Man, everything I watch...everything I read....everything on internet...about 95% of them says Mavericks will win the series and will maul the Rockets. No respect at all for our team. People who I use to thought were good commentators and NBA anaylsts predicted that Mavs win, what a bunch of morons. Now with the Rockets winning 2 in a row, I just can't wait to see what they have to say now. Some have already started to jump on the bandwagon and start saying Houston will win. What a bunch of crap, realizing that your opionion stanked, you decide to change it when really the series isn't over, decide to say Rockets are better than they thought. Holla if you feel me. ROCKETS ALL THE WAY BABY!!! ONLY TRUE ROCKETS FAN WILL BELIEVE THAT ROCKETS WILL GO ALL THE WAY!!! I'M A BELIEVER, ARE YOU?
I saw Cold Pizza this morning -- Woody Paige said that and I quote "Houston is not a good team, this series is not over..." He blamed the Mavs loss on their poor defense and of course he had to take a jab at Yao... He said--"The Rockets have a good center but not good enough to shoot 13 out of 14 , the Mavs were playing poor defense." What an idiot!!
How about having the OJ chase interrupt your playoff series... winning two championships and only getting the cover of Sports Illustrated on a regional issue.
Woody Paige is a cartoon character. The Rockets could sweep the Mavs and he would just say the the Mavs blew it. Woody Paige, Skip Bailess, and Steven A. Smith can suck it.
Haha...Man Woody Paige? What can I say? He is like a Stephen A. Smith guy except he doesn't yell it like Stephen, but he is sure full of crap when he speaks about basketball. Next thing you know, when the Rockets win this series, he will say "Well, the Rockets got lucky but Phoenix/Memphis will smoke them cause they're not good enough" and then he will take a cheap shot at Yao again. Woody Paige, what can I say?
I have to say, I'm feeling a lot more confident about a Rockets victory as well, now that we have two in the bag. Standing by one's original MAVS IN 5 prediction would be stupid at this point. But, I feel you. We snuck up on the analysts. They'll probably still favor the opposition in every coming series and we'll just have to keep proving them wrong.
Here's something: Listening to a SoCal sports radio station online (xtrasports570), the Loose Cannons (Steve Hartman and Mycahel Thompson) had Pat Riley on just about five minutes ago. Mychael Thompson (ex Laker) asked Riles if the Heat make it to the Finals, who would he expect to play against. Riles dodged the question of course, but he did say that two teams were really emerging and establishing themselves in Western Conference playoffs. One was the Nuggets, and the other the Houston Rockets!
Paige - “Dallas will win a couple in Houston” Plaschke - “Mavs will still win this series” Idiots...why do I continue to watch this piece of **** show.
honestly, i wouldn't have it any other way. much more fun this way. after we win a few championships, they'll think differently.
Saw that, it makes me respect him alot more than the others cuz at least he admits he was wrong and gives tmac and especially our bench the respect they deserve.
Plashke's response about the Mavs and their road record was just so predictable. Does this guy even watch the games? We completely ripped the heart out of that Dallas team last night. We took their best shot, 67% from 3, most of them highly contested, and we won anyway. We're not even getting any calls at this point. This team is on a mission, and this guy is looking dumber by the day.
After game 1, I heard many national analysts say that Dallas shot the ball bad and won't miss those kinds of shots again. Game 2, Dallas shot over 60% from 3s and over 50 from 2s and outrebounded us by alot and we still won. What's the excuse now?
i live in new york, and i am the only rocket fan i know. at the start of the playoffs i said "i think we can beat the mavs" everyone laughed at me. now all of my friends have become believers for the first time ever and they hate the rockets because they are still raw about our first championship. if knick fans can start to like us and believe in us then i say these so called experts should be able to do the same.
