In pondering the likelihood of playoff upsets, one must first ponder exactly what constitutes upset. A 5 seed beating a 4, for example, does not necessarily scream upset, particularly since home court skews the whole thing. Division winner Miami is a 4 yet begins its quest for a second straight title on the road, at No. 5 Chicago, so who is, in fact, the underdog?

Dear Annie: Please settle an argument. My daughter is bright, articulate, and ambitious. She is 26 and has worked her way up from an administrative-assistant job to loan officer at a large bank in Miami, and I really believe (okay, maybe I'm biased) that her talents and excellent people skills could take her all the way to the top.

Of course, beyond the palm tree-lined fashion shoots and pop videos, Miami is the same city it always was; a continental crossroads where North America meets Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe and a city flavored by generations of immigrants. But if Miami once had a reputation as a place where millionaires retired to blow their spoils in the sunshine, it's now a place w
