Forget about seeing Delfino from here on out, unless he plays due to injury. Flip can`t afford to play him now.

I dunno. Flip said yesterday that since Delfino guards Wade so well, he plans to use him. Is that the kiss of death for Delfino? Could be.

Wade to Shaq... Wade to Shaq
Gotta watch that drive and lob

Kinda figure Riley's added some new wrinkles with the time off... most likely sending off the ball cutters.

I support bringing Cato in once in the 1st half to soften Shaq... D.D. is worse than Ben at keeping Shaq 's dominance to a minimum.

If Wade does that instead of driving against us I'm fine with that!

Adonis, we love your enthusiasm and confidence.

Thank you for another great season!

Did he really say that? Well let`s see if it happens. I`ll have to see it to believe it.

I would love to see how Delfino plays, and will Flip yank him after a mistake? Wouldn`t it be great if Delfino would slow Wade and contribute offensively.

Can`t a guy dream???????

OK anti up... giving 5 to 1 odds that Delfino gets no burn in non GT.

Ben, Dice and Tay should make more cuts into the lane on offense. By doing this more, they may draw some fouls on Shaq. Get Shaq in foul trouble early and we will coast to victory.

DETROIT BASKETBALL! LET'S GO!!!

Riley has brought his first excuse of the series. He is saying one week is too much and the team may not be ready after a long rest. What does these Miami want? IF they rest too much they complain, if they play too much they complain. How dare Riley mention this when playing against a team who is coming out of a long seven game series. I tell you what...we should count the number of excuses Miami will use in this series.

Gooo Pistions

Yeah...I'm wondering if we were to lose (which we won't) then can we use the excuse that Sheed's ankle is hurt sort of how the Heat have said for a WHOLE year that they lost because of DWade's injury? Yeah right.

Hopefully Delfino gets some tick. JMax--he needs to be waived--I loved his game in college, but he is too slow to be a three and doesn't have the explosiveness to be a 4. I actually think his game is just horrible and have no idea what people are seeing in him. Mo Evans is a go getter on the glass, but he clogs the O with his lack of ballhandling.
