Dallas in Six. Dirk is going to give Miami fits on defense. With Dirk capable of shooting the long ball, Shaq is going to eventually have to defend the perimeter. There is no way Shaq will be able to guard Dirk. Haslem wont be able to guard him. Zo wont be able to guard him. Watch for Dallas to run the pick and roll alot. We've seen it again and again. Shaq has a tough time defending it. The backcourt combo of Harris and Terry is just too quick for the Miami backcourt. They also have the swingman Stackhouse and Daniels. Wade is better than all of them, but Gary and Williams wont be able to keep up. I see the Dallas guards slashing the lanes, getting to the foul line, and getting the Diesel into alot of foul trouble. Defending Shaq? I think that Shaq can be defended with a combo of Diop and Dampier. Both legit 7 footers. They have a total of 12 fouls to give, and with aging Shaq, he wont be able to take the pounding very long. Shaq will get some good looks, but Avery will be sure to contest every one of them. The Mavs in 6. Sorry Shaq, you wont get a 4th Finals MVP or Ring. Dirk will be MVP and Mark "The Dick" Cuban will get his first NBA title.
Dallas is going to be a bigger challenge, not that Detroit really put up a fight to begin with. Dallas has bigger defenders and a pretty young squad of people. They have alot of depth and Dirk is playing some of the best ball ever. I think Dallas will take it, I hope they take it, and I say they take it in 6 or 7 because they are a great road team.
