<p>Actually the '96 Magic had more than just Shaq. They had a one-two punch of penny hardaway and shaq.</p>

The '96 Magic weren't down 3-1. In fact, they beat the Pistons that year. </p>
<p>The 2002-2003 Magic were down 3-1, with no player on their team outside of Tracy McGrady.</p>
<p>Mcgrady to me sucks now. He used to be good though.</p>
<p>There's nothing that "sucks" about averaging 24.4 points per game. That's 12th in the league.</p>
<p>Thats why I said "to me" meaning thats what I think. Just like I think the pistons are the best team in the NBA. </p>
<p>Diffrent opinions.</p>
<p>Well TO ME, the Mavs are the best team in the NBA as Dirk (who should have won the MVP) scored 50 points (the most anyone has scored in the postseason this year) and they destroyed the Suns by 16!</p>
<p>You're right, they are different opinions. One is right coming from a man who has half a brain about basketball, one is wrong coming from a clueless fan.</p>
<p>I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to find anyone remaining in the playoffs who can even pretend to cover Dirk. It seems like there's times where he just decides he isn't going to miss anymore and he can keep that up for an extended period of time.</p>
<p>On another note, I'd really like to see Wade and Howard go at it. And Diop and Shaq! I have all the faith in the world in Diop.</p>
<p>Who do you think will win these possible matchups?</p>
<p>Miami v Dallas
Miami v Phoenix</p>
<p>I think the mavs will win the series against the Suns in game 7. I think Nash will be too tired to really step it up for his team and it seems like they've lost every game he's struggled in. Phoenix wouldn't be able to beat Miami anyway, mainly because of the difference in size and the fact that Dwyane Wade is an absolute stud. I love his acrobatic moves. It's really too bad Amare Stoudemire has been out for so long, or else Phoenix really would have a chance of winning a title. </p>
<p>Heat and Mavs would be a better matchup. I would love to watch Dirk, Wade, Terry, JWill (love how they call him "White Chocolate." He talks like he's ghetto.), Shaq, Diop, and Alonzo mourning together. </p>
<p>Speaking of Wade, is it just me or does his Converse commercial make no logical sense at all? Fall 7 times. Stand up 8. Why would you need to stand before you fall? Or stand up twice after falling once? Who the hell thought of that commercial? I understand that "Fall 7 times, stand up 7" doesn't sound as good, but still.</p>
<p>Tonight, the Pistons looked like the Warriors on a bad night. I will admit to being a HUGE gsw fan though. go jrich! I've got to be optimistic after what happened with the Clippers. :)</p>
<p>If you count the time you are standing before you fall, it would be 8... </p>
<p>Standing/fall/stand/fall/stand/fall/stand/fall/stand/fall/stand/fall/stand/fall/stand</p>
<p>See, you want to be the first, and last one standing.</p>
<p>Bring on whoever....LETS GO HEAT!</p>
<p>
Why would you need to stand before you fall?
</p>
<p>bahhahaah.</p>
<p>I hate the Heat...esp after they beat my beloved Nets.</p>
<p>Let me say this one more time...WHO'S GOING TO THE NBA FINALS in 2007?</p>
<p>That's RIGHT!!</p>
<p>THE NEW YORK KNICKS and the GREAT....I said it....THE GREAT...STEEEEEEEPHONNN MARBURY</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am a Knicks fan though...It's rather depressing, but thank God for the Nets. :)</p>
<p>Phoenix would definitely give Miami a better run for their money. Shaq would die from all of the running Phoenix does, and he wouldn't be able to guard on defense. They are a perimeter team and are better at their game (running and launching up 3's) than Miami is at theirs (fast break). They have Raja that can cover Dwyane, and they don't have an answer for Nash. Dallas wouldn't be able to stop Shaq, Nowitzki is weak on the defensive end.</p>
<p>My heart says PHX, but my head says DAL.</p>
<p>Haha, Pistons suck. Well not really, but they lost. Eh.</p>
<p>Hey dvlfnfv5, have you made your college decision yet?</p>
<p>i meant why would you need to STAND UP before you fall? i understand you need to BE standing</p>
<p>NBA Finals Game 1: Miami @ Dallas - Thursday June 8</p>
<p>I think the Mavs take it... their defense has improved markedly over last year, they have an overwhelmingly deep bench, and their team speed is by far the best in the league (D-Wade, your super fast moves won't work as well against the likes of Howard and Terry). I think it's Cuban's year.</p>
