text: are there any reasons you can think of that would prevent the miami heat from eliminating the detroit pistons? the heat are now 2-1 over the pistons. can they really eliminate the big, bad pistons? i think they just might pull it off! detroit pistons remind me of the detroit red wings (hockey).  they are the best team in the regular season, but can't get it done during the playoffs.  pistons aren't as "bad" as everybody thinks.  they play good defense, but their offense is (although improved) still pretty bad.    the heat remind me of the lakers a few years ago...except now kobe is replaced by wade.  they got the 1-2 punch...and shaq can handle wallace or anybody they put on him.  they rested him for the playoffs and if shaq stays out of foul trouble, pistons are in trouble.
