Miami is off to a good start, but they haven't played anyone good yet. They've beat up on new jersey and the wizards twice, which they should, and barely snuck by cleveland. They play Dallas and the Spurs back to back on thursday and friday, and that will be a good indicator of where they are at.
I'm not sold on em as a title threat yet, gotta see how Udonis Haslem turns out. He;s a key to this team. He;s capable of 15 and 10 every night, and if he can put up those kind of numbers, the Heat could become title contenders. Shaq and Kobe never had a third wheel putting up double doubles every night...

That;s the thing...Shaq isn't that young anymore....he's been hurt or at only half-strength for long parts of the last 3 seasons now. If he stays healthy, and if the other players play well together, they can become a title threat. But Wade can't carry them all the way, and neither can Wade, a half-strength Shaq, and noone else. It;s going to be tough for them to even get out of the East, nevermind win the title

I'm teasing the twolves to +1.5 against the rockets tonight with the over at 168.5 because tmac is hurting and probably going to miss the game, for any interested

nerve-wracking game, but the twolves pulled through for me. Wish i went with my instincts on the Dallas game, damn Finley's injury made me second guess and lay off it.

i love the shaq doubters that always say he's dropping off. shaq has been limited because the miami heat are limiting him. they're doing just fine right now, and when it comes down the stretch and shaq is dominating we'll see the shaq doubters muck.

im not saying shaq isnt a great player, I'm being a realist....he isn't that young anymore, during the finals last year he only had 1 good game....he has been injured and missed time the last three years...and you can not bank on having a dominant shaq during the postseason anymore....as the last two years have shown.
He's not really being limited by the team, he isn't playing at full strength....which seems to be a reoccuring thing now. Yeah, with the weak Eastern Conference they should have a walk to the conference finals....but we've seen before that the pistons can handle him. And they sure didnt look just fine tonight against one of the west's best teams. Dallas blew them out of the gym
