[S.F. CHRON] Warriors might benefit most if Rockets capture top seed

Agreed. We play bad defensive teams very well. It doesn't really matter how good their offense is if their defense is that bad.

 

denver - 100% chance of winning (just pray we get the 1 seed and they get the 8 seed)

 

you don't matchup to the Warriors that's what Dallas tried to do and they got burned. We will get burned also if we try to run and gun with them, probably lose by 20 every game.

You slow the game down vs. the Warriors and force them to play your style, you exploit their weakness on D and on the boards.

If we defeat the Warriors the most important players will be Scola, Landry, and Harris.

 

when i say matchup defensively (and adelman said the same thing), it's to not play deke very much. we still are not going to run unless it's off of a steal/turnover. we will play our game (as we always have). and we're one of the best teams at controlling the pace.

so when we play half-court, i trust our small lineup can switch on EVERYTHING they try to do. when they play half-court, it's mostly isolations anyways and we have very good individual defenders.

 

Ronde Barber wanted the Giants in their play-off game back in January.


Look at where it got the Bucs.

 

They can keep betting on the Rockets ...

Unless they somehow manage to learn how to play defense within the next 4 weeks, that's going to be a very short series.

 

I will take the warriors anyday. No more Jackson.

Baron davis will be a problem for Alston but whatever, they are turnover prone.
