dili man si griffin ang first option sa shooting guard position... either jason terry or devin harris na bro...

.. that's the luxury that Dallas have in their line-up. they have different combinations, different looks, different strategies in their pocket. Griffin has been the shooting guard since he came to Dallas (45 starts of 52), but was shelved for the Harris experiment - which worked - in game 2 of their series against the Spurs. Daniels is also an option if they wanna go long so there's really no first options here. it's up to AJ what combination he'll use now against the Heat.

Si Dirk will only go for outside shots... hard to post op O'neal if they are on Offensive situation.

WHY THE HEAT WILL WIN

The Mavs have looked fantastic in the playoffs. They're strong and quick and deeper than any other team in the league.

But they were a little lucky to get past the Spurs. Dallas would have been eliminated by the Spurs had it not been for a terrible Manu Ginobili foul at the end of Game 7. And the Mavs were fortunate to get the Suns in the conference finals, considering the Suns were injured and exhausted and had no bench. I think Dallas is in for a much tougher matchup with Miami.

Shaq dominates the middle. The guy is still more powerful than a locomotive and, having dropped 20-or-so pounds, even looks light on his feet. He's figured out how to avoid offensive fouls on his post moves. He's making the smart, patient play on the block -- posting, passing, reposting, scoring. He's getting deep position and making a much more upward offensive move to the basket instead of the inward offensive move that was getting him in trouble earlier in the playoffs. On defense, he shuts down the driveway. There will be no easy stuff at the rim for the Mavs.

D-Wade is the best player left standing in the playoffs, and it's always good to have the best player on your team. His scoring average (26.2) and his shooting percentage (50.9) have been outstanding, especially when you consider the number of difficult shots he's been forced into taking.

The Pistons had some success when they ran several guys at him, but he is skillful and athletic enough to find a crack and exploit it. Wade seems to get stronger as the game progresses and now owns the fourth quarter. His one-on-five drive and acrobatic flip shot against the Pistons was one of the greatest plays of the entire season.

Coach Pat Riley has really pulled this team together. I'm sure Shaq has had a big influence here, too. But ever since Miami's meltdown in Game 4 of the Bulls series, the Heat have looked like a very cohesive unit. Since then, they've won 10-of-13 games, and Riley has done an excellent job of building team unity. There have been no knucklehead antics, no bickering and no selfishness. The Heat look very professional and focused on winning a championship. (We'll have to get Insider to find out what's in that big bowl in the Heat's locker room.)

Shaq, D-Wade and Riley will get hours of airtime leading up to Thursday's tip, but the most important guy for the Heat in the Finals just might be Udonis Haslem. If Haslem can shut down Dirk, or at least keep him under control, the Heat will win.

Haslem has the size, speed and toughness to keep Nowitzki boxed up. He's a little bigger and stronger than the guys Dirk has seen so far in the playoffs. He'll get physical with Dirk and knock him off balance.

Haslem harassed Rasheed Wallace into nonfactor status in the Pistons series and will be challenged to do so again in the Finals. So it's up to you, U. If you can defend Dirk, the Heat will win in six.

WHY THE MAVS WILL WIN

I've had a front-row seat for Miami Heat games for many years, including nine seasons as a Heat broadcaster during coach Pat Riley's initial tenure.

Their march through the Eastern Conference, including their decisive six-game demolition of the Detroit Pistons, was as impressive a display as I've ever seen from the Heat. They are playing at a very high level, with the excellent teamwork and defensive effort that fans and Riley always envisioned.

I've watched Shaquille O'Neal closely for many years, and especially the last two seasons in Miami. His performance against the Pistons was vintage Shaq, especially in Game 6 -- in fact, that was as good as he's ever been, in my opinion.

The problem for Miami and Shaq is this -- the Dallas Mavericks are just not a good matchup for them.

The Mavs' trademarks are depth and quickness, two traits the Heat lack. The Mavs' starting lineup is quicker than Miami's, and they can bring in a number of talented, athletic players off the bench.

For Dallas, it starts with Dirk Nowitzki, who will be a very tough cover for the Heat. Udonis Haslem will probably need help covering Nowitzki, which will open up the court for the rest of Mavericks. As Chicago showed, a quick, penetrating team can get to the rim and create foul trouble for Shaq. Well, the Mavs are even more talented than the Bulls.

Other than Dirk, the Mav who will cause the most headaches is Josh Howard. The Dallas swingman is a defensive stopper who can slow down Dwyane Wade on one end and then run amok on the offensive end, because the Heat just don't have an answer for him.

Likewise, the Heat have no natural matchup for Dallas' secondary offensive stars, Jason Terry and Jerry Stackhouse. And that's before you get to Devin Harris and Keith Van Horn, who also will be a handful against the larger, slower Heat.

With this kind of team speed, the Mavs at times will threaten to run the Heat right off the floor.

Of course, a big question for the Mavs is how they'll match up with Shaq. But even this can turn into an advantage for them if they can make Shaq work at the defensive end. Dallas coach Avery Johnson has the option of going small and forcing Shaq out of the defensive paint. Or he can play Shaq one-on-one with DeSagana Diop and Erick Dampier, two defensive and rebounding specialists who combined for 5-of-7 shooting and 16 rebounds in just 37 minutes the last time these two teams played.

The Miami Heat have Shaq, Wade, a savvy team of veterans and a coach with four rings. But they don't have the depth, quickness or shooting ability to match up well with Dallas.

That's why I expect the Mavs to win in six.

sayop iya analysis nga si haslem daw nag harass ni rasheed wallace mao na non-factor siya... na-injured biya to si wallace sa cleveland nga series.

[omad]

.. bitaw. injured ankle to si Rasheed, pero murag nawad-an ug umoy ang Detroit after napildi sa Cavs ug 3 ka games. na-ihaw nuon.

[fish]

ang ilang coach moy dahilan ato bro... dili niya i-involve si ben wallace sa offense.

[omad]

.. usa sad na pero gi take advantage nila ang weakness ni Ben - freethrow - mao nga lingkod tawn pirmi si Ben inig fourth quarter basta labaw ang Heat kay "hack-a-Ben" ilang gamiton.

[fish]

ako pa sa pistons, ilisan nila si saunders... ibalik nila si brown. champion pa sila ug balik.
