Am I the only one that feels like the Heat are going to choke at home tonight? They did it last year so maybe it happens again.

I don't know about choking but I hope the Pistons win 'cause if the Mavs make it to the Finals I think they match up better with them than with the Heat.
Mavs have no answer for Shaq...you can't "Hack-A-Shaq" for 48 minutes. Especially now that Mbenga's 6 fouls wouldn't be available for the first few games.
I disagree. Dallas matches up better with Miami. The main thing is Miami has no one to guard Dirk, Howard, and Terry. Dallas should be scoring at will and Dallas can throw Diop and Dampier at Shaq. Wade is a beast though but Dallas can throw Adrian Griffin at him and funnel him toward Diop.
Just a hunch....Heat will close it out tonight.
Javie and Eddie F Rush along with Callahan. Rush is a Piston-killer, and Javie's on a perpetual power trip. Pick up your technicals early!
Williams is blowing by Billups already. And Prince a wide-open airball, Peja-style.
But Chauncey's running the offense as well as he has in months tonight.
Ben makes a pair at the line? In- ing-credible.
The heat slugs keeping them in it
Not a good start for the Pistons.
Heat are on, uh... fire.
heat missed 2 shots
they must cool off
The offense looks great. The defense looks absolutely terrible. Unless Flop can adjust the way Billups is handling the pick-and-roll defense, we're going to have huge problems.
Prince is shrivelling, and I really wish Dale Davis would get into the game for Ben.
25-20 Miami after 1. That's not bad.
I really shouldn't have to take dramamine to watch a basketball game. One camera angle would be more than adequate.
not bad beign down 5 with heat not missing
33% is not going to cut itilead could be only one had huner bade that layup and ben make that shot though
Ben worth in the game so far is ZERO because he isn't getting any offen. rebounds or affecting any shots on defense.
Hubie = Pistons' nut sack holder
wade is playign liek crap he should be taken out asp
You didn't listen to him in the Cleveland series, did you? If this is "nutsack holding", I'd probably be banned for describing what he was doing to LeBron James.
Good god Dice. A turnover and a fumble...
Dice+Sheed is doing a better job defending Shaq than Ben is, though.
Maybe the Pistons want a vacation?
He encourages Ben when he went to the line. When he made both, Hubie was jumping with jubilation. "There you go"
Then when Jwill kept driving and making layups in the first, he sounded upset. "You can't let that happen"
Then a graphic was shown that in this series, the team that had a first quarter lead is 5-0. "You can throw those percentages out the window" That is true but his expression is clearly for the pistons
Oh, I realize that Hubie's a Pistons fan. But it mostly balances out with Mike Breen's sanctimonious disapproval.
Evans+Ben = 3 on 5 offense for Detroit - were it not for Shaq's ridiculously slow pick-and-roll defense. Wade completely ignoring Mo Evans in the corner and shadowing the ballhandler 20 feet away from him is a sight to behold.
The pistons worst nightmare = Jason Williams is on FIRE
That probably happens once every 25 games
It's not like he's hitting contested shots, though.
Billups has never been able to guard him.
Speaking of Billups - why is he in the game instead of Hunter?!
59% to 30% in FGs. Ouch.
Shaq is back and incredibly Gary Payton is playing a little D.
47-36 Heat at halftime.
Ben Wallace has been a complete non-factor, but has still managed to play most of the game.
Rasheed Wallace has been fronted, which completely confuses the guards, and has missed a couple of easy shots.
Tayshaun Prince has been a complete non-factor, but has still managed to play most of the game due to Mo Evans being ludicrously ineffective.
Rip Hamilton is dribbling.
Chauncey Billups has been outplayed by Lindsey Hunter once again.
Dice hasn't touched the ball.
I hope they enjoy fishing.
