Shaq to the Heat (the favorites?)

[Ralph Wiggum]

Are the Heat the favorites is the East (or NBA) now?

Comparisons to 03-04 Lakers:
1) Eddie Jones and Dwayne Wade is a better backcourt than Crazy 8 & the Glove (or Fish) right?
2) Both teams have no benches
3) Both teams have no forwards
4) Heat have a motivated slimmer Shaq?

1. No way. Kobe is one of the greatest players ever. Not even close, even though I do like Wade's game a lot.

2.Rush was/is better than anyone on the Heat's bench, although I'll admit that both teams were terrible in this area.

3.I thnk you underestaimate a healthy Karl Malone, even at this age.

4. /images/graemlins/confused.gif /images/graemlins/confused.gif /images/graemlins/confused.gif slimmer? Says who? Motivated? Don't most players get motivated before they get a new contract, then get complacent once they get the big deal?
