    No if they came out with half the intensity, they would end up with a L, because half that intensity level will not get it done.. Yes, I am just fargin with you.:devilwink:

    Not at all. It will be a different story in the playoffs.

    I just have no idea if it will be a fun to read story or a horror story. Only a couple of the guys on the team have played significant minutes in the playoffs. Off the top of my head I can't think of too many guys that played awesome their first time in.

    There is also the chance that some guys who play well in the regular season will suck in the playoffs. I like to call it Cliff Robinson Syndrome. I haven't the slight idea if any current player will come down with this horrible affliction or not. Though I have a feeling that two guys will get a bad case of CRS, Blake and Travis.

    I have nothing to base this on, since neither guy has played many playoff games, but my gut tells me that when push comes to shove they will fail.

    Funny how times change.

    San Antonio is now the least-feared Texas team.

    I think we'd sweep the Spurs, but Houston and Dallas would beat us unless we dump the snailball offense.

    Classic Mixum. The man with the crystal ball.

    I think we could take any team to six games due to the rose garden's prowess. Not sure teams are drooling to come into the rose garden...

    I would start with buying all the requisite baby stuff. Bottles and car-seats and diapers. You know.

    Unfortunately, given the Blazers play lately, there's more chance that Dallas will get the number one seed and we get the eight than vice versa. I don't think this guy is going to get his wish but I don't blame him for dreaming about it!

    If I was any other team, I'd want Portland as well in the first round. We're young and inexperienced when it comes to playoff time, no one knows how we're going to react to it all. That's why HCA will be so important for us to have any chance.
