Dallas will win the championship. Book it, bury it, and then bet your house and life on it. It's a given...

no thanx i still think Heat will go back to back

 

[Panthers_God]

Utah has got Houston EASY!

Okur will out play Yao for sure.
Okur will spread the floor meaning Yao's size wont make such an impact and then Boozer will dominate down low on Chuck Hayes.

Or If they decide to put Yao on Boozer, Okur will shoot the outside shot on whoever defends him ALL DAY!

And we have the best lockdown, recovery and helpside defender in the game Andrei Kirilenko, at best T-Mac will shoot 35% from the field.

And we all know that Skip Alston cant shoot above 40%. And if Skip don't play some D, Deron will have a field day.

And our bench is very strong this year compared to previous year. Matt Harpring, the strongest 2 gaurd in the league, Gordan Giriceck with the automatic outside jumper, Paul Millsap the 110% hustle machine.

If it comes down to the final shot to settle the game we all know who's got that. Derek Fisher baby!

Our team is much more complete than most people give us credit for. Remember when we recruited Boozer and Okur two years back people were saying our offseason signings were EXACTLY what we needed and were giving us a great chance, unfortunately we still had no PG, but know we got D-Will.


The only way I see Houston beating Utah is if their role players step it up bigtime. the like of Battier, Head and Mutumbo. These players will need to produce of else Utah will flog them.

 

[Stonecutter]

Very compelling argument, but i'll stick with Houston. Although I do think it will go to 7 games.

I backed them at $3.75.

I backed them at $3.75.

This series against the Warriors could be a massive upset. Warriors have won 16 out of their last 20 and have record of 3-0 against Dallas this year.

 

[Ridders]

f**k how much of a contrast did t-mac have in the two halves with utah

 

[Stonecutter]

That man is determined to get into the 2nd rnd of the finals. He was 0-6 in the first half then was uncontainable. Not much AK 47 could do.

Yeah I saw that they came with a run into the finals. Don't overly follow it, just had a punt :lol:

 

[El Coconuto]

Who in their right mind puts money on Utah? People got so carried away with Dallas and Phoenix that Houston have silently been going about their business. If anyone's capable of knocking off the big three in the west (Dallas, Phoenix, San An) it's the Rockets...

f**k i love seeing Yao in transition, has to be one of the great sights in the NBA

Hopefully for the San Antones sake your punt is wrong. ;-)

Birmingham just beat Wolves to go top by a point with 2 games to play.
Drogba is 3 goals in front.
