This is a toss-up in my mind so far. Shaq and Kareem will drive each other bats. Nash may have a slight edge over Tiny, but he doesn't have the shooters around him he's used to. He'll have to rely on his own ability to space the floor and give Kareem and Wade room to operate. I don't see Jones staying with Wade, and am inclined to give the nod to Houston's starters. And yet Utah has a more impressive bench, at least defensively.

So let's see some write-ups!
