If the Rockets win, who would you rather face: GS or Dallas

Dallas just got crushed in Game 3. I hope you didn't bet your house on it.

 

Golden STate is playing great basketball. They have a lot of shooters, and scorers like J-Rich or Baron Davis. They maybe do not have good center, but i'm worried about them, because they're really good. On the other hand Dallas is really struggling ofensivly, look at Terry's, Nowitzki's and Howard's numbers...

 

Doesn't matter, the Rockets will send one of them home packing in the 2nd round.

 

OP said "IF".

 

On top of that, the people WANTING to play Dallas, that's a little . . . stupid.

It's like the fighters in Ultimate Fighter wanting to fight the other team's best fighter just so they can prove who's got the biggest d¡ck.

We'll play whoever wins IF we win, but let's play a beat up GS.

 

Um, doesn't anyone realize that the only way we could play golden state is if we were the highest remaining seed after the first round? That would mean Dallas, San Antonio, and Phoenix would have to lose.

 

This isn't the NHL:

Really, GS looks more a dangerous team to me. Their speed is nothing we can overcome, they outscore the freaking Suns. Last thing I want is a team that naturally neutralize Yao and Tmac has to beat them all by himself. If we play Mavs, we have 45% chance to advance, if GS, we have 25%...

 

I'd rather face the Mavs, only because if we were to face the Warriors and beat them, alot of people will just say oh they faced an inexperienced team, and thats why the rockets won.

 

oh really... and that "inexperienced team" ONLY beat the number one team in the nba... i want the warriors, It means HOMECOURT advantage if we face the Warriors!

 

Some of you guys in here are dumb, the Warriors do not exactly play like the Suns, just because they run a little fast here and there does not mean they will beat us, the Warriors are a team that drives a lot more than shoots 3 pointers, with Yao in the basket, they will resort to dumb jumpshots all game. They also cannot guard great SGs like Kobe, which is why the Lakers always beat them and they also cannot beat great defence (Spurs) we'd have this series 4-1 if we play the Warriors.

 

The Warriors will neutralize Yao completely....when T-Mac doesn't play. Why? Because the Warriors have no chance at guarding T-Mac's lane pentration with that sorry ass excuse for interior defense of theirs (btw I'm rooting Warriors too, their sorry defense just frustrates me).

They won't have enough man power to double Yao before he makes the catch and T-Mac should take advantage of that if he's not going to be a little pansy and actually drive in as much as he can.

Plus, they're not even as consistent as the Suns. The only way they will win is if the role players vanish like they did in Utah.

But it doesn't matter, I don't mind playing the Mavs. I'm just afraid of their depth...that's all.

 

Trying to drop some knowlegde that you do not have. I you must be a hockey fan but that is not how it works around here.

 

Against Warriors 5 to 6 at most, and maybe a sweep. GSW has no defense against us, since no one on their team can defend Yao or T-Mac.

Against the Mavs in 7 in favor the Mavs, they would win every game in Dallas to beat us.

 

Even if it goes to 7 games and Dallas win, that's a good thing. They wil lalso be so mentally used to seeing small ball, Yao will give them way more trouble.

 

Exactly.

Guys everyone hates dallas, i understand I do too. But SCREW revenge. Going into a 6 or 7 game hard fought series is TERRIBLE. Why not instead play GS, get a 5-6 game much easier series, get our guys rested for Suns or Denver or Spurs (we will need it).

Stop hoping to play Dallas, that is terrible mindset, we DONT have homecourt, and it will be a tough series for no reason.

 

Sorry, my bad. Actually, I think I got that idea from the NFL. Should have checked, though.
