Maybe Utah preparing to take the underdog approach come playoff time. J. Sloan "Look, our own newspaper is calling these guys a better team". lol I see this as like the girl that speaks and is cordial to other girls when she sees them and the minute they leave she talks about how horrible they look.
seems to me like they don't want to be caught with their pants down if we beat them. they don't want to have people say, "what? houston won? but aren't we the better team?" at least now, they can say that houston was always good, they were just injured. which is fine, because it's true.
good article,,, one mistake though. Vernon Maxwell played 0 minutes in our second playoff championship run. just puttin that out there.
There you go, tied a couple of loose ends into knots for you. Seriously, Utah a great team? They're in the worst division in the conference. They will get abused. I'm calling the series in 5 if we have HCA and 6 if they do. Mike
Rox will beat Utah, then beat Mavs, the final of WC is between Rox and Spus, we will win the champion of WC. After that, we will beat Heats to win the title.
I hate to disrespect Utah but they have almost no playoff experience. We have a bunch of guys who have seen the playoffs (if only the first round) and know what to expect. Not to mention, Tmac, Yao and probably Battier are going to come into the series with something to prove. These guys are so hungry it is going to be scary. I just don't think the Jazz players understand how to turn up the intensity when it comes to the playoffs. Rockets in 6.
