I thought about Indy and their rise when they were playing MIA. Although they are a damn good team up front, their guard play is too inconsistent. George Hill aka trey songz made stupid mistake after stupid mistake last year in that series. Lance was the same way. So I definitely put money on our backcourt vs theirs. Now if George moves to the two bc Granger is back that will help them, but not enough overall. We still have a former MVP back there.
We do have a solid defensive 7 footer to match up against Hibbert, so it won't be a cakewalk for him like against MIA. Plus Noah's ability to hit that FT line jumper will pull Hibbert out the lane. Unfortunately I think they get the advantage at PF if Booz is playing D vs West/Scola. Deng vs granger or George could go either way. Deng has those spurts where he proves he is an all star. But he won't allow either one of them to go HAM on us. and that part is consistent.
But we likely don't even have to worry about meeting them in the playoffs. They should be a top four seed along with us heat and nets/knicks.
All I'm hoping for is good health...the rest will work it self out.
CONGRATS CA on the baby!
And we don't even have to steal the PHX staff, lets just copy everything they do. There was some type of frozen chamber I saw on NBA tv and I believe it was grant hill saying that was a big help for him. I can't believe that all this technology is out and we're not using it. hopefully Swanson brings the franchise into the current times so that our players can compete from October to June for the next decade.
