Power 5

1. Dirk Nash or Steve Nowitzki--is anything more fun than watching Dirk and Steve face off? Well, since I don't have cable, I don't know...but the box scores look good.
2.El Tigre--rattled off a pretty decent streak. I just hope he made some money for all his efforts.
3.High Heat Wash Cycle--thanks to Washington being the weakest team to make the second round in quite some time, everyone is sure Miami is the juggernaut. Be prepared to be flooded with Wade/Shaq articles...meanwhile, Detroit, San Antonio, Phoenix and Dallas could all take Miami out.
4.C-Webb--while some think the injury has ruined him, Webber is back to his original form...wrecking teams in the offseason. Now he's calling a time out on his comments.
5.Golden Bear--don't really care, but golf making 40% of the list makes me look like a well rounded sports fan, eh?

    I agree with you on the Miami Heat. A weak couple of opponents certainly has the Heat overhyped. If Shaq's not at 100% against the Wallace boys, it could get ugly in the next round (of course Detroit still has to get past Indiana).

    How can the Heat be overhyped? They've done a lot of this without the Big Aristotle, and Dwayne Wade is playing like MJ, or Joe Dumars, whoever you prefer. Miami also has all the proper role pieces in place, like Damon Jones, Eddie Jones, Udonis Haslem, Rasual Butler, and the resurrected Alonzo Mourning. I certainly don't see any team in the East stopping them (unless Dumars returns in his prime to suit up and "hold" Wade to 43.), and this team has the balance to threaten whoever comes out of the West.

    And yes, I shoulda kept Nash. He's a stud. I think he's even my wife's favorite player now. Go figure.

    Dude, you can't mess with the Heat! Shaq rested up...Undefeated in the playoffs...and only have to worry about the Pistons/Pacers to advance to the finals. What a JOKE! If you are at all a sports fan, look at the REAL picture here and stop thinking DETROIT! (you had better hope that your coach stays in Detroit, cause he can only coach NOBODY's and win)Look at the last Dream team-He had his best player on the bench-JAMES). Detroit/Indy will win one game of the next round. The Heat will be rested up for the FINALS to face a team that just finished playing a 6 or 7 game round. ITS OVER!!! They understand their roles just like the BULLS did when MJ was playing. And don't forget about the fact that they have the best back up center in the league.....ZO!!! Start thinking about were Phil is going next year....thats the best new drama. And don't worry about WEBBER....he got SCREWED! SACtown could be still in the playoffs he we was still there. Philly will be one of the TOP teams next year! Watch and see!

    orb,

    i don't know what's more disturbing...your fragmented, unsubstantiated arguments, or your refusal to identify yourself.

    webber has always been the poster child of unfulfilled potential and always will be...no matter how often he pretends to growl at people.

    Danny,
    You disappoint me! I except better from you, and hoped that you could see that Webber doesn't suck. PEJA does! The best thing that BIBBY could hope for in the of season is to get traded!

    Ask the ORME! He knows the ORB. Give you a hint....FAMOUS name but not the same COLOR!

    And I am just giving you a hard time...I read your post on MJ...Don't touch MJ! Just kidding. It cool to read your blogs because ORME never writes about sports.

    peace out
    THE_ORB
