Congrats Houston on earning what amounts to the 4 seed. You guys have had a great season and that streak was a wonder to behold. I never saw the team do that without Yao like they did, but Props to your guys. This has all the makings of another epic series for the two teams. I would be lying if I said I thought the Rox would win, but it's been shown that this Rox team can pull it together and play good ball.
How do you guys think the absence of Rafer will impact the series? I think with a healthy Deron the Jazz would dominate. With Deron noticeably hampered, I think the more Rafer misses the better for the jazz.
As for the Okur clubbing... I am on both sides here. I mean it did appear to be a frustration foul that didn't appear to have the intended target it landed on. I think, and a spurs fan friend of mine concurred, that Oberto flopped and sold it pretty hard. There was no way that should have floored him the way it did. I doubt there will be a suspension and if there were I think it would be unwarranted. The Spurs owned the Jazz and the Jazz were helpless it appeared.
Good luck on this series. I like the banter even when it stings a little bit as long as it doesn't get childish and uncalled for.... so bring it on!
