There are some hopefuls here just like me. The wishes and the realities of life are totally at the different poles. My take: Heat 4: Wizards 1 (could be a Heat wave though and a sweep) Spurs 4: Sonics 2 (Sonics could be eleminated with 1 win only) Spurs are fantabulous and crisp. Suns 4: Mavs 1 (if Suns play like game 1 then they will char the mavs with 4 to zip) Pistons 4: Pacers 1 Pacers are no match to the speed of Pistons. But Pacers are getting away with lots of fouls.
