MIAMI -- Tayshaun Prince was mopping his face with a small hand towel. He patted his forehead. He wiped around his nose. He looked like a skinny man with a cold, or at least one who couldn't stop sweating. This was in the emptying hallways of American Airlines Arena, a full hour after Game 2 had ended Wednesday night, but Prince still seemed to be wafting in the steam of his opponent, Dwyane Wade.
MIAMI -- Oh, so that's Dwyane Wade. That's the guy we've been hearing about up north the way we hear about tropical storms or hurricane damage. And just like those things, you really can't appreciate the power until you're in the middle of it.Suffice it to say, the Pistons are now wet. And a few of their windows have been blown out as well.
Oh, Danny Boy, the hype, the hype is calling you. You're not actually drinking that Kool-Aid, are you? The red, gooey stuff that says your Miami Heat, barely a playoff team last year, is now suddenly championship material? Hey. Dan. I know it's nice to live by the ocean, but don't swallow the seawater. It makes you delirious.Look at my arms. See how far apart they are? That's the distance between the Pistons and New Jersey. Now look at my arms. See how far apart they are? That's the distance between the Pistons and Washington.
