What would lead to the downfall of your team in the playoffs?

[djohn2oo8]

For rockets, it would be Ron Ron trying to do everything by himself.:depressed

[balli]

For the Jazz? The opposition.

My serious answer- Carlos Boozer being a no-talent ass clown. As soon as we see someone other than HOU or NOH we're toast.

And road games of course.

[The Franchise]

When he shows up as Dinoboy, and decides to play 1 on 5 you can guarantee a Rockets loss.

Watchin Artest dribble is hideous

[lil_penny]

Youth, inexperience

[dirk4mvp]

Josh Howard throwing a birthday party in the middle of the series and shooting 29%.

Dirk's putting up 26 and 10 regardless, and if Howard can do anything related to his 2006 form, Mavs might actually make a little noise. *


*Unless we're stuck at the 8th seed.

He's crazy. I guess they had to go get him and God only knows where they'd be without him, but all Artest did last year in Sacro was selfishly break plays.

I thought there was an outside shot Adelman could reign him in, but once T-Mac went out, any such notions went out the window.

Health.

I'd like the hear the spurs word on this. I guess I might say defensive execution for them since Pop says they're not playing D as well as in past years.

[Ghazi]

Antoine mutha fuckin Wright

[timvp]

Making some shots your not supposed to make with .4 seconds left on the clocks. Some surprises there.

Obligatory SA arrogance right on time. I kid, I kid. If you meant it, I guess you've earned that right.

I do get the feeling that SA thinks if they're healthy they'll straight up beat anyone. And I don't think that's exactly true, but I damn sure don't discount their chances either. They'll at least scrap with LA more than anyone else will. Anyway, I hope Utah avoids them more than I do any other team, including LA.

I don't know, they have that guy that likes to rub his nipples after making game winning shots.

[DPG21920]

Ghazi. Because even if the Spurs win against the Mavs, the Mavs still win.

[phyzik]

Manu Hurt.... again.





























.....And David Stern :downspin:

[iggypop123]

injuries. if lakers are 100% there isnt anything to worry about

[ginobili's bald spot]

Defense. Injuries.

[pauls931]

Manu is hurt again? Why can't that fucker ever be hurt in the past when they played the suns? :D

Kobe playing like Kobe in the Finals. Or Odom turning into Odumb.

[Kai]

The Jazz.

[timtonymanu]

Tim and Manu both getting hurt
Mason playing backup point guard
Bonner getting owned by other bigs
Finley shooting 2-25 in 3 games.

[aka_USAPA]

I agree. Injuries. I believe they have learned from last year's experience and they are better team. I just want everybody to be healthy so we can see some real basketball. :toast:toast:toast

[JamStone]

For the Pistons, Their downfall in the playoffs would simply be "playing" in the playoffs.

[baseline bum]

injuries

exactly, Yao is simply a shit that cannot contribute anything to his team but making bs shots. Ron Ron actually is the only hope for the rockets in the postseason, without Ron Ron the rockets are actually also a shit just like yao.

I'm glad to see you're not exactly the same as those idiots who have been kissing yao's ass since that shit joined this league even when he sucks. God bless :toast

[m33p0]

losing 4 games in a round.

[DeadlyDynasty]

injuries and only injuries

[Pelicans78]

I'm surprised Spur fans call Fisher's shot flukey when Duncan's shot right before was even more difficult. Both shots were flukey to me.

[Pelicans78]

The Hornets downfall occurred in the offseason when we let Birdman walk, traded our 1st round pick to sign Posey, and was content on letting Mo-Pete start at SG when we should have tried to upgrade.

[Rogue]

son James Posey has already done a great job leading the Hornets to a downfall even before the playoffs come, he is my hero though.

[NBAdime]

not getting there? :p


LOL I concur

Its not that it was fluky, no one can spin around and hit a shot in 0.4 secounds. I could believe a catch and shoot, but spin? obv clock was started late. But yea, its fine, shit happens. Winning a title once in two years is something I can live with. :flag:

I see your point now. I never even thought about the clock. but it's a good point.

You should be asking yourself how did he get a shot off in .04! Everybody and their daddy's knew it had to be a catch and shoot. He should have never got a shot off. That was Manu's man, wasn't it? Thank god you guys got him back! :toast

Get over it, it's History! You should be thinking about this ass whooping the Lakers are going to give the Spurs, this season. :lol
