Spurs break out the broom again

 

[CHETOLONGHORN]

SPURS REPEAT

 

[beencounting]

with Yao and Rafer out, or even with them, the Rockets do not match up well with Utah. From what I saw last night, Utah will sweep Houston . Jazz play an exceptional defense, dominated the glass and are unbeatable in Utah.

Lakers will present more problems for Utah since they have more talented length to battle AK47 and his group of forwards. Odom, Gason and Kobe present 3 potential 25+ pts on any given night which is something Houston does not have. Utah's defense won't be that effective vs. LA.

Lakers Spurs for the WCF.

Lakers Celtics or Spurs Celtics for the Finals.

This has become the best season of the decade, maybe ever.

 

[ballrific]

yeah, I'm a Rockets fans and I'm expecting the jazz to take it in 4 or 5. They look like **** against them, always. i guess mcgrady just has bad luck b/c he plays well in the playoffs or he just might be a curse, I can't decide.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

if we lose game two that might happen. Better win game 2.

 

[TheContractor]

Another Rockets fan,
and its not bad luck for Tracy, he is not a NBA superstar for the last 3 yrs. He is a good player and has good/great games but the nba is trying to make him into a star, which he is not. I like the fact that he likes to take the big shot but he his desire for the 20 footer at the end of games will lead to more losing.

i did not even see the game yesterday, other obligations, but i dont need to see it. Utah will beat Houston, especially without Rafer. TMac canNOT carry a team.

 

[Michael Knight]

Spurs in 16

 

[YChang]

Yeah...we don't match up well with Utah...if the team shoots 30% or some crap again...sweep.
