crossing my fingers and knocking on wood while i say it, i think dallas' best chance against miami (who they schooled in the regular season) is that they are alot deeper. dallas can allow wade to go off for 50 if terry harris and howard all get 15 pts. and, i think dirks numbers will make up for shaqs.
of course, that all hinges on them getting there, which won't happen if they get sucked into phoenix's crazy style of b-ball again. i am still pretty hopeful, when dallas played more like that i vividly recall that if you live by the shooting streak you also die by it.
