***The MIAMI HEAT 2006 NBA CHAMPIONS thread.***

Thing is I think....with emphasis on the word think, that as good as NJ is we match up well defensivly with them, and they dont match up as well on the defensive side of the ball

But If Shaq gets in some foul trouble that could be huge for the Nets

Heat in 6

 

[Straztheman]

That's what I am thinking...all close games though...

This will be a very good series, but i expect the Heat to win it in 7.

 

[Ferretsquig]

You need BONZI WELLS.

:sidelol:

Tyson Chandler is worthless..

How many athletic 7' players are there in the league that play defense? The man single handedly took Shaq out of 5 games. Get someone to teach him some post moves and hes well on his way to becoming a good player.

The Heat havnt been able to slow down Vince at all. Thats going to be all on Posey. You have to live with the jumpers....just dont let him drive and create havoc. But if the Heat can play good clean basketball, not turning it over, running their offense, and pounding it inside all day, they should be able to put up 100+ on the Nets every game. NJ cant play Shaq and Wade like Chicago did....in fact noone else the Heat will face can do that.

Ferret, Why laugh at the Bonzi Wells comment? The guy has turned the corner...he is having Karl Malone/ SHAQ numbers in the playoffs...against TIM DUNCAN of all people..

He would give the Bulls a low post presence..nevermind that he can also shoot and hit threes..Bonzi is a stud.

As for Tyson Chandler..he gives you zero offense..and I mean zero..he can't even pass good..defensively..he resorts to flopping..that isn't defense..

he is just a 7 foot athlete...but a crappy basketball player.

nice to see O'Neal have a very dominate game. this should put to rest all of the "he's too old" comments

I think no matter what Shaq does fans of other NBA teams will say He's too old.

SHAQ only looks old when he is in foul trouble...because he is on the bench.

In games where he was in foul trouble he was always like 6-9 or 7-9 shooting a high percentage..

he stays on the floor..we are hard to beat.

Yes he is a stud...and we have seen this before. Bonzi has never had a problem playing basketball at a high level. But please dont call him a low post presence. The Bulls do need a real post player....mabey Aldridge is that guy.

I didnt think to highly of him before the series but then again I hadnt really seen many Bulls games. He plays great defense, both one on one with Shaq and rotating to cut off Wade's penetration. He doesnt have the strength but he knows how to play. Tyson does need to work on his offensive game. You have to remember that he should be rookie in the NBA this year.

I think the series deff goes into 7 games. If the heat take the bulls in 6 then they'll stuggle with a more talented (as of right now cuz the bulls are still incredibly young) and more expierenced Nets team.

HE took Shaq out've 5 games, as in he STOPPED HIM?? You've gotta be ****ing kidding me.

Shaq took himself out've those games, with help from the officials. Foul trouble stopped him, not worthless Tyson Chandler. Chandler may be THE biggest offensive liability in the postseason, and defensively, all he does is flop. He's not the rebounder he was 2-3 years ago where he'd step into a game for 20 minutes and grab 12 boards. Talk about a waste of a $30 million contract! :rolleyes2

So you're going to tell me those charges called against O'neal werent legit? Ah yes, the typical conspiracy.....the NBA was out to get Shaq. He did take Shaq out of the game....put his *** on the bench. You know of a better way to stop the big man? I'm sure the Wallaces up in Detroit would love to hear it.

I'm not even gonna sit here and argue this.

You are the one and only person on earth who I've heard compliment Tyson Chandler on "stopping" Shaquille O'Neal. Not even the Bulls board on RealGM has said anything this foolish. Act like flopping is that hard. It is factual, and Lakers fans who hate Shaq, will tell you the same......because of his size, Shaq sometimes gets called for simply trying to move out of the way. Look & Shaq and look at Tyson Chandler. It's only logical for a ref to give Chandler the leeway when those two bump heads (not literally, duh). All Chandler's gotta do is flop, and he's got it.

Seriously, in Tyson Chandler we're talking about a guy who was in there just to serve as a body and pick up fouls, while trying to get Shaq to pick some up in the process. The guy averaged 4.8 FOULS & 1.8 POINTS/4.5 REBOUNDS per game in this series. Yes, that's more fouls than points & boards for the 7'1 athletic "stud" Tyson Chandler.

You're gonna praise him?? :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

 

[Ferretsquig]

You mean to tell me that the message board community isnt behind me? What a shame. And I was just dying to curry their favor.

I love Shaq, and have watched him his entire career. Hes the only reason I watch the Heat.... That doesnt change the fact that hes been getting away with charges for the past decade. I dont blame him.....they werent calling them fouls so why not just lower the shoulder and bully your way to the basket? Recently they have started to call him for a bunch of offensive fouls, either the swinging elbows or lowered shoulder. If you plant your feet and stay in front of Shaq you are going to get him in foul trouble. However not many players are willing to do that.

Of course if he actually plays basketball like in game 6 nothing is stopping him. As for Chandler just watch and compare one series to the next. Collins/Kristic (if they even dare stick Kristic on Shaq) vs. Chandler.

 

[Buddwalk]

Im looking to watch a great heat/nets series...Im going to stick with my opinion and say nets take it in 7 games
