    I don't know if the Spazz winning a series vs. Houston would be considered an "upset." A 4 vs. 5 series like that is usually pretty evenly matched. Perhaps a 7 game grind would open some eyes to Utah's worthiness as an opponent to the rest in the west... But an upset is more reserved for a 1 vs. 8, or 2 vs. 7 I would think.

    Something I am counting on in the first round for Dallas. :D

    Right now though, Houston and Utah are on about the same speed...

    What I am hoping for is an old fashioned Utah beating like the days of folklore... when Houston would win in a 4 to 1 fashion, or even a sweep would do. ;)

    As well as the Jazz are playing right now, I believe we'll still come out victorious in the playoffs. Boozer has been their Gibraltar all season but I think our Hayes/Howard combination can contain him to a certain extent. It's all about how our guards do against Deron.

    yeah im REALLY hoping that we can beat Utah in 4-5 games, and the Mavs get to about 6-7 games. we need all the help we can get with the Mavs. but the chances of both of those things happening at the same time is slim to none.

    here is to hoping*******************************

    I would honestly be upset if the Mavs got upset in the first round. Make no mistake about it, I want Dallas. I want revenge. I want to see the crushed look on their smug-ass faces when they realize that their false sense of entitlement was, like the rest of their pointless lives, just a Gadsbyatic facade. I want to see them vividly experience each blatant level of coping. Denial, fear, anger, blame, everything. I want their children to cry.

    Who is with me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Sorry.

    I haven't seen anyone not showing respect to the Rockets opponents.

    I doubt that. The Rockets are a better defensive team and if the Rockets get to the WCF that means the Rockets are playing great basketball.

    To bad they won't be facing Utah in the 2nd round.
