[Self] Playoffs 07 Round 1
The 2 teams who made it into the grand finals last year got kicked out in the first round.
Heat - not much of a shock; Wade is the only person holding that team up, they better restructure fast else his extended contract is a damn waste of his talent. Shaq has outlived his use big mistake dishing out that big fat extension he's more a liability than anything now.
Mavericks - I felt they did at least deserve a conference final but despite their great season they've perpetually faced problems with the Warriors the entire year. Avery Johnson as head coach was great last year but facing up against his mentor Don Nelson he has a bad record. Plus the problem with Mavericks is their entire play is reliant on Nowitski, so if he's cold they're a write off.
Other stuff:
- Blissfully caught Game 6 of Jazz vs Rockets. Yao Ming still sucks most of the time despite improvements - Hakeen he is not; T-Mac is in a sucky team. And until the commentator said so, I had to idea Jerry Sloan has already been coaching the Jazz for 20 years! The game plays are pretty much the same as the Malone-Stockton days but it's interesting to watch Boozer and Kirilenko play, but they need a bit more offensive firepower.
- Spurs are a damn good team still, but not this year :)
- Suns IMHO are not that much a run & gun team this year based on the limited games I've watched, but heck love their lineup and play. They have such a kickass unit in Nash, Marion, Barbosa, Diaw, and Stoudamire. Hope these fellas take the crown this year.
