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.

[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]

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

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

not getting there? :p

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.

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.

Manu Hurt.... again.





























.....And David Stern

[iggypop123]

[ginobili's bald spot]

Defense. Injuries.

[pauls931]

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

[JoeTait75]

[IronMexican]

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.
