Can't take the Heat!

Sorry, Detroit fans, the Heat will win the Eastern Conference Finals.

No, I’m not talking crap but with a 3-to-1 deficit, it would be entirely difficult for the motor town boys to upend the scorching Heatians.

It’s no-brainer actually.

With Dwyane Wade shooting 70% from the field, waaay above Abdul-Jabbar of 74 (66.3% vs. the Bulls) and Shaquille O’neal of 98 (63.0% vs. the Sonics) and with Shaq back in his healthy-dominating self, the Heat we’ll be locking up one seat in the world championship.

It’s revenge, baby!

And you’ve got to love the White Hot Heat campaign for it.

Figuratively, it’s making the Heatians hot making it appear that their 2005 defeat courtesy of the Pistons a major fluke.

But so much for D-Wade and Shaq’s magnificent performances, the Heat are playing great team ball. That’s something you’ve got to give to Riley. He created this team in the off-season despite having a lot of doubting Thomases. I mean, who would have thought that the King of Gab, the Boston choker and the messed up White Chocolate would blend together to form a great supporting cast? Not I. But certainly Pat did and that’s what makes him a great playoff coach.

And also, what sets him apart from Flip Saunders.

Well, maybe just for the time being now that his team is looking like a *dysfunctional outfit.

What Flip needs to do is to find away to fire up his wards and make them believe that he can take them to the next level. And he has to be honest in doing so. From now on, it’s only going to be the “truth” inside the locker room. And the truth says one thing: they’re not playing like the old dominant Pistons who topped the NBA in the regular season.

It aint over ‘till the fat lady sings.

But first things first, they need to stop the Flash and the Diesel. They can’t afford to give them great scoring nights more so, to rely on the law of averages in the hope that Wade and O’neal will miss their shots later on in the series. Simply put, they should start making them throw bricks instead of wishing that they missed.

Game 5 goes back to the state of Michigan.

Thus, Detroit fans need to pray the cool weather and the isolated rain showers cool off the Heat.

Or else, the season’s over for ‘em.
