why make a poll now when things could change in the next 3 days.

[Kori Ellis]

Rockets.

To decrease the Crawford talk and get people talking about something else. The only seed that pretty much hasn't been decided is the 8 seed.

the Crawford story is a huge story, it can't have a day of talk?

No, we've got to get it back to SpursDynasty and his quest for a Golden State-San Antonio playoff matchup.

Honestly, I think GSW has a shot at upsetting Dallas. They play the same type of game which could result in GS stealing a few games and either causing an upset or making that a very tough first round for Dallas.

[ducks]

we have the tp show thread also
and the game thread

[ducks]

it is a little early talking about scola and fa's

Rockets.

And for those who think GS has a chance of upsetting the Mavs...I can see that series being a sweep or over in 5 with a Mavs win.

Despite the Lakers freefall, I actually think they could once again be the surprise team of the West and take the Suns to 6 or 7. They won't win, but they'll be a tough cover I think in the first round. Phil Jackson will definitely have something up his sleeve to contain the Suns...hope Pop watches.

Dallas is going to be in the WCF. The only question is how many total games is it going to take before they get there. The Warriors could win a game or two, as could Utah and Houston. But people, lets not go crazy

don nelson giving dallas the reverse psychology speech but u know don and his book of tricks...

[stretch]

I don't think that Houston beating Utah would be much of an upset at all. Houston will likely have HCA, and are the better team in many people's opinions. And they have a little more playoff experience than the Jazz do.

I'd say that the Lakers have the best shot. They took the Suns to 7 last year, and the Suns still don't play defense. As long as they play the style that they play, any playoff team has a shot at giving them a tough series or even beating them.

Houston as it wouldn't be a big upset.

Probably and I hope to god that the Spurs are waiting there for them.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

GS I have them winning two games if not three.

It's had it's day of talk and everything has been said from "Crawford is an asshole" to "Crawford doesn't like the Spurs". It is getting repetitive and old. The only thing that can happen now is to see if the NBA takes action against Tim Duncan for his comments, and Joey Crawford for the bizarre ejection in a high caliber game. Even if Crawford is dealt with, we probably won't even know or hear about it.

I've never said GS could beat Dallas in a 7 game series. They could take it 7, but not win. They'd make them work for their first round series victory. That's all I've said. But everyone translates that into me thinking GS could beat Dallas.

[SpursDynasty]

Difference between homers and fans confident about their own team: Homers say the other team has no chance in hell (95% of Dallas fans on this forum) Fans confident about their team think their team will win, but think the other team could win as well.

Im pretty sure they will be

[SAtown]

GS 1-4 DAL

LAL 2-4 PHX

DEN 1-4 SA

HOU 4-3 UTAH

If there were to be an upset, it would probably be Houston over Utah.

so who did you vote for then?

DEN 1-4 SA

HOU 4-3 UTAH

If there were to be an upset, it would probably be Houston over Utah.

This looks about right.

[kskonn]

I think the Rockets.

I also think that GS will win one of the first 2 games in Dallas, that will in turn light a fire under dallas and they will win the series in five. I think every game will be fun to watch but I just really don't see GS being a problem for the Mavs, espicially when they game plan for them every game.
