Detroit has looked horrible all playoffs long - Dallas would be a decent fav over Miami - if the line is outrageous I will take Dallas to sweep - Miami is an above average team - this is not a championship team - they played nobody and now are playing a team that is impostering as the Pistons - the Mavs beat SA (although not fair and square) and that's enough for me to know Dallas has a championship quality team.

I would like to change my answer, Detroit will be favored, however the title will go to Dallas in 5. I forgot that the finals are 2-3-2 not 2-2-1-1-1.
also on the off chance that it is Miami vs Dallas, there should be no question about it, the opening line on the series will obviously go to Dallas. Even if Phoenix plays against the Heat, the suns will be favored.
It is not that tough a question in my oppinion, look who will get home court and they will be favored. We are to the point with these teams that if they are at home they should be favored in the game thus in my oppinion Miami will not be favored no matter if they play Dallas or PHX. However with all this said I think we will be looking at a Dallas/ Det series with Det favored and Dallas winning in 5, however I think the format makes it alot tougher for Dallas to win it then 2-2-1-1-1. just my oppinion.
Mavericks in 6. Diop/Dampier can do a good job on Shaq and Terry can do a decent job on Wade. However, Miami has no one they can put on Dirk. I guess they will put Haslem on him the majority of the time but Haslem will get torched. Zo would prolly be the best guy to put on Dirk, but that's not saying much.
