Hey i was checking out the polls on ESPN that had been posted about the Rockets and Mavs series...there were a couple of quotes worth mentioning too...especially one idiot..youll figure it out on your own. http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/story?page=thepulse With the Rockets up 2-0, what happens in their series against Dallas? (17,582 votes) 51.4% Rockets win in 4 or 5 games 36.4% Rockets win in 6 or 7 games 12.0% Mavericks win Who is most responsible for Dallas' predicament? (2,673 votes) 56.9% Tracy McGrady 19.9% Dirk Nowitzki 8.0% Mavericks' bench 7.8% Avery Johnson 7.2% Mark Cuban Quotes The Mavs were cooked the minute they started to rely on Keith Van Horn and Jerry Stackhouse. As a Sixers fan, I know not to rely on those two! Ted (Philly) I don't think the Mavs are finished. Who says the Mavs can't go into Houston and get two? Is there such a thing as home-court advantage with a series in the same STATE? Neil (Charleston) I will not take a T-Mac-led team seriously, at least until they get to the Finals. The guy lost 19 in a row last year -- superstars don't allow their teams to lose 19 in a row, no matter how bad the supporting cast is. T-Mac -- and, accordingly, the Rockets -- have a lot of work left to do before I'm climbing on the bandwagon.
Kobe won 3 rings, but him and the lakers finished this season going 2-19, which over a 21 game span is the same as the bookend of that 19 game losing streak that Tracy had.
Majority of people polled give credit where its due. Dallas didn't do it to themselves Tmac and da Rox did ar up 2-0 because we're that good.
