Stephen A Smith does it again,

[dmac]

Everyone knows it was Shaq's thigh bruise that prevented Miami from winning a championship. Shaq healthy equals pistons loss. Next come the spurs and Mohammad would get embarrased by Shaq. They will have to put in Nesterovic to avoid the humiliation.

what was his excuse for 2003 and 2004? Bruised ego?

Florida also lacks a state income tax, don't they?

"lacks"? Are you saying they need a state income tax?

Florida does not have a state income tax, so the tax argument is stupid but expected from SAS.

[ginobme]

yeah he later went on to say that florida also has no income tax so i dont know where he was going with that argument

[benjirh]

The Heat are just like the 2004 Lakers, but Wade is not Kobe and Walker is half the player Malone was. The only one a little better is Williams than Payton but Derek Fisher was a lot better than any sub they will get.
Why the 2006 Heat will succeed where a more powerful Laker team failed?
To sum up: Heat 2006<Lakers 2004<Pistons 2004-05<Spurs 2005-06

Your kidding right. Wade is a much better fit for Shaq than Kobe was in 04. Walker is not half the player Malone was in 04 and he spreads the floor out more. Jones is another deep threat and is a better fit than what Fisher was in 04. There is no doubt that Miami is going to be tough. They are top 3 in the east, possibly 1. And they are top 5 in the league. Talent wise, Miami had a better offseason. Chemistry wise and need wise, SA had the better offseason. I am planning on SA winning it all, but it would not surprise me to have to go through Miami to get it.

Why did the spurs get owned by the lakers last year than. This is no regular offensive team that relies on perimeter shooting. This is a Shaq team. There is no answer for a Shaq team.

shaq had little to do with it moron, it was always Kobe that killed the spurs. Then the spurs figured it out and kicked the crap out of the lakers. Then LA came back with Karl Malone who made a *.04 difference.

Shaq is easy to deal with, which you'll find out. At least SAS helps you justify your paper championship.

[Extra Stout]

Stephen A. Smith is hilarious. You can just imagine when he heard that Finley signed with the Spurs that he started throwing things in anger.

I think it is interesting that HeatChamps mentioned Shaq's thigh bruise as an excuse. Apparently he lives in a world where 30-something people who weigh over 300 pounds become more durable as they age rather than more injury-prone.

Well, I suppose when Shaq's health breaks down again the Heat will take over the Kings' mantle as "hypothetical champions."

Serves the bas right.

SAS is one of the many poor unfortunate souls out there in the media that are still convinced Shaq is better than Duncan. Someone needs to clue him in the that the media kissing Shaq's ass all the time does not win les or make him better than Duncan.

[ginobme]

speaking of thigh bruises, didn't Duncan play the entire playoffs with busted ankes wrapped up so tight that blood wasn't circulating to his feet??? And he still led his team to a le, and the Series MVP!!!

Duncan looked fine to me. I just don't think people want to admit around that Miami has the best lineup in basketball. They are too good. In the playoffs the starting lineup means more than the bench.

[samikeyp]

Duncan looked fine to me.

then you weren't watching, mouse.

[Dre_7]

Really?? Then what happened in the Finals last year? Didnt DET have the best starting 5 in the league?

[Spursdaone]

I think that is more Duncan being Timid rather than injured. The guy is scared to make the big play at the end of a game.

[Manu20]

Yeah like game 6 of the Seattle series

Dude you need to watch some Spurs games one of these times. You know how many times Tim has taken the shot at the enbd of a game? Many! He is not afraid.

So have we found out yet? Is this Spursdaone mouse, LakerGod, wolves009, or who?

[Matrix]

Thats to be expected...and yes, Florida is one of 9 states with no state income tax. You would think SAS would know that being that he's lives up Shaq's ass.

isn't that why OJ moved there, so he wouldn't have to pay for the civil lawsuit?

[HeatChamps]

Timmy is most pathetic "great" player in the league. Next time he shows up big for an entire series let me know.
