I'm curious to see who the Heat put on Dirk. I'm thinking it will be either James Posey or Udonis Haslem. Posey, while giving up three inches on Dirk, seems to have a great wingspan. Haslem did really well on Rasheed Wallace in the previous series, but I don't see him being able to keep up with Dirk when he puts it on the floor.
And anyone who was knocking Miami's perimeter defense needs to check the statistics. Richard Hamilton experienced playoff lows in the FG% deparment, at 37.8%. Chauncey Billups shot a measley 39.1% from the field. Devin Harris is quick, but his path to rim won't be nearly as easy when he has either Shaquille O'Neal or Alonzo Mourning ready to block his shot. Terry, on the other hand, only shot 41.6% from the field, 25% from three last series. I have little doubt that Wade, Williams, and Payton have the advantage against Dallas' backcourt.
Detroit's offense blowed in the playoffs lol. Miami's perimeter defense is still suspect... especially to a team like Dallas who basically have 2 shooting guards for their backcourt
and Dallas already faced possibly the best defensive big man in this era- Tim Duncan
that being said- Miami will give Dallas a lot of problems too
i don't have a rooting interest for either team. i just hope this finals will be the cherry on top of a very exciting playoffs.
I say Dallas in 6, so does my wallet.
i don't want to see GP & Walker getting a ring
