How good are the Warriors? I heard one of the announcers commenting on how slow Yao Ming will look against these guys if the Rockets advance. If they do prove to be a tough mismatch against Houston, and somehow get by them, then they will be going up against either San Antone or Phoenix in the WCF. How crazy would a Phoenix/Golden State series be? Then you could have Detroit coming out of the east to ruin all the fun.
If the Warriors win the next two rounds then they will become a team of destiny and will become America's (and Stern's) favorite to win it all.
I can definitely picture Dirk saying to Cuban: "First of all, I'm not 100% in love with your tone right now."
