Yea and i think some of their wins are more like fluke. Like the Horry shot against the Kings because Lakers got a lucky bounce rebound.
You open a post with these words: "Here's the scary scenerio" and then claim not to be scared of the Jazz of in another post. That's whats funny to me. We have all of these "the sky is falling" if we face the Jazz posters out there and everytime someone calls them on it and say they are afraid they deny it. My advise is to either to man up and quit whining or choose your words more carefully. We are playing for the #2 seed in the West and if you can't get excited about that because you are concerned about a particular matchup, then you ARE afraid.
Well...psychologically, the Jazz do affect us because they tend to play tough...but you have to admit, they're not any better than the Rockets. The series could have gone either way. I think their wins are fluke. But if we can pick another team to play rather than the Jazz, of course we want a different team because first of all, we're psychologically affect by those close loss and 2nd, the Jazz's "feel good" factor has that advantage. But we're not scared of them by any mean because as i said the series could have gone either way. They're not blowing us out. Plus, Yao wasn't there in the 2nd series. So, when i used the term "scary scenario," it was meant meeting them again for the 3rd time and we're tired of seeing them over and over ....it has nothing to do with that they're a better team.
What's HILARIOUS is if we get past the first round we'll probably play the Lakers in the 2nd, and ONLY because the refs gave the Spurs the game the other night, which they now admit was wrong. Watch, it will ultimately be exactly what happens, and NO ONE will be saying ANYTHING about it, and I guarantee if you asked any Spur about it they'd be like, "Oh I don't know about that, a lot of things went into the playoff seeding." What's more, the Rockets probably have no clue about this.
Facing the Jazz WILL be tough. Because in paper maybe we are better, but they will have the extra belief in them that they can beat us just like the previous couple of playoffs. They'll be extra motivated that they can do the job. More like a psychology thing. The schedule that NBA made towards the end of the season is just pure drama. All teams will face their rivals in their last several games. Its just going to the wire now. Denver vs Portland NO vs San Antonio Houston vs Dallas Utah vs LAL it just can't get any better than that. And except for Lakers, all of the other team seedings can change after that. Just wow..
forget about the Jazz. the most important thing is to win on Wednesday. Stay in 2nd or 3rd and give the team the best chance to get to WCF.
Great video. I wish it was kind of longer though, with more flashy dunks of our young guys! Von Wafer reverse dunk. Yao dunk on Garnett's face. Artest on Cav's(you put that in). Landry dunking on everything. And of course... Barry to Brooks for the alllllleeeey-ooopp! Hope someone can make a video of all those beautiful highlights, I wish I could..
Very nice video.... I would have ended on one of the drum beats with the Wafer reversal and a close up shot of him YELLING with glee !!!!! DD
NO is the best playoff opponent, and then hope Nuggets steal a win at Portland. So we are the 3rd place(I dont think is necessary to get the 2nd place), No is the 6th.
I don't care if we are 2 or 3, all I care about is not having to face the Jazz in the first round. We all need to kneel and pray to the basketball gods for LA to win tonight. If they do, problem solved. If not, Wednesday will be the most stressful day of the season.
There's nothing to worry about. If Jazz does beat Lakers, we will lose Mavs on purpose. They want to win to avoid Lakers, we want to lose to avoid Jazz. It's just that simple.
Thanks for the info. I'm not just saying it because of the Jazz implications, but I do think the home team owes the ticket goers a good show.
