Please. Houston is overrated. Dallas, I'd consider them a good team if they didn't fizzle in the playoffs every year. Dirk is an amazing player though.

We'll see. The only teams that can, IMHO, beat the Rockets in a series are Phoenix and San Antonio. I like the Rockets bench, they are going to have a hard time without Howard though.

only problem with expecting that houston can win anything is that they have to depend on two guys who have yet to show they can step up...yao really hasn't progressed all that much and mcgrady has never shown the ability to do much...his one shot in orlando he did nothing when they made the playoffs
as far as phoenix they are a bit of an 'x' factor...no one could stop them all season and as someone said earlier their defense maybe isn't as bad as u would think for a high scoring team...i just dont think they are big enough up front to go far
basically we have san antonio and detroit and a bunch of otherwise unproven teams, regardless of what stars they may have

well they were up 3-1 on the pistons until tmac ran his mouth and the pistons shoved their you know whats right down it. the way the pistons ended the season and played their first game today, i dont know how many teams will be able to play with them for 7 games. they can come back from big deficits and their big men can knock shaq around a little and stuff up the middle.
the heat dont have much of a supporting cast. eddie jones is alright but cant match up with either of the pistons starting guards. damon jones started strong and started to fizzle and hasnt done much to impress me. alonzo is too old. haslem had a decent season but he wont do much against detroit going up against big ben and rasheed.
but it is the playoffs and you never know what's gonna happen. hopefully we see some good basketball regardless of who wins!

Wow, Houston up 2-0  Avery Johnson sounded pretty upset in the press conference.

Dude, the Bulls would give Detroit all they could handle.
Even without two of their regular season starters. I wish they were meeting up in the playoffs. The Bulls are probably the most underrated team right now but I bet nobody wants to play against them.
