Dear rest of the NBA, Check mate Signed, Rick Adelman Alston McGrady Artest Scola Yao with Battier, Landry, Dorsey, Francis and others off the bench is the best lineup in the NBA easily.
It will be really, really tight. 7-game series tight. PG: Alston: 13 pts 5 assists Fisher: 11 pts 3 assists SG: McGrady: 22 pts, 5 boards, 5 assists Kobe: 28 points 6 boards, 5 assists SF: Artest: 20 pts, 6 boards Odom: 14 pts, 10 boards PF: Scola: 10 pts and 6 boards Gasol: 18 pts and 8 boards C: Yao: 22 pts 11 boards Bynum: 13 pts 10 boards I think the real edge for Houston is off the bench with Landry and Battier though. I just saw Boston wear out Kobe with Ray Allen and James Posey. I envision 2 of the 5 best defenders in the NBA like Artest and Battier doing all of that and some, too.
That's a little different than: I agree, it is really close and will come down to home court like usual. Nice blog write-up tonight, btw.
I was just being an overwhelmed fan in the 1st post. But thanks about the blog. I blogged about this all today, too.
