The Heat had the game in the bag until the last five minutes. Wade barely showed up and Shaq played almost the whole game. Is it that the Heat made too many mistakes at the end or that Detroit just turned it up at the end. Is Detroit a good enough team to toy with the Heat? Detroit sure looks good. Its gonna be interesting to see who wins.

I made up my mind last night... yes, I believe the Miami Heat will win the NBA championship...
Shaq put on a performance as if it were a playoff series... which is exactly what I need to see to believe in the Heat... I'm not sure what is numbers were, but he was aggressive on the low block, getting the ball, and getting it up on the rim. That is exactly what Miami needs... I truly think that if Shaq is in good condition in the playoffs and the young Mr. Wade plays his best game that Detroit is just not good enough to beat them.

Last night may have been played like a playoff game by Shaq, but I didn't get that impression from the rest of his teammates... Too many bad turnovers by Jason Williams and Wade... Cut down on stupid mistakes in the back-court and continued aggressive play by Shaq makes Miami the team to beat.
