I don't know what to make of this finals match-up. Neither of us have lost at home all season. When we met earlier this season, I won pretty easily at my place with both playing the same attitude, but his best player was injured and I was completely healthy, so taking anything from that game is pointless. Walker's team is pretty well balanced and only one of my guards would be able to crack his back court rotation. My team is obviously built for an inside game and both of his starting bigs would come off the bench on my team. I finally have 3 guards that can start in d2, but how do I feel comfortable benching a 100k per week big. In the finals, should it matter how uncomfortable I am? Out of the 15 or so players between the two of our teams that is expected to get real minutes this series, only one has form less then strong. Both of us are coming in completely healthy and in near perfect form. The HCA should swing the series to Wiggles in a close 3 game series, but injuries and foul trouble, if they happen, will alter the outcome. Neither of us is deep enough to overcome the loss of a starter to injury, but in the finals, teams are good enough that nobody should.
No matter what happens, the only thing I can predict with certainty is that whomever losses the series will piss off 7 other teams that have to see one of us twice next season.
