** NBA Conference Finals **
EAST: (1) Detroit Pistons* vs. (2) Miami Heat
Winner: Miami Heat (4-2) Detroit went 3-1 against the Heat in the regular season. In those games, Miami made 66% of their free throws and 12 of 52 three attempts. Detroit shot 78% from the foul line and averaged 95.3 PPG. WEST: (2) Phoenix Suns vs. (4) Dallas Mavericks* Winner: Dallas Mavericks (4-2) These teams split their four regular season games. This looks to be a high scoring series, as both teams averaged over 100 PPG in the season series. The Suns averaged 10+ more assists than Dallas in those games. I like Dallas in five and the Pistons in seven. [i]* = home court advantage[i] |

Frankly I'm surprised by the Heat love. Is this a sexy underdog pick, or are people jumping onto the bandwagon that quickly? The Heat just don't match up well with the Pistons, period. They (and Shaq) have a pretty poor record the last few years vs the 'Stones.

Last year Shaq was playing on 1 leg and Wade got hurt in game 5 and Miami still almost won the series. |

They lost a lot when Eddie and Damon Jones left the team. |

There is no way Detroit wins a Game Six in Miami. No matter what else you believe, you can't really believe that. I'd buy Detroit in five over Detroit in six, and I think Miami is going to win it.
