I doubt the Blazers are even thinking about inexperience right now. They wanna win, and will feed off the fans. If the Blazers can control the tempo, and run it, don't expect Yao to be much of a factor. Btw, did Tim Duncan ever do anything to you for you to hate on him like that? Haha Joel can't run any faster than Yao? Naw I use to kinda like Duncan, but after he got hurt in like 04 he has sucked.

It's not like Joel's gonna be a main offensive threat. Long as everyone else can run, there's no Yao in the middle, if he tries to keep up, he gets tired.

The rest of our guys can run pretty decent, enough to get back...EVERYONE but Miami on this board underestimates Houston.

Dude, anything can happen. I remember last year I picked the Hawks over the C's and they took them to 7. Anything id possible. Including my Pistons pulling the biggest upset of them all ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN DET ARE YOU ON DRUGS. Don't THINK THAT WE ARE THE Mavs of 06-07 they still didn't recover from 06 that lost in finals. This time was just out hussled by Celtics and we fought and won both games against them this year. and the only reason why Hawks EVEN beat the Celtics was because the BOSTON PLAYERS ALL of them TOGETHER was playing for the first time in the playoffs so they didn't know how to take the challenge on road. and if anything can happen why didn't the NUGGETS beat us in rd. 1, instead we blasted them right out of the playoffs with 4-0 SWEEP.

Like he said ANYTHING, that means anything from LA blasting Utah in 4 to Utah winning in 7, these games aren't set in stone based of what seed each team gets and don't bring up the regular season because that doesn't mean anything anymore.

Atlanta almost won because they were athletic as crap, Boston had a whole season together...that's weak. LA lost because Kobe didn't rise up like "the greatest player in the game" should, again don't give me that shit. I think anything CAN happen but the odds of say Detroit beating Cleveland are 1,000,000 to 1.

"I think anything CAN happen but the odds of say Detroit beating Cleveland are 1,000,000 to 1." I'll agree with that. haters, I was being sarcastic. But still 1 million to 1? They know each other well and Pistons have beat them this year. I say we win 2 games but I pray we can pull the biggest upset ever.

Lebron made his name beating DET in the ECF in 06....he has dreams around throwing it down with no regard of human life in the middle of that "Tough Piston Defense." Getcha brooms out, sorry Pistons.

Utah is going to play LA tough, you LA homers can say what you want but Utah is a tough team. I think having Bynum is a none factor unless Okur isn't healthy...Okur will get him off the floor quick with his range. Boozer vs. Odom or Gasol is a favorable match up, AK does a VERY good job of guarding the other teams best wing. Lakers have no answers for Kobe, I could see it going to 7...hell I could see Utah winning.

And you know whats funny? All 3 box scores LAL posted, the Lakers gave up 105 points on average. I know they scored more, but defense wins in the playoffs. Thats why I don't have faith worth a damn for the Lakers.

I'm not being a hater, 1 million to 1 are the same odds of me getting a date with Megan Fox. I still have a chance.

I agree, they choked last year against Boston, they have a lot of talent (not just Kobe) but seems like they a little soft.

IS that why Gasol and Odom abused Utah last year big time in the playoffs and constantly put his ass in foul trouble. cause I know Utah didn't do anything to stop us last year.

Thats why I don't have faith worth a damn for the Lakers. and is that why the Lakers LED in both games against Utah in the 4th quarter and then PERMANENTLY strapped down at the beggining of the 4th giving them no prayer to come back. and maybe you should watch the Lakers more WE HAD OUR FAIR SHARE of Defensive stops or maybe you didn't watch the 2 Celtic Games and 2 Cavs games we played this year.

I've seen about enough of that crap, ZONE IS A BETTER DEFENSIVE SCHEME! In my opinion everyone should run zone, and yeah maybe Jordan didn't face but Lebron does. Quit bitching, Kobe is NOT an all time great that wins titles.
