On paper, it should be Advantage: Detroit, having won a game in Miami, the next 2 in Detroit. But the Pistons have been too inconsistent to say they automatically go up 3-1. It's looking to be a very good series.

There is no way to predict what is going or what should happen. Last year, Detroit struggled to beat a NJ team led by a hobbled Jason Kidd in 7 games, but then played well against Indiana in 6, and were spectacular against L.A in 5. Miami has played great all year, but have a hobbled Shaq. However, they picked up an All Star, Defensive player of the year, and All NBA'er for nothing. Mourning has been a huge addition.
Game 1: If you are a Miami fan, despite Sheed shooting 70% from the field and 80% from downtown (well below his norms) and being outplayed through the first 3 quarters, you still tied up the game in the 4th.
Game 2: If you are a Detroit fan, you can say the despite enduring nearly double digits in turnovers from your PG and shooting 38% for the game, you went into the 4th with a lead.
