I think the way they are playing they will come out of the East easy, and Shaq is turning it on.
Can we see a Heat vs Spurs?
Miami matched its largest comeback of the season and finished a 6-0 homestand -- all without Dwyane Wade.

Heat vs Spurs
Thats Hollywood
Yes, they're quite a challenge. I think Duncan cant stop Shaq and vice-versa, so should be a tough one to decide. Hope Bowen could contain Wade though.
Did you just have a conversation with yourself?
And I think most of the others around here would ask you to hold off on any NBA Finals talk right now. Especially in the way of picking particular matchups.
Not worried at all about the Heat.... They are probably the best the East has to offer right now.... but its still the East.
As far as the east winning 2 of the last 3 les.... , I've seen several snakes with 2 heads lately.... doesnt mean Im going to go out and advocate that the species has evolved.
no concern about the heat
i prefer to play the pistons though with webber
heat = one hit wonders
Part of the reason we got Melvin Ely, IMO. Okay, most of the reason was to dump salary and a draft pick, but some was to give another bulky body just in case.

Shaq always finds a way, don't count him out yet.
I have my doubts about Shaq shouldering the load down the stretch and having anything in the tank for the post season. I do not see them defending their le.
Whoever gets to the Finals from the West would have a difficult time if they meet Miami. Despite their tough luck with Wade's injury...the Heat getting Eddie Jones was probably the best stroke of good fortune seen by an NBA team this season.
Shaq replacing his "let Flash do it" at ude with his own increased efforts is admirable. Shows just was a rich, lazy, fat, unserious, bored er he is when given the chance.
If Wade comes back for the playoffs at 100%, Shaq will probably revert to "let Flash do it", either by choice, or by injury/fatigue.
The East is very hard to predict now. Detroit is missing something, the Heat don't look like successful le defenders, and the Cavs got nothing but LBJ who doesn't have the passion or the help to go all the way.

Ok point is well taken, but out of the 3 teams that you made mentioned of, which one you pick to come out of the east
I think every team should be worried about the Heat, especially if Wade is back for the playoffs. They are winning big of late, WITHOUT Wade, so you'd be foolish to not realize they're a threat. Never count a Shaq-led team out. He's past his prime, but he's still one of the top three centers in the league.
You really don't get it, do you? He's 35 years old, fer chrissakes! You ever hear of "pacing yourself"?
I guess you're the kind of person who will argue against success.
Shaq hasn't done for years.
He shows up fat and outta shape.
He's not pacing himself, he's just lazy and bored.
He didn't play in the Finals last year like he's been playing since Wade went out.
i apologize. didn't realize you were trying to be funny. lol
I certainly won't make the mistake of overlooking the Heat again. The Mav players won't either if given a chance at payback.
What??? Eddie Jones has something left in the tank? When E. Jones was about to be released people in here were saying that the last thing the Spurs needed was another washed up old guy.
I dont think they become a concern until we make it to the Finals and the Heat come out of the east.
I think Shaq will have pleny left with how much of the season he sat out
Enough to carry them to the finals? I think he needs Wade to get them there.
The west has won 6 of the last 8 les. (Spurs and Lakers)
The east has won 2 of the last 8 les. (Pistons and Heat)
The East has still won 2 out of the last 3 les, what are you trying to say?
I'm in Miami right now and actually went to the Heat game against Utah last night with my business associate who is a season ticket holder (seats mid section lower level, row 8. PHAT!!). Anyway, great game and my friend and some other Heat fans I know like the Spurs. But I don't think the Spurs should be concerned with ANYBODY in the East. They need to focus 100% on Dallas and Phoenix, not to mention a possible first round matchup against a tough team like the Lakers.
