Yao is a giant, though. Nene really does look like a baby next to Yao. I remember the two matching up. Nene was trying, but Yao was dominant in those days.
They are the best scoring teamin the nba. The thunder are in trouble. I think size is huge in the nba. Biggest problem with the rockets.
I predict we will Durant at the free throw line an in-proportionate amount this whole series. Over and over and over.
They don't have anyone with the size, length or speed to go up against him. Their best bet is a more physical defender, like Artest, but unfortunately they don't have that. Durant is get pass his man every time around.
not sure who to cheer for. I like the thunder. but want denver to win a series, especially if the knicks get knocked out. I mean denver is a classic Cinderella team who lost their best player and a lot of people thought they were done when they lost CA. anyway.....just hope both teams have a good series and no one gets hurt.
I'd take Special K and Big Al - slight advantage Nuggets, IMO. Ibaka's slightly more valuable than Martin, though it's definitely debatable, but Harrington puts Collison to shame off the bench.
although i feel the thunder will win, I want denver to go into the second round. I reckon it would be hilarious if the knicks get knocked out of the playoffs in the 1st round and denver advances. I am sick and tired of all the franchise player talk in the nba. I want to see team basketball.
The Nuggets were hitting everything to start, contested and uncontested. Seems like they've cooled down a bit, and here comes the Thunder.
OKC has the best fans by far, I know that's weird saying this on a Rockets fan website but I'm not gonna be biased and give them credit for being epic.
Thunder bench won it in Denver a few weeks back. Not completely surprised the bench has brought the Thunder back in this game as well.
