I actually think we have a chance to beat the Spurs or Mavericks in the first round (just 5 games) as opposed to the 2nd round. If we could do that then that would be such a confidence builder for the following round that they might then play great basketball. I remember Pat Riley talking about the '86 Rockets and how you could see the realization in their eyes that they could beat the Lakers. It's a mental thing because we certainly do have the talent if not the experience. Any spot in the playoffs is fine for me. We can beat 'em.
It is way early for this talk. But, the roxs could shock the world and finish third. We can definitely beat the Spurs, today and for sure come June. The only team that can play at a higher level (when hitting on all cylinders) is of course Dallas. Western Finals matchup should be Dallas vs. H-Town.
