The East is SOOOOOOO weak compared to the West, its ridiculous. Watching Detroit play is like watching paint dry.

Miami is a little more exciting with Shaq and Wade, but they have nobody else so they have no chance agaisnt Dallas or Phoenix either.

West is gonna roll in the championship.

If Miami win game 7 they'll have played a lot less games than Phx/Dal running into the final but you've gotta say West are the favourites right now, as usual.

How long has it been since the East was the strongest conference??? Even during the Jordan/Pippen/Rodman years in the mid/late 90s most of the other top teams outside of the bulls were from the West (Houston, LA, Seattle, Utah).... wierd I guess.

Miami will give some matchup problems to Dallas, though, don't you think? They're better equipped to deal with Shaq than most teams with Diop and Dampier, but dunno who's going to guard Wade, I guess he's the key. That is, if Miami make it.... Terry maybe? I don't fancy Daniels much on that matchup.... I guess it'll be two guys on Wade and hope the big guys can handle Shaq, if that works than you can't see how else Miami are going to get there. Dallas will shoot the lights out against Miami's perimeter defence too.

Harris sounds good yeah. Have to see how many minutes Howard plays in the finals. I think basically it's going to be a case of double teaming him and making the Heat bench and guys like Posey and Haslem knock down some of the big shots, so those guys and especially Walker are going to have to come up big from the perimeter and 15 footers, cos they won't be getting too many great looks when there's no DT on Wade or Shaq....

nash's wife is hot. plus her first name is "ale." can't really beat that.
