Bite your tongue Kent, The Shaqfather and his young apprentice will win in 7. It should be a great series. It will be interesting to see how the heat stop the Diggler (i hope he grows a Larry Bird whispy moustache for the series).

Nutwork, you know that the daddy has a big load to carry.
Would like to see Payton get a ring, just feel that it is Dallas' time.
Interesting that only 2 players from both teams have ever been to the final dance before with Shaq the only one with jewelery.
Who stops Shaq? No one in the league can stop him. Who can stop Dirk? Only Dirk.
Wade v JET will be where it is won and lost.

Man, its gonna be close!
I would love to see Dallas win, I just think the Heat are finally hitting their straps and Shaq is back dominating again.
So I say Heat in 6 also, Shaq MVP.
I must admit that last Heat series against the Pistons, Shaq is looking good, but is starting to look old. I think it is a fast downhill slide for him, maybe one year left in form.
If I was Wade I wouldn't sign an extension there, everyone will retire in two years!
walker and haslem will make it hard for dirk heat in 5!!!

Heat in 6, Dallas in 6, Nowitzki to get 51 points in game 5.

Sixers 33, what the hell does "Heat in 6, Dallas in 6" mean? Doeas that mean that if the series goes to 6, both teams will have played in 6 games?
If Dirk drops 51 in game 5, I'll change my alias to " Sixers33 is my Master and Lord."

If it happens doc, I think you have to do away with the Ninjas Idea and become the "Sensational Supervising Sisters Of The Stunningly Smart Sixers33" and you have to let him join the Posse and become your leader.
or something like that....

At this point, I'm not too worried. In an unrelated topic, in my footy tips I've tipped Port by 6 goals, and Hawthorn by 4 goals.

I think heat based on a bit more age and experience (as well as diesel flash combo). Agree with Kent, would like to see Payton bow out a winner. Dirks time will come. Still gonna support the mavs though.

I'm going Mavs on this one in 7 in a slight boil over. Shaq will have a good series, but I can see Dampier and Diop slowing him down a little. He'll still get his 20 odd points, but the Mavs have 12 fouls to give up without really impacting on their offensive game.
Darkhorse Mavs which could tip the balance are Harris and Van Horn. For some reason I think that Josh Howard will d-up on Wade and do a fairly good job on him defensively. Won't shut him down, but at least slow him down a bit. I can also see Wade having to use a fair bit of energy defensively keeping up with Terry and Howard.
Whilst they play different positions, Wade and Dirk cancel each other out (offensive wise), but if Terry steps up I'll take him over White Chocolate at the point.
If Miami come and play defensive and Shaq keeps out of foul trouble then they'll win in 6.
If the Mavs win I wonder how much cash Cuban will splash on a party and championship 'gifts'.
Dirk is untouchable for Finals MVP.
