i'm going with Detroit and San Antonio.

Detroit plays solid and consistent D, sometimes even spectacular. They have a lot of options for where their scoring can come from (Billups, Hamilton, Sheed, Dice, Prince, Ben, they can rotate players on Shaq (Ben, Sheed, Campbell). They're unselfish; they don't get rattled.

San Anotne is a get-it-done kind of team. They can be off all game and then win it in the last 6-8 minutes. I think that will happen in several games - Phoenix will kick ass for 3 quarters and then SA will grind them down in the 4th. Even Steve Nash is going to run out of heroics.

Heat-Spurs

I was beginning to think Detroit could beat Miami but with the Pacers giving them such a tough time and Miami with Wade and now Shaq looking so dominant I think they should win.

I think both series will go 7 games. Its gonna be a hell of a final 4. I couldn't wait til the playoffs got to this point. The last round was such garbage with teams like Washington in it!

Shaq looking so dominant? He may have a big impact on the game because with his presence teams will double-team him and then leave Wade to make his heroics. The Heat have a very good bench, a super-Wade and a Shaq that has more impact on his presence than by his play. Shaq really hasn't been dominant, and remember he has injury problems. Even with a healthy Shaq, Miami would have a hard time against Detroit. Remember who was the center for the Lakers when they stunningly lost last season. Shaq! Detroit knows how to defend him, and since he has yet to be dominant in the playoffs, this Detroit-Miami series will be kinda even and very exciting.

exactly Shaq doesn't have to be as dominant as before because Wade and the rest of the team is so good but like you said his presense and not to mention his 21pts, 10rebs and 3blocks from the Center position giving teams a fit.
