I have mixed feelings of about the Heat. Hate Shaq, love D-Wade, Jason Williams is racist, Antoine Walker is underappreciated. Don't like Payton.
I like the Mavs. Like Dirk, like Terry, like Avery most of all, like Stackhouse, like Howard, even like Dampier. Like the whole team, pretty much.
That being said, I still voted the Heat to win. In any close matchup, I'd go with the side that has Shaq and Dwyane Wade. But this will be a hotly-contested playoff matchup bound for at least 6 or 7 games. And since the Mavs have home court, things get even more interesting.
