^^^Yup Shaq won't play even close to dominant in regular season, my point about no. 1 seed, and is decline, plus will be rusty in the playoffs. And the Heat have got a lot of FAs who were key roleplayers in last year's playoff push. Plus I honestly think the Pistons will be a better team this year under Saunders-they will still play D the way LB taught them, Darko can develop under Flip and they might actually have a bench. And if Shaq doesn't play at full strength the Cavs will have no problem bouncing them-Wade is a poor man's LeBron, and Z, Hughes and Marshall, maybe Jaric, will overmatch everyone else on the Heat roster. So riding on Shaq's back, with where he is in his career, is very very risky. They will be good, but they have no chance of getting out of the east. Also I think, if they stay intact, Indy could handle them better than anyone else in the east. The top of the east will be rough next year, and I don't think Miami has a shot of coming out of it.
