rockets are 1 loss behind portland for 4th seed again. the west is too damn packed lol. i hope that after the allstar break we either break a good trade or we get our act together to make a very very strong home stretch run. its all about chemistry and hopefully ours develops
the truth has always been clutch, u just win a ring and suddenly every1 sees what u can do pauls been doing this waaaaaay before the celts ever won anything
I would love staying right where we are and facing Portland in the 1st round. We can beat them the easiest IMO.
Their lack of experience in the playoffs will be a plus, but they create mismatch problems similar to Utah. *Deron/Roy (great guard that can break down defenses and makes outside shots if you give them to him. Tough matchup for Rafer, probably have to beset Artest on them for the majority of the time) *Aldridge/Okur (rangy shooters who can rebound and clog the lane. Tough matchup for Scola/Yao/Landry because they can step out and make the perimeter shot) They also have the monster Oden who will clean up alot on the boards and intimidate inside which Utah dont even really have ...
Thirded.Pierce kept them afloat during their tough times.I think he is the only top player out of his class to win an NBA Championship.
Dallas Looses Portland loses Houston now tied with Portland for 4th place....not bad going into the break
