We're going to play the Warriors in the 2nd round. I will NOT be content with just getting to the 2nd round. It's all about matchups baby. That's why GS will beat Dallas, and that's why San Antonio or Houston could beat GS. Spurs and Rockets are both great defensive teams with an inside presence that the Warriors can't f.ucking stop.
not anymore. the allas mavericks are allowing 101.6 ppg in the playoffs houston is allowing 82 ppg in the playoffs.
i agree if we just make it past the first round i'll be happy and happy for t-mac. i honestly dont expect us to advance to the WCF's.
And the j*zz averaged 101.5 during the season. so we are doing a great job on them. Content to make it to the second round, so its OK if we lose to an 8 seed GS??, with us being the 4?? I'd be content in taking Dallas to 7 or going to the WCF and giving a Phoenix or SA a run for their money in 7 also. The Rockets are damn good, they are just not hitting shots, bottom line.
i'd say we'd have a much better chance against golden state than against dallas, but we struggle to matchup against golden state as well and if they actually beat dallas then that would be a very tough series. it would be another huge mismatch with baron davis eating rafer alive.
wow, thank god there's some people here with actual common sense. thank you to the few people here who realize that the rockets are not only still in good shape -- we probably are in better shape than when we were 2-0.
there is NOOOOO way that we will beat Golden State. they are too quick, will probably triple team Yao and leave our 'shooters' open. and even if they don't triple team, yao will be too tired to run up and down the court for the entire game. as for tmac? who knows. maybe he will be great, but will this be enough? as for our bench, i foresee another brick marathon.
I acutally like our chances in the 2nd round...Dallas is seems to be weakening, while GSW is good team, but they are not really championship team. We match up better with them than the Mavs, do because our defense is more intense and they have no answers for Yao and T-Mac.
We can also put Battier on J-Rich or BD. He have better man-to-man defenders than the Mavs. do. If we meet the Mavs, it will be tough series for both teams, they have no answers for Yao and T-Mac, while we have known for their backcourt.
