RETRO: 06 playoff problems

SO Dallas finally overcame San Antonio. They're playing pretty tough, and like I said, this was the real conference finals and they should move on easily. The Suns might be thinking upset, but they had a big fight on their own hands. Sad to see the Clippers miss a rare, rare, chance to make it far. Anyway, I'll call Dallas in six, because Phoenix has enough energy to keep it close. But not win.

In the East, I really wanted to see LeBron do the impossible, and he came SOOOOOOOO close. But it's another Pistons-Heat matchup, and I called them over Miami in seven games. After that Cavs series, Detroit looks very vulernable, and Miami took it to New Jersey after a strange opening game. I think the Heat can do it, but Detroit still turns it on when they need to, so I'll stick with them in seven. I'd like to see Mavs vs. Heat, for something new, but Pistons-Suns would be an interesting clash of styles.

I say Detroit over Dallas in seven, but I'm not rooting for it.
