im serious this is [censored] BS!!! even the announcers realize it and just said it. "every foul that shaq was called for last game, he hasn't been called for tonight."

And Duncan is just too fundamentally good for Amare to be able to pass up with athletisism (spelling sucks I know). Amare will never be as good of a rebounder as those two or be able to hit the outside shot as good as them either. Also he will never be as good of a passer as KG, who is the best passing big man in the game. Also, both TD and KG make the people around them better. Amare needed Nash to get to the level he was this past year. Don't get me wrong, Amare is a good if not great player but he is not the second best player. Another thing to look at is KG almost NEVER misses a game, he played a few years ago with a broken finger on his shooting hand, had knee problems this past year and you never heard him say a word on it. Most of the time it didn't come out until after the season was done. Top 5 in the league right now is KG, TD, Shaq, Lebron, Kidd (but he is only going down).
Well, I meant over the next few years, not right now. He did tear up Duncan in this past series, though. To say he will never be as good as Garnett and Duncan is EXTREMELY shortsighted, IMO. Considering his age, he is simply incredible.

well bad play by the pistons again not being able to knock down shots. props to the heat who executed great and shared the ball instead of just going into 1 on 1 offense (minus shaq). the heat just outplayed and out-hustled the pistons. i hate to say it but i think the season is over.

i completely agree with newmadamus, the strides stoudemire has already made at such a young age has impressed me, A LOT! he was on my fantasy bball team so i was able to follow his play all season. his offense is dominant, to say the least, and his defense improved all year. he played very consistent and i can't wait to see what more is to come from him.

Yep. He's the next Shaq (but much more exciting to watch). I'm afraid LeBron is going to be your typical Eastern Conference superstar: great player, throws up 30 a night, but his team sucks. Like you said, Amare is a straight up freak.

He just needs to work on his D and he will be dominate the league.
On the right team, I could see Lebron pulling an Oscar Robertson and averaging a triple double.

for sure, i could definitely see him having 30+ triple-doubles in a season.

Someone should call the cops, the Heat just got murdered.  Now I'm anxious for Monday, just to see what'll happen! I know the Heat will show up, ready to play, but will the Pistons be able to pull another one of these nights? I could NOT believe how BAD the Heat played tonite, it seemed like their rim was bent like a carnval hoop or something, cuz nothing would go in for em... (One more and I get my wish! Woooo.) E1

I think they only shot 2% worse than Detroit for the game. Seems like an odd stat considering the final score.
