What does everyone think of guaranteeing victories? Paul did it(although he was right eventually). I don't like it because it gives the other team another reason to be motivated = locker room material. I guess it is OK if you can back it up, but if you don't, it makes you look like a fool.
Anyone remember how the Lakers had all those balloons up in the rafters and Bill Russell told his team we are not going to let those balloons rain down us - they will have to take them down one by one.
