will sheed have any predictions for this series?

Pistons advanced to conf. finals vs the well rested Heat. It was too good to last for the Cavs.

Congrats sa mga Pistons fans.....looking forward to a Clippers-Mavs sa West.

I don't think Cleveland will make any significant changes during the offseason, they are capped out. They already spent their Cap money on - Larry Hughes, Damon Jones, and Donyel Marshall and King James is due for an extention (MAX Money). If they can trade one of their bigs for a prime time PG it would be a step in the right direction.

Miami v.s. Detroit - a re-match of last years conference Finals. Go DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDetroit, I guess it was a blessing in disguise that the Cleveland series went 7, it woke up the sleeping Giant.

the cavs lineup are meant to just enter the playoffs, they over achieve pa nga di ba,
the problem lang hughes yet to compliment LBJ, although may mga flashes ng team work, like some nifty alley oops,

Wade will come out big this time...wag lang ma-injure. They have a better crew than last year with veterans Payton and Walker and JWill at the point. This will be an interesting series. Shaq/Haslem vs Big Ben/Sheed....colossal battle at the paint. Parang tag-team wrestling match. Pistons in 7 prediction ko....when talent vs experience evens out the series at 3-3. Game 7 is guaraSheed.....

the last thing the pistons want is well rested heat veterans he..he
i'd say piston will still win this IF they apply their "Shaqling Defense on wade... he..he

eh ho now did see lindsey hunter's the one covering lebron james....hmmm
and oh how james did not dominate that matchup....hmmmmm

Re:Cavs. give them time. Hughes and James only played around 40+ games together which isn't enough.

Hughes can complement James, if he can average over 20PPG with Arenas and Jamison, he can certainly do it with LBJ who is a better passer than Arenas and is more willing to pass. Problem with Hughes is that he can't seem to play 82 games in a season, every year some part of his body breaks down ala Marcus Camby.

Wade always comes up big in the playoffs, this year will be no different. Problem is if gets injured its bye bye championship hopes.
