The key to beating the Lakers is simple. They dont really have anybody that can guard Yao. Paul is to soft and Mbenga has proven ineffective in the past. Derek Fisher is to slow for the Lowry and Brooks tandem creating problems. That leaves Kobe to be guarded by either Shane or Ron and the person not guarding Kobe gets Odom. I dont know why people are so afraid of the Lakers. They are over hyped and look good because Pheonix cant play defense. We matchup well with the Lakeshow.
We have the fifth-best record against top 10 teams with largest net points http://www.82games.com/0809/TPSORT14.HTM Meanwhile,We have the forth-best record against top 10 teams with best W/L record http://www.sentii.com/nba/stats/team-win-lose-profile.aspx So,Can i say rox is a playoff team this year?
This just about owns its own thread. Well said! Lakers are barely easy...Nick Van Fischer anyone? Oh yeah, knee jerkin overconfident homestand cookin. Bring L.A. on!
jesus christ, we win a few games and now we're world beaters. Watch out when we actually lose a game. It will be pandemonium in here. I'm all for optimism but maybe acting a little more humble is the way to go.
