What time to you want your wakeup call 'cause you're dreamin'. Stop living in the past thinking Shaq and Mourning are in the primes, or even near their primes. Like Japan embarassed the uSA in 1941, we're going to embarass the Heat on Dec. 7...and again on Jan. 20...and you'll get to watch it on nat'l TV. See you back here after that.

I am not even sure Miami is a better deal with those new players. The chemistry will be very interesting. Williams is headcase. Miami would impress me by getting out of the Eastern Conference to be honest with you. Indiana and Detroit are right there with them if not better.

only when people bring it up. :makemyday

Jason Williams will cost his team the championship, see it has a ring to it.

I remember one Sacto/LA late in a playoff game Sac down 2 and that jerk decides to take it at Shaq needless to say he was rejected ugly.

Whether Miami wins may depend entirely on Antoine Walker. Posey is comparable to Jones, and Jason Williams may be more mature and fit in well with his buddy Shaq, but the reason Miami lost last year was because Shaq didn't get enough touches down the stretch. That is why his teams always lose. In clutch games of the playoffs Antoine has a history of taking ill-advised shots. Maybe he can turn that around in one season, but I'm not convinced.

Until then, let's see if Miami can make it past Detroit before we crown them champions.

I predict:
FInal 4 in the East - Miami, Detroit, Cleveland, Indiana
FInal 4 in the West - San Antonio, Phoenix, Denver, Utah (Kirilenko will be rejuvenated)

Utah should be better, but the still won't make the playoffs. They have a rookie PG with no backup. They just traded their youth for Greg Osterfat, and Boozer and Okur are a mediocre frontline in the West. Kirelinko is good, but he isn't that good.

You might be right, but Utah seems like as good a bet as anyone for the fourth top spot in the West. Kirilenko, Okur, and Boozer should be good enough for 50 games, and if they get into the playoffs they could make it past the 1st round. But it depends so much on injuries, and I also think that if Minnesota gets some youth to replace Spree and Sam, they coiuld be back.

This is the third time Antoine Walker has been moved in three years. Meaning that he is doing something that teams do not like and therefore do not work very hard on retaining him.

How were they weak in those areas if they had Wade/Damon Jones switching off and Haslem in the post? Wade's an all-star, Jones had a very good year, and Haslem was a nice compliment to Shaq.
