Collab for April 20th game against Seattle

Good job guys, thanks.

 

Okay, I'll need your predictions by 12am Thursday.

Just a heads up, I most likely won't get on a computer Thursday, so someone else will have to post the preview again. I'll post my prediction tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

 

If in case I can't post it myself, here is the layout for the preview, you'd have to update the predictions but you won't have to put in the images code for each one...

Trip's Prediction
Although many would like to call the series over, it is anything but. The Mavs are a great team on the road and in a must-win game 3, we might get a battle for the ages. If the Rockets clinch it, they most likely win the series; if the Mavericks do, they have a chance. Expect Nowitzki to finally snap out of his shooting funk, and Michael Finley to lead the Dallas backcourt. However, the Rockets, if they keep up their play in the first two games, should take this one at home.

Rockets 108
Mavericks 100

 

AznxBaller's Prediction

Alright, we've won two games in Dallas so there should be some easy wins in Houston right? Wrong. Although we've got home crowd and a lot of confidence going into this game, it won't be easy. Dallas is still a strong team with arguably the best bench. In this game, they would be going strong at us and basically playing with everything on the line since they wouldn't want to play with a 0-3 on their minds in the fourth game. However, I also definitely think this game is well within our reach. McGrady has been involving teammates and making our team flow much better.

Houston win, 100-98.

Note-In my opinion, Dallas has found a weakness in our team on Monday and might even be exploiting it by playing small ball. However, this is if and only if Avery Johnson figures this out and switches his lineups. And since he didn't do it in the last game, I don't think he will this game.

 

Dan's Prediction
Looks like i'm going to be the bad pessimistic one here, I still can't see us winning, well maybe I can but since my predictions against our team have normally come up with good results i'll stick to it, we're a better team on the road then we are at home and our next two games are home games, I hope the crowd really gets into this since it's our first game at home in the playoffs this year and we really need the support because I really don't think we can hold Dirk to another average game, even though I said the same thing to myself in Game 2, but then again T-Mac has been playing great and it looks like Yao has picked up his performance as well, it's a coin toss this game.

 

Well seems like i'm going to be the one posting it again, no body has really changed anything besides their predictions right? and should I just post it without magnomonkeys predictions?

 

Good job on Game 3. I won't be around for tomorrow's posting of the preview though...

We'll need predictions and if possible, someone can post the preview before noon tomorrow.

Trip's Prediction
The Mavericks are definitely revitalized for this series, and Game 4 could be decisive as to who will win the series. If the Rockets win it, the series is in a much better position to be sealed, but if the Mavs do, they might just go on to win the series. Thus, tomorrow's game will most likely feature huge efforts from both games. If Yao Ming and McGrady can have the type of games they did in Game 2, it'll be much easier for Houston to win but the job has to be done defensively as well. Eliminate Finley and Stackhouse's scoring will be key.

Rockets 102
Mavericks 96

 

Looks like it's Dan's time to shine again...Although only Trip has posted his prediction... I'll post mine in the topic, and when everyone else is ready for their prediction i'll just edit theirs back in...

 

Apologies for not posting my predictions, I will be ready for tommorow's game though.

 

Ok guys, Trip won't be able to post for personal reasons so i'm going to have to post the rest of the previews, school has started for me today so i'm going to have to post the preview the night before the game, so it would be great if you could post your predictions as soon as possible, if not then i'll post it without it and you can just PM me and i'll edit it back in.

 

AznxBaller's Prediction

After winning two away and dropping two back home, the Rockets finds themselves losing momentum in this series. They look to change all that tonight. Watch Van Gundy have his players execute more and find the open man. Dallas the last two games have shut down the role players and have limited McGrady's touches down the stretch so hopefully that changes tonight. If Yao can stay out of trouble, that would help as well since it would give Houston an edge in the paint and an inside presence against the Mavericks' smallball style. I expect McGrady to have another stand out performance, but the question is can the role players do their jobs and contribute? That means Wesley getting out of slump, James attempting reasonable shots, and Barry knocking down threes. But, even if they can't contribute on the offensive end, no matter what they have to play tight defense. If they can do all that, I expect Houston to come out with the win. Too much is just on the line.

Houston win, 98-96.

 

Thanks for posting it early! You really made this easier for me! (That sounded like sarcasm but it wasn't)

 

Alright guys, same as before..get them in as soon as possible and i'll edit it back in if you didn't get it in on time and I had to post it...

 

Once again, same as before, if possible try and make it a lengthy one since it's the final game of the series, but if not..its all good.

 

It was good fun this season you guys..it's too bad it has to come to an end now, well hopefully we'll all still be making previews until the NBA Finals next year!

 

I'm back. Thanks for every one of you's help throughout the season, we as a team and forum have come a long way. Let's hope that next season will only be better. I plan on expanding the team for next season so that everyone's burden would be not as heavy, and so we could divert more energy into actual posting. Who would you guys think be good candidates? I plan on having a tryout around October but there would be certain people I'd just invite.

Exclude durvasa because I've asked him to join before; no reply.

 

Blueracer should definitely be on the list, but other ppl can be whatever or bplld.
