NBA playoff match-ups

Who's got the advantage at each position all break it down the way i see it :).

Center spot
The Heat have Shaq and Mourning and the Mavs have Dampier and Diop. This one isn't tough the Heat have the advantage here the Mav's have some guys that can body up with Shaq but thats about it. Look for the Heat to dominate down low at the center position. Shaq and Zo know they don't have a lot more attempts to win titles so they will give everything they got to get the job done.

Forward spot
Mavs have Adrian Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard, and Keith Van Horn the Heat have Udonis Haslem, Antoine Walker, and James Posey. This one goes to the Mavs with having Dirk one of the top players in the game and he can't shoot anywhere from the floor. All three of the Heat forwards will get a chance to slow down DIrk. I think Posey will do the best at slowing him down he moves the best.

Gaurd spot
Jason Williams, Gary Payton, Dwayne Wade and Shandon Anderson against Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse, Marquis Daniels, and Devin Harris. I have to go with the Heat in these match ups to they have Dwayne Wade who is gonna stop Wade for the Mavs? NOBODY. Will Jason WIlliams play like he did in game 6? No but he will be solid and Gary Payton will play good defense. Stackhouse and Terry have to have huge series for the Mavs to win.

Coaching
Avery Johnson and Del Harris for the Mavs and Pat Riley. Again the Heat have the advantage here Pat Riley is one of the best NBA coaches of all time. Avery Johnson was coach of the year and is a good coach but Riley is hands down the better coach. Coaching will be huge in this series when it comes down to playing the match up game.

I will take the Heat in SIX games
