    Let's see if Monty Williams takes the Scott Bonehead approach and keeps the exact same lineups and rotations even though Asik is worthless on both ends of the floor. He'll justify it by saying, Asik "sets really good picks".

    What did you guys make of hack-a-andre?

    I thought Monty Williams should have went to the well much earlier especially with Bogut out there.

    I completely agree. That's why they won't get past San Antonio (unless they face us)- and maybe not even Memphis. Houston? We can only hope it's like 1995 where SA swept us in the regular season and we beat them in 6 in the WCF.

    the bad thing about the rockets chances are that they only have one unstoppable player. I don't trust josh smith as far as I can throw him. he's a very, me me me player, plus he don't seem to care about improving his free throw shooting but he'll launch 5 threes in a game.

    the rockets are in a catch 22, because the best defensive team you guys can field is able the worst free throw team. And I am really not trying to bait you into anything.

    The rockets really really need a great wing creator on your team, otherwise, in the playoffs, it's going to be harden vs the world.

    Oh you were being serious!? I thought you were trolling me because I said Curry's wife looks like they were related.

    Shaun Livingston is going to be a weakness for the Warriors.

    A jump shooting team like the Warriors is going to struggle at some point in the playoffs. They will struggle against a team that brings it defensively and can play in the paint. I think the Spurs would win a series with them but I also think the Rockets would have much better shot than people give them.

    I can't wait to hear the shocked voices of pundits when New Orleans steals Game 2.

    New Orleans can definitely take 1 or 2 games. I'd even say they could've won had Davis not been so jittery in the 1st three quarters. Let's hope Monty adjusts: Asik and maybe even Tyreke off the bench who could be a scoring punch. Jumping shooting teams indeed will struggle, that's why for us but also for the Warriors it's imperative they give their big guys easy looks.

    coaches have far more things to take into account than a perceived lineup change that will benefit his team.

    one thing trickles down to another. there is no way monty williams is going to abandon his style of play after 1 game because pundits think it will improve his chances of winning.

    I don't know any coach that would do that willingly.

    Tyreke is injured so he will probably be forced to change that. Who are you to say what a coach or cannot do? Sure he has to take things into account, but you act like a line-up change is far fetched which is not the case. LOL where did you get the notion from that I think Monty will change things because of 'pundits'. He is smart, he knows what happened in game 1 and will maybe have the guts to make adjustments when he feels are needed.
