Who else do the Heat have? Damon Jones? He couldn't get off the bench in Detroit. Billups will use him up. E. Jones? Prince is much better at both ends of the court. Haslem? Heh, heh, you're kidding right?
People bad mouth Detroits bench, but it's mostly because Brown doesn't play them much. McDyess and Arroyo get the job done enough when they're in there. I don't see Miami having an edge there either.

Shaq has indeed something to prove against Detroit now that he is no longer
under the Lakers franchise. Let's put into context that Miami is very much different the from Lakers club. That's the problem last year with L.A., just too many arrogant players who wanted to shine instead of a team game. Miama has evolved to become a solid team overall, from Defense to Offense. This will be a shining moment for Shaq if they wrap this one with overwhelming rout over the defending champions.
