DALLAS, DALLAS, AND DALLAS! I want someone to pound Howard into the floor and slap the smirk off of Terry's face. I have developed a serious dislike for those guys. Dallas is clearly the number one most annoying team. Then beat up on the Spurs and the Suns.
I hope we develop a killer's instinct this year, and <b>crush</b> all the teams we're supposed to. I fear that Yao learned some bad habits from the Francis era, where they played down to the competition. Time for that to stop. And, YES, I want Houston to <b>crush</b> Dallas, especially in the playoffs, and I really hope we get them again. But, I don't want to crush everyone else in the playoffs. I think it would be great for the NBA to have great matchups with teams like San Antonio, Phoenix and in the Finals against Miami or Detroit. It would be great to have the battle of the VanGundy's and Yao/Shaq whatever it is ... I DO want to win, though. I think if we win, but they are great battles, the Rocket's popularity and myth will only grow in this new championship era.
Phoenix, Dallas, San Antonio. In that order. And when we crush San Antonio, maybe we'll finally get some respect.
Sacramento, but that is just because I live in Kings country and my cousins LOVE the Kings. It would also teach them the error of their not-reupping-Cuttino ways. The Warriors, because those are the only games I ever see in person. The Jazz, who I will never stop hating. The Lakers, who I will hate at least as long as Kobe is there. The Mavs, for obvious reasons. The Cavs, schadenfreude is a b****, and so is LeBron. Pretty much everyone else is about equal.
1. Lakers ( I want Yao blocks Kobe) 2. Mavs 3. Pistons ( I dont hate them but will be nice because they are very good) 4. The rest of the NBA
Id like to beat em all. but if i had to pick.... 1. Mavericks 2.Spurs 3.Miami Heat....with yao having big games on shaq 4Suns just cuz i dont like 'em ...i dunno why but i do
