    Detroit won't come out of the East, it will be Miami.

    Honestly, I've been thinking about it, and I think they can. I believe someone is going to get injured on Detroit's roster and they're going to suffer. Delfino won't be with them either apparently, so that takes away. Limited bench and what not, the Heat with a vastly improved Shaq can beat them. And Wade is just unstoppable.

    Thoughts?

    Why won't Delfino be available?

    Just curious.

    There's a thread in here somewhere talking about him playing with Argentina instead.

    Just curious.
    he wants to play for the argentinian team this summer and it coincides with the NBA playoffs. he may rather play for his country than the pistons apparently though the article that spoke about it seemed sketchy

    Predicting injuries now?

    They have no 3rd scorer, Payton is done, no bench and they're ancient. They have a shot, but it's real slim...

    If Mourning comes back healthy, they have a 50/50 shot.

    Its more likely though that Spurs fans along with I, will be rooting our collective asses off for the Heat.

    Sorry Pistons Fans, Im a selfish asshole, I like buying new Championship swag

    Miami hasn't shown me enough that they're capable of knocking off Detroit in a 7 game series.

    Even with a significant injury to one of our starters, if we lose to Miami it will be a disgrace. Last year, MAYBE Miami was better than our team. It's really close...But this season, No. Miami is not better than Detroit this season.

    Wade would have to completly DOMINATE the series for Miami to take it. I'm talking like 40PPG. They would need alot of contributions from their roleplayers, too. If we can let Shaq get his points, and shut down everyone else it should be fairly easy. Containing Wade is no easy task, though.

    ...With that said, they have a chance. Anything can happen.

    Think about it...

    Shaq and Wade are their main guys. Posey can shoot the three, and Williams has been doing good for them. Walker has played good recently, and he can shoot if he's hot. Payton can still run the offense and shoot, and Mourning is a defensive beast. They got all the necessary ingredients, they just need to mix them right.

    Plus, they have Pat Riley.

    And I agree it's a long shot, but I just have a feeling and I wanted to express it. No harm in that.

    The 2000-2002 Lakers had a third scorer?

    You're banking this prediction on an injury happening? Umm, no. And even if one of their players went down, still no.

    don't know about all that.. Detroit is a strong, solid and experienced team. it would be silly to underestimate them going into the playoffs. spurs fans should be worried about the loss tonight and home court losses adding up. how strong will they be at home come playoff time? detroit is a force, dont fool yourself into thinking otherwise.

    The 2000-2002 Lakers had 2000-2002 Shaq. Plus, Kobe is just a tad better than Wade(right now)...

    still, i like miami being a sleeper in the east.. along with indiana who looks good with a consistent Peja and JO.. actually I am rooting for Pacers in the east, though that would be an easy series against the spurs should they go that far. would be nice to see though!

    Some people actually thought that the game Ben Wallace didn't want to get in the game, it was because of "fatigue".

    Not because of the above reason....
    I think it was Mark Stein....

    It's not only about injuries.

    I'm not sure Miami is even the second best team in the East.

    Yeah, but I'd still give my right nut and Brent Barry for Walker.
