a couple votes.

I've got to go with Shawn Marion because as a Suns fan I've seen him perform both through the good times an BAD times. I've got to say I really hope Tim Thomas can be signed by PHX as his addition was Huge and would be even bigger for the coming season. I was in disbelief when the Suns were able to get him via the Bulls. He stands as one of my favorites also. Keep an eye on Boris Diaw and we all know about Amare. I know, I'm too partial.

Earl Boykins is the shortest active player int he league. He's 5"5, he plays for the Denver Nuggets. The team is ok, they lost Nene early in the season due to an injury, they need a shooting guard that can hit three's and creat his own shot, it would also take pressure off Carmelo Anthony. They will most likely lose in the 1st round of the playoffs. It's impossible for them to get out of the 2nd round because they would play the Suns.
