not so funny that brooks only received 1 vote... i'm actually a little concerned the guy is gonna crumble under the playoff pressure at some point(s)... hopefully adelman will not hesitate to substitute lowry in when necessary...
Actually I think he will perform very well in the playoffs, brooks has played really at times in pressure situations and I think he will step up big time...he was never afraid in the past when it came to big games.
For some reason, I see Landry exploding this postseason. Remember, last year he had a nice few games, especially the huge block to seal the game in Utah - and he was not 100%.
The whole team will step it up. We now have a balance team and each game there will be a different scoring leader. But Yao is still the man.
While your point is true, I wonder if you were joking about Barry. As much as I want the guy to step it up... I don't have high hopes.
Ron seems like he would be a choker in pressure situations because of his belief that he is the GOAT. I hope Adelman plays Wafer a little bit more, hes shown he can score and his defence has improved a lot.
Sad? HECK NO !!! That is opportunity my friend.....Sam Cassell, Mario Elie, Kenny Smith, Robert Horry....it is a chance to be a legend. BRING IT ON !!! Von and Brooks will step it up......imo. DD
It has to be Yao more than anybody imo. The game is much easier for everybody else when he is involved. Even against the teams that front him, he has to find a way to make an impact on the game.
Aaron Brooks and Carl Landry. They were my preseason 'difference makers' prediction and that hasn't changed now heading into the postseason.
I did not vote because I don't think it makes sense to talk about who will contribute more at this time. All we need to focus on is the next game. Plus it is team work.
Where's Battier in that list ? He will definetly step it up like he did last year, he was 7/7 in Game 1, extremely clutch in Game 4 (where he forced the TO, yet the refs ****ed up and cost us the game) and was the only one who fouled hard. Also, if RA is smart, Deke will get some playing time because he can still intimidate the opponent and with playoffs being mainly a half court game, we need as much Deke as we can but that will probably not happen. If he does get a lot of PT, Deke will definetly step it up. I'm sorry but I think Von and AB are going to dissappoint, just a gut feeling..
