I think the supporting cast of the Heat is doing their job in this series, and that's why they are on the lead. Game 5 might be just one of those unlucky days for those guys. But yeah, they should shake off that bad luck and step up in game 6 :fingerscrossed:

i do hope that Pistons go down for game #6, but i lack confidence in Miami to close it out...but i really hope they step up.
I am just not sure they can do what Mav's did tonight....
Miami's got wade/shaq, but they don't have Nowitzki to light it up like he did tonight. Besides Pistons seem to find ways to win when they are in this situations. Miami has to have this toughness and come out strong or else they will fall, and become the ninth team to choke up a series, after leading 3-1, i hope they don't become another statstic. :beaten:

no prob....
got the new sabra mag...Hitomi Aizawa and Mariko Okubo are on the cover...i should scan the cover, when i am not lazy....

anyways, Miami-Det game time 5pm...
an important game for both teams...question is can Miami step up and close out the series. :crazy: :headscratch:

Eric Mussleman hired as new coach of the Kings :applaud: Glad to see him get another chance, I thought he did a good job with the Warriors

early on in the first, Miami starting off good, up by 9pts, probably won't last, as expect Det to make a run... :beaten:

Pistons are in trouble...down at the half 36-47, Miami is stepping up... :crazy: :beatyou:

8 minutes to go, Pistons down by 17, if safe to say they're already planning their summer vacations

Another addition to your massive collection of gravure idols, huh? Anyway, I did some research on the names that you gave to me and saw some pics in the process, and I can only say 1 word....... :hot:

Well, they are in Miami, they can go to the beach the next day to begin their vacation :beaten:

It's all Miami....as they await their western conf champion opponent...

next up the NBA finals!

Dallas needs to step up again and show no mercy to Phx, or else risk a game #7....with Miami resting for next Thursday's game #1 :bonk:

Yeah, this should be an advantage for the Heat since they can rest for some time.

I thought Williams stepped up big when it counted, and Shaq had a monster game...Wade did his best, despite having the flu....overall a great game to wrap up the series. :applaud:

With Shaq and Wade playing great.....and add up a good performance by the supporting cast, their Western opponent will definitely have a hard time in the finals :sweat:

really, if Dallas moves on....i don't know how they are going to match up with the big center and backup of Alonzo... :sweat:

Well, they have Dampier and Diop, and these guys are tough.....but I don't know how long they are to last in a game without having foul troubles on guarding Shaq =T

better than Phx....they have no one that can guard shaq....not even K. Thomas returning will help.

Kurt Thomas have the body to guard Shaq......but again, foul trouble is your worse opponent when guarding Shaq (remember the word Hack-a-Shaq?).....so who will replace Thomas when he fouls out? :headscratch: :sweat:

not sure who is the back up center...or any other big man...that can use 6 fouls against Shaq....

Dallas stands a better chance against Miami, than Phx does. :beaten:
