1. No.
2. Oops. I did misread that. My bad. Although i'm unsure if you were being sarcastic when you say "detroit would have won either way"...if you were than my bad.
3. Wade was healthy for 5 games yes but lets face it - that doesn't matter unless the Heat finished them off in 5.
As for Shaq, he was a strange case in the series. I think his stats flattered his play to be honest. He got off to the hot starts in the first quarters but his play would tail off badly was the game wore on. He didn't have nearly the lift that he normally does, particularly on his little baby hook. And another good example was on the late dunk attempt in tonight's game. A healthy Shaq puts that in easily for the possible 3 point play, instead he gets fouled and has to go to the line instead. He did have a strong game 7 however. If you want to point fingers on the Heat bench I think you have to look squarely in the direction of Damon Jones. 1 point. That's awful. He needed to step up and instead he fell apart. Horrible tonight.
