The Heat are a great team no doubt, but I wouldn't count the Pistons out at all. They have more of an all-around game then the Heat, which includes a lot of good big men and a lot of defense. I would say that overall they are a more solid team. If Shaq and Dwayne don't get in foul trouble or injured then I would probably choose them to take the East. I am a big fan of Udonis and having Zo backing up Shaq gives them a solid front court, and then besides the amazing Wade, Damon Jones is so hot from three points and Eddie Jones is very solid and can light it up from three point on occasion. I think the Heat will probably take it, but I don't think its a given at all. Shaq vs Ben Wallace
In the West, I don't really want to guess. Traditional knowledge would tell us that the Spurs are consistant and good at defense and should be able to stop the Suns pretty easilly, but in the playoffs I could see the Suns getting super hot, nailing threes from all over, just running the Spurs out of the water. I am going to wait before I make a prediction on that one, because I don't like the Spurs as a sure fire pick.
