Great. Now who's going to get our celebratory series-clinching monster dunk in garbage time?

 

The Mavs are old and slow, except maybe Ellis. The Rockets should sweep them, but McHale will have them lose a game or two.

 

support coach or G.T.F.O.

Barkley not being on our side can only be a good sign.

 

I picked the Rockets win in 5, but I disagree with some of your picks,
Jet <<< Rando
Harden >>> Ellis
Ariza = Parsons
Brewer > Aminu
Howard>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tyson.

The only thing could cause the Rockets is if Mavs starts sending Howard, Smith, etc to FT line.

That's because they are playing the Rockets. He would have said that about the Pelicans if they were our opponent. I refuse to listen to TNT and Barkley during the playoffs.

 

No surprise, Marc Spears puts the Rockets on 'upset alert'.

"I'm not sold on Houston. ... If they could go in there and punch Houston in the mouth, I'm not sure how mentally strong they are..."

embrace the hate.

all the haters look like idiots, which they are.

Most of the people saying we will be upset in the 1st round had us not making the playoffs this season or finishing 8th at best....

they don't know sh&t... all they know is hate.

 

The media will downplay Houston until we give them a reason not to. I honestly don't blame them.

Get it done in the playoffs and they will respect the Rockets. As long as we don't, we don't deserve respect.

 

Who is this guy? And did he poll 13 high ranked houston executives to get his data? I don't hear anyone in Houston crowning the rockets.

 

Because every team's fans who make the playoffs don't believe they can win the title..

What does it take to get a journalism degree nowadays? Cuban Dickriding 101 must be a prerequisite.

 

:grin: Mavs beat writer

 

LOL! had me fall out my chair :grin:

 

lmao

so this guy is the spokesperson for all Houstonians

 

So basically... Morey and no one else? :grin:

 

Very few people here in Houston are spouting off like that. This guy is one of Cuban's paid propaganda bloggers ("can you type? can you spell? you're hired") just trying to fire up the home team.

 

Since Dwain Price get journalism degree as prize in Capn Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch box, maybe he should close his yap..Houstonians believe Dwain Price like Mark Cuban's reach-arounds.
