    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MIAMI ? If you offered the Detroit Pistons a combination of an injured Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal before Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, they would gladly take it while donning Rasheed Wallace's Cheshire cat-like grin. The problem was the Pistons didn't know that the "guys that don't get a lot of credit" were going to show up.

    It was bad enough for the Heat that O'Neal has been strongly hampered by a right thigh contusion. Wade also suffered a rib muscle strain on a crossover dribble during Game 5. But with thoughts of a first-ever franchise berth to the NBA Finals in mind, the guys that don't get a lot of credit on the Heat roster saved the day. Now, Miami is a win away from becoming East champions.</div>
