First we have to beat the Mavs. :boxin: :brucelee:

It is more then the Mavs, Spurs, and Suns that are better that have no chance against those 3 NONE it be a sweep. And Rockets, and Nuggets, and even Jazz would all beat DET.Stop overrating them just cause they are in the East.
<span style="font-family:Arial">It's a shame most of the young guys on here, never got to see Grant Hill in his prime.

yeah he put up some great stats and was mad as back then.I never saw Hill play in his prime but iv'e seen many videos and clips from when he was playing in detriot and believe me he was great, a very enjoyable player to watch.I don't know if he will ever make the NBA HOF? he could, or couldn't .. I personaly don't know and I don't know if he deserves it to. it's a intresting a question/thing on my mind.

It's because they are a solid all around team, unlike the Nuggets who falter frequently. And stop acting like the Nuggets are better than the Jazz, because they aren't.

Two of the best all round games you're likely to see. Hill was an absolute beast, he could do it all and was a treat to watch.

The reffs don't send AI to the line Melo get's hammered and get's 3-4 offense of fouls called against HIM. LOL I mean pathetic sure some calls did not go in Duncan's fav, but that is not comparble to what they do to mess up Denver.Denver is way better then you think they have showed that even though down 3-1 it is the Spurs 3rd best team in the league.
