That's what will be decided in tonight's Game 6 in Miami. If the Heat close it out tonight, it will be a wasted season and the end of a great run for the Pistons. If Detroit can slow D-Wade as they did in Game 5, most of us would agree that the Heat would be virtually done having to win a Game 7 at the Palace.
I'm going with the Heat to win and advance tonight. I've been on the Pistons' bandwagon all year, and I'm still rooting for them to get to the Finals. I can't have Shaq getting another ring on his own, despite what our local Clipper fan has to say. He (Shaq, not Chris) was such a dick in his divorce with the Lakers that I will curse him until the day he retires. That being said, the Heat play with more energy and desire at home, and the Detroit offense has been so inconsistent, that I just don't see them getting it done.
What about you, care to weigh in with a prediction for tonight? I'm curious to see if y'all still believe that the Pistons can simply "turn it on" when they need to, or if you think they're done this season.
I'm thinking...their done. But thats just me.

I think Shaq has a monster game tonight. Look for him to turn back the clock and try to dominate. If not Miami is toast in Detroit. I think Shaq realizes that this may be his last true shot at an NBA title. Riles will probably be gone next season, Payton is gone, Walker will be older and NOT wiser, J-Will is starting to lose a step and Shaq is entering the twilight of his career.
Wade is on the brink of stardom, but there's so many questions for Miami going into this offseason and they were constructed for the short run and not the long haul.
Miami needs a huge game from Shaq (especially with Wade pulling a late 80's Pippen with yet another mysterious illness). I think the Big Fella comes through and brings Miami to The Finals.

Something tells me Detroit tonight. I just don't see them going out on a Game 6. No way.

This game is frantic! Shaq looking especially active tonight.
Hubie is a monster (in a good way)
