We can go back and forth all day long...and the ring was from 2 years ago IIRC. I think the spurs put them out last year. Bad memory //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

yes it was 2004 but the same starting 5. the other 3 ties have never won a ring in their franchise history, and 2 of them have yet to make it to the finals ever. detroit was 12 minutes or a rasheed wallace trap from winning that series last year

The injuries substained last year had NOTHING to do with conditioning. You can be the most conditioned person in the universe, and still get injured if you fall wrong or get hit.

Last night Miami lost because they missed wide open layups and shots. The got penetration and missed...They have only themselves to blame. Don't be suprised if Detroit comes home down 3 -1 in the series, because Miami is fully capable of handling Detroit. And I won't be suprised if they go back home with the series tied 2-2, because Detroit IS good and Miami tends to play inconsistantly.

getting game 1 confused with game 2? there were no missed layups, miami wasn't getting any penetration outside of wade a few times. detroit was moving the ball on offense instead of trying to play 1 on 1.

Still making excuses for detroit not winning last year? One play doesn't make or break a team. So to say one rasheed trap would have won the game is propostorous. Why don't you just say one made shot would have won the game? It's probably the truth in nearly every close game.

Keyword "was". Past tense. They didn't win it, so get over it.

Dam it you beat me too it. I was gonna say same thing since ghost said they did it to themselves in game 2. Detriot did it to themselves in game 1 as well. So now its 1 all. I am thinking this one might go all 7.

Regardless of how they sustained the injuries it is still easier to get hurt when you're not in the best condition. I will also say that Detroit is also playing very inconsistently this post season. One minute they look unbeatable and the next they look like a high school team. The fact of the matter is this: A consistent Detroit team will own ANY team in the league, case closed. Even if Miami is consistent they can't match up with Detroit when they're clicking on all cylinders.

Jesus, if the Mavs lose this one I lost all faith in them. They are not playing like they were against the Spurs.

Yeah they are, they just haven't made the adjustments necessary to stop the Suns offense.

The percentages are similar, but it just seems they are missing the shots that count. Its hard to contain Nash, hes amazing.

not his game. we are well aware ben wallace is a bad free throw shooter, so i don't see the purpose of this post

Well going on Statistics, the Suns havent won the 2nd game in any of the playoff games this year. So I am not worried.
