exactly what I thought. They weren't all that deep to begin with so losing a 30+MPG Big drops them down a notch. Sort of shocked to see the board having them decidedly as the 3rd choice. STOMP
If this was last year, there's no way I pick Dallas. But we've done better against them this year. I think they would represent our best chance to make it out of the 1st. Denver is exactly the kind of team we have a hard time beating. They are physical, scrappy, and constantly attack the rim. The Lakers are too big for us to handle in a 7 game series.
The Dallas team we beat isn't the Dallas team they have now. And the Blazers team that beat them isn't the Blazers team we have now. In otherwords, those two games mean nothing.
