GO HEAT

I feel like such a traitor. In the Heat/ Pistons series, I've left my allegiance to the Pistons and am rooting for Shaq (pictured) and Co. Ever since Larry Bird stole an in-bounds pass and beat Isaiah and the Bad Boys, I've backed the Pistons.

Well, until I moved to Arizona. I've been a huge Suns fan since Nash came to town.

Last season when it appeared that the Heat and Suns could meet in the NBA finals, I supposedly change my allegiance. I tried to root for them then because of long time family friend Mike Hicks. I just didn't try hard. This year, I'm completely weaned from the Pistons.

The reason: the Suns can't beat the Pistons, but they match up good with the Heat. In fact, the Suns run so much that they neutralize Shaq (pictured) who simply can't keep up. Unless he just stays at the Heat's end of the court, he can't play.

Unfortunately, the match up, like last year may not happen. But if it doesn't, then they can crown the mavs or Pistons. The Heat will be as immobile as Shaq (pictured.)
