Man if someway we can win tomorrow then I think we can close the deal in Houston. That is a tall order but if we do it I think we match up very well with the Nuggets. maybe better than with Yao. Please don't use this to start trade Yao threads. It is just that Denver doesn't have a Gasol and Carmo is no Kobe. They win by intimidation and that won't work against our Rockets. I think Hayes can handle and annoy Nene. Martin will not intimidate Scola and Artest and Battier will frustrate the hell out of Carmelo. The big problem is Billups but they have to chase Brooks too. SO it is not as big a mismatch as I thought before. Plus we have Landry Lowry and if Wafer shows up. We are a depleted team but we match up better with the Denver Thugs than Dallas or LA IMO. So let us hope for another miracle performance tommorrow and then all is possible.
you're absolutely right. i feel billups is the only mismatch considering he can post our PGs up and he's been playing pretty well this entire playoffs. but melo WILL be shut down. and their big men WILL be shut down. we would beat them in 6 if we do advance, which is a big IF. we have the lakers' total focus now. if we somehow wins tomorrow, OH MY GOD.
i like this team being so relaxed and free. its a change of pace from the stuck up lakers who are acting like they're not sweating the embarrising defeat at the hands of a sub 6 footer just going allen iverson on their a$$
