<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>1. Because the Heat have home court advantage, and our advantage at home is larger than anyone outside of Detroit. 4 games, including game 7*, in Miami.2. Because even with the Nets "trio" of RJ, Vince and Kidd...the Heat have Shaq and Wade. Having a big threat both inside and out is almost always a better option.3. Because eventhough Vince Carter will get his, he will take more bad shots than Dwyane Wade.4. Because this is the PLAYOFFS, and we all know how Vince performs in the postseason.5. Because the Bulls are actually MORE athletic on the perimeter than the Nets are, and the Heat found a way to cut down their penetration.6. Because as much trouble as the Bulls gave the Heat, the Pacers showed plenty of weakness in the Nets. 7. Because the NBA is full of conspiracy theories, and everyone knows the league would much rather see a Miami-Detroit rematch than a New Jersey-Detroit series.8. Because Miami has much more depth at every position on the floor. The threat of dealing with their perimeter threats is there, but Miami has 5 decent-to-good defenders (Shandon/Derek/Posey/Payton/Wade) to throw right back at them. Not to mention, 3 centers that are as good or better than Jason Collins.9. Because an aging, worn-down Shaq is better than an aging, worn-down Jason Kidd.10. Zo's passionate dislike for the Nets organization.</div>
If you ask me number 1 should be the Nets lack of execution in the 4th quarter.They went on shutdown mode and played horrible in the 4th quarter,which lead them to lose the series.
