If their fans are any indication, the Lakers are probably gonna come out cocky and overconfident... which plays right into the Rockets hands... steal game 1 in LA... protect homecourt, and we win!!!
This will be the story of the first two rounds of our playoff run. A carefully constructed plot by Von Wafer. The Vengeance of Von.
1. Playoff is a different ballgame.....Oh, I mean second round. 2. Both teams have different starting line-up when Rockets lost 4 regular season games if I am right. 3. Rockets is now a more consistent team and has a more consistent starting line-up. 4. The burden of Round one is off their back and the team has nothing to lose. Their motto now is 'All the way to Championship' ánd no more, 'Get out of first Round'.
Once the playoff demon is off their back, Rox players would play like they are possessed under the wings of the God of Basketball and no teams can stand in their way.
It won't me either. And I'm not a rookie. And I actually have good reputation. We'll win because Yao will dominate, we have nothing to lose, and our lineup is now consistent and totally flowing.
