Marc Stein mention about Tmac being 0-5 in the playoff exit, but not with a better supporting cast now than what he had before. I really can picture Tmac pretty much taking this game to the next level and Yao on the other hand will elevate his game into much more physical game. Rafer,Chuck and Shane are even more better on the defensive end. But i still think that Shane is not shooting enough. GO ROCKETS!
here is a complete rockets series espn site http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2007/series?series=uthhou
Stein's goofy. He picked miami because, well - despite a voluminous amount of meaningless "analysis" - because they are miami. Stupid.
Tim Legler said on ESPN this morning that he sees the Rockets winning this in 7 and going all the way to the Western Conference Finals.
so we gonna beat dallas in 7 too b/c i don't see how the jazz are tougher? my god, tmac will be tired by then. hopefully we'll pull a surprise and dominate. our duo is gonna be LEGENDARY if they dominate through this playoffs ala shaq-kobe a few yrs ago going 15-1.
Fred Carter said the same thing last night on NBA TV. He said the winner of this series will go to the WCF. I don't know if I agree with that. I don't see Utah beating Dallas if they knock us out.
Damn, that Phoenix game had drop the admission price by half. Now everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.
He list Rocket/Jazz game as the least intriguing/wild/watchable series in western. It translates as that Rockets has huge advantage.
Stein does not have a single series going to seven games, which is not realistic. Rox-Jazz, Bulls-Heat and Raps-Nets could easily be decided in a game 7. But I think I would pick the same winning teams except for Miami. Even though I hope Miami makes it to the finals so Yao can kick Shaq's ass.
