Golden state @ Dallas

[Steel Sun]

What's interesting is that the Warriors most likely will have a rough time against Houston, and have almost no chance against Utah.

It's not over yet Chap.

Can't wait to hear Nellie's Press conference. Very entertaining.

Disagree, Utah is big and slow, think they would have a lot of trouble with gs on the perimter, if gs actually can pull this off.

 

[elindholm]

LOL at Biedrins's free throw.

Dallas has lost 7 of their last 8 playoff games.

 

[PetryJr]

Mavs in 6.

Do you stand by your prediction?

 

[JS22]

GS will get comfortable and lose big in Dallas. But they'll come back and squeak out game 6.

And why is Barkley wearing a Mavs jersey?

Jerry Sloan can outcoach Don Nelson any day--and Utah's defensive philosophy is A LOT different than Dallas. There's a reason that Utah beat the Suns a few times this year.

I thought when Dallas won game 2, he said that Golden State wouldn't win another game.

I really disagree. Yao Ming is useless most of the time in an up-tempo game and he is a 1/3 of their pitiful offense.

Utah will take them far in a series because I think that Boozer could really abuse them inside and Sloan is a great coach. The Jazz may beat them.

I could see GS beating both, they'd beat Houston in 5 or 6, Utah in 7.

I dunno, utah seems a bit off from their early season juggernaut self. If they can get back to where they were they are a team that I predicted would upset dallas (and did) and would give any team fits, but so far going down 0-2 to the rockets and such they just seem at about 75% to me and they need to get going at 100%.

*edit: Though these last 2 games where they caught up they are playing well and regaining their momentum but still not even 90%.

 

[arthurracoon]

wow

great game.

If all that is the case, why make a case for Golden State losing at all? Why not just crown them the NBA champion, since you think nobody can stop them?

Utah killed Houston last night, so I'm not sure why you think they're not playing well.

 

[Folster]

More proof that small ball and run and gun basketball doesn't work in the playoffs.

Well to me houston was never actually that good, and they have started to play like crap imo. There was no excuse for utah to go down 0-2.

 

[TheHopToad]

The Warriors would run Yao off the court just like the Suns do. GSW vs Utah would be a very interesting series.

Either way, if this holds, the Suns will have home court advantage in the WCF if they can get there.

I do think some teams can beat them, but definitely now Houston because they are trash against an up-tempo team. GS is starting to worry me but I feel we could beat them, the Spurs would and I did say Utah has a good chance, but I think we could see GS in the WCF.

Wow great point I never even thought of it like that!

I know my opinion isn't very popular since everyone disagrees with me, but that's ok.

Your 2nd sentence actually is a great, great thing because I believe if Dallas is eliminated we get homecourt throughout the ENTIRE PLAYOFFS, not just the WCF.

Mods you can go ahead and lift the ban on Greensborohill because he won't be around for a long time.

I have to agree, I dont see houston or Utah beating GS if they hold on. I also agree about Utah taking them deep.

But I see GS's potential run ending in the WC finals against us or the Spurs. We can play their game, and do it better than them, and we also have a legit low post presence. The spurs have been one of the few teams to actually slow them down.

GS is looking REALLY good.

 

[Louis]

I picked Dallas to win in 5 after the GS win in game 1. Wow was I wrong.

Anyway here is my attempt at a little photoshop fun

Either Utah or Houston will be tough match up for GS. Anyway it will be interesting series. I'm more concerned about Suns / Spurs match up.
