Poor? Last time I checked he gets praised for his defense. He's 6th in the league in steals and avg's close to a block per game. Apparently you don't pay much attention. All you people from Michigan think the Pistons are the greatest. They've only won one championship, when and if they get two, then you can start talking. On to your analysis of the game. First of all, Shaq won't be defending Rasheed, and Miami rarely goes with both Shaq and Zo at the same time. Besides the fact, you want to talk about having a "star" on your bench, well what the hell do you think Zo was? Zo was much better than Mcdyess was. Not to mention his defensive capabilities are much better than Mcdyess. See the problem with Detroit this year is there coach sucks balls. A larry brown led Pistons team would not have gone 7 games against the Cavs, and they would have swept the Bucks. Miami is just getting better as the playoffs go on.
