I called the Nuggets before the series started, and my fingers are still crossed. And don't say Dallas is overrated, because they won that many games for a reason. They are stacked and are a great team with a coach that is going to be around for a long time. What you should be chanting is underrated...because thats what the Warriors are. The squad that is on the floor now was hardly together this season. Harrington and Jackson didnt join them till the trade deadline and Davis has been hurt on and off this season I believe...they finished the season something like 9-1 just to make the playoffs. Their defense is stifling, and Don Nelson's gameplan has been masterfull. I really feel like Dallas is getting outcoached...and that isn't a shot at Avery but more a boast about Don. But you gotta face it, Dallas crumbles under pressure, like they did in the Finals last year. They aren't quite tough enough mentally in my mind, but we will see. The series isn't over at all, if Dallas wins the next one they have just as good of a shot to take this series as if it was 0-0 again.

Unfortunately my raptors are struggling (go CB), and the Bulls are annoying and Nocioni can lick my balls, but Deng is a beast and is going to be good in this league. Bye bye LA. Cavs will get whooped by Detroit IF they get past NJ.

If Mavs lose to Golden State, I think Houston wins it all. Print it. Otherwise Mavs win, because Pistons don't realize how much they lost in Big Ben. PHX and SA beat up on each other if they meet, but if it is Nuggets/Suns then its gg Nuggets, and we see the Suns and Houston in a toss up (I am biased cuz I want TMAC to win something, but the suns are a bad matchup for Houston), so when they meet Houston after Yao goes to town on the centerless golden state, they will be too tired to hang with the force that is TMAC.

Just some thoughts.
