    I'm not just saying this, but it may be better for us to start the series on the road. I think Houston is much more seasoned as a playoff team than are we, and I could see us getting our doors blown off in game one before we find our playoff footing. I think on the road, we can win game two.

    Are they really though? LA has three series under his belt. Mo has quite a bit of experience. Houston isn't that seasoned if you really look at their roster. It's not at all like that series in 2008 when they had a ton of old vets.

    You make a fair point. I may have to rethink my position.

    I think I was focusing on Howard, as a guy who had carried teams in the playoffs before. You're right about LA, Mo and Dorrell.

    So, adjusting my point of view, we may be able to steal Game One before they adjust. :biglaugh: :ghoti: (someone needs to create a "homer" smiley named :mags: )

    Both Howard and Harden have progressed in the Playoffs - all the way to the Finals. If anybody on our team has won a Playoff series it's Mo, and that's it (was he on the CLE LBJ teams?).
    So, their big two have winning experience in the Playoffs - none of our core players have that.

    For years, I felt like I was a chump rooting for a group of a-holes who were being marketed to me in the slickest way possible. Perhaps I'm being fooled again, but I love this team. They seem not only likable, but that they like each other. It's refreshing.

    That was great. I bet he's the mouthy little brother of the team.
