    warriors faced the mavs who were their dream matchup, the Warriors would have lost to any other team in the Playoffs(even the Lakers IMO)

    Don't wanna be a Warrior defender, but did you see their schedule for the first 6 games? And they just got Stephen Jackson back too... would hate to be playing them when they're on a "bounce back" run.

    When Yao is tired like in the last 4 games in 5 days, he is a defensive liability against a small lineup.

    I bet Yao drops another 25 pts minimum on the Warriors.

    Yao is still going to drop 25pts on the Warriors. Your Suns won't be able help the Warriors against Yao.

    Why didnt anyone post a game 3 snapshot. Didnt they render Yao ineffective with the fronting style??? Luther Head went crazy, but Yao had a horrible game.
