Oddly enough I thought the Wolves were the weakest of the four. I still don't understand why so many took them over GSW.
I'm with you on the above Who! Lol
Anyways. A combination of a healthy Howard and rose is lethal. I'm assuming for them to make it this far means both are 100%.
Who really defends Dwight in the fourth bc DJ doesn't play at the end of games. Not Ibaka or James.
I see two top five players vs one here. I also see Ben Gordon as a major player here. He's had to have been playing well to make the WCF.
We have seen first hand how good Gordon and rose are together. Remember 2009?! 7 game series?
I hate Ellis on Gordon. Hate it! Gordon will destroy him running him off curls and screens. Since his days at UCONN Gordon has shown he plays excellent on big stages. When the bulls were in the playoffs he was always the go to guy and closer. He just hasn't been in relevant games the last few years and thus I think he's become disinterested. He's already getting paid. I think that's his attitude and while I think it's bad, I think it changes in May.
Rose and Howard are a tremendous 1 and 2 punch. Gordon in the playoffs is a great compliment to both and a good third option.
I like OKC.
Also based on the 10-9 vote against GS I have no choice but to assume Lebron just went through an epic and grueling 7 game series against Rondo, Big Roy, and Aldridge. Now you're asking him to overcome Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard on top of that?
Don't see him doing that.
