Rox are the currently the hottest team in the west, and the Heat are currently the hottest team in the East....... just some food for thought....
Miami vs JVG, in a 7-game series? I can't wait to see JVG hanging and dragging on Zo's leg, or maybe Shaq's, in game 7.
The marketing potential for this is HUGE. Let's face it, people weren't all that excited about the Lakers winning 3 championships. The Eastern Conference sucked and the finals ratings suffered accordingly. Detroit is a great team if you enjoy fundamental basketball. Unfortunately, boxing out and playing tight D doesn't sell enough tickets. I'll bet David Stern is drooling over the possibility of a Miami-Houston matchup. I hope this means the refs will finally give Yao the same respect they give Shaq and Duncan so we can fulfill our destiny 2005 champs. /rant
Shaq vs. Yao Wade vs. T-mac JVG vs. SVG Mourning vs. Ewing + Deke, the old Georgetown matchup, none of them has a ring, that's a nice story. So if Mourning wins, he will brag in front of Ewing; otherwise, Ewing brags it.
dont really see how ewing can brag when he is a coach, i mean its one thing to win a ring as a coach but it means more as a player. i am sure ewing would trade in any rings he may win as a coach for a ring that he could have had as a player also zo is not the zo of 90s this guy is productive but is basically piggy backing to the finals hopefully, while i am sure he takes great pride in what he can contribute in a quest for a ring not sure if it will mean the same since its shaq and wades team
