i dont know what it is about the blazers but they are the toughest team each year for the lakers. lake sheaux down 5 at the break and will probably lose with the way they are playing. id rather play many teams ahead of the blazers in the playoffs than them.
if they down 5 and aren't playing well as you say, then that's not bad. that means just play average in the 2nd half and you win it.
My latest rankings: 1) Spurs 2) Lakers 3) Rockets 4) Mavericks 5) Hornets 6) Jazz 7) Warriors 8) Suns 9) Nuggets The Phoenix Suns may not make the playoffs. Mr. Kerr will likely be fired if they don't. Note: I was tempted to put the Rockets at #2. Let's just say they are 2A right now. They made that Denver offense look pretty bad today.
The Suns will get in because of a horrific stretch Denver has coming up that will knock them out of it for good, but they are bye-bye in the 1st round, regardless. And yes, Kerr will be fired, as he deserves to be.
#9 Nuggets beating #1 Spurs by 15 midway in the 4th. Good grief. My new power rankings in the West: 1) Lakers 2) Rockets 3) Spurs 4) Hornets 5) Jazz 6) Warriors 7) Nuggets 8) Mavericks 9) Suns Rockets now just 2 behind in the loss column from Lakers and Spurs.
Lakers looked incredible tonight. The Spurs showed tonight way they might be vulnerable -- they are getting older and their great defense is slacking a bit.
most teams do look great when they play a team that has no Elton Brand, Cassell, Shawn Livingston, etc..
do you think i was factoring that in? i was basing it on chemistry, which has come and gone at times with a new team. it had nothing to do with the score.
ease up, mystro... I was kidding... either the Suns or Mavs is bye-bye. tonight's Spurs game is further prove of how "for real" my Rox are. We just got done dismantling that Nuggets team.
