Dunno, I watched the Pistons/Spurs game yesterday and after San An lost Duncan after like 2 minutes they played really well, only really lost because their shooting touch fizzled out in the final few minutes. Their bench came up big time, same with Detroit really. If they got Duncan back and played that well they could beat anyone.

On the other hand Detroit were really impressive, not the usual defensive emphasis, don't get me wrong they were still really solid but they pushed the ball well off of rebounds and steals, and Prince especially was excellent.

I haven't seen much of the Heat this season but any team with Shaq in has got a chance as long as the support players are decent, and Wade seems good.

Suns are awesome, awesome team but the only thing I would say is that against those other 3 teams they may find themselves outmatched at 4 and 5. Don't get me wrong Stoudamire is fantastic but Outlaw and McCarty when it matters won't cut it against Wallace & Rasheed, Shaq or Duncan, IMO.
