Any Rockets fans have tickets to games 3 or 4? Im (hopefully) gettin some for game 3 tomorrow. I've never been to a playoff game so I can't wait
Crazy how almost all the analysts are picking Portland over us, I think we are the nighmare matchup for the Blazers. Who knows maybe its because of Portlandsgreat offense and them having LA's number this year that they picked them

Why, because 1.3 seconds were squeezed into the .8 seconds that were on the clock? And that T-Mac blew his defensive assignment?
But that doesn't even matter anymore. We both start fresh at 0-0

Pryzbilla's a solid defender on the block... if he can keep Yao in check, I really like Portland's chances. I love the Blazers' depth as well.

This is a series I will be keeping any eye on.
The blazers are one of those teams that could be scary. They have great depth, loads of talent and B.Roy is a beast that you can count during crunch time.
As a laker fan I don't want to see the blazers in the second round.
Hopefully rockets in 6.

Blazers bigs, since they're traditional big men, will play Yao straight up, ie, not really front him. Guys like Chandler, Gasol, Odom, Okur, etc are agileenough to front Yao. Guys like Priz and Oden will just try to keep Yao from getting position. Dude is too big for that though, and I fully expect Yao to carrythe Rockets.
LA will get his, but he's more of a jumpshooting, back to the basket PF. Scola can hold his own against that. It's guys who put the ball on the floorhe has trouble guarding. On the flipside though, I think LA will have a hard time defending Scola and his 'old man in the gym' game. Scola's up andunder pump fake moves.
The only question marks IMO is how Aaron Brooks will fare. When he's on, he's on and when he's not, he looks lost out there. It's a goodmatchup in Blake though, as he doesn't have to worry much on the defensive end. As opposed to a TP, CP3 or a Deron.
How Aaron Brooks fares and whether or not Ron can play within in the game, instead of going one on five like he likes to do, are the only things I'mworried about for later tonight.
Rockets will take game 1 hopefully, and all the pressure in the world is gonna be on the young Blazers to win game 2. Because if the Rockets get 1 in Portlandit's a wrap in 6 for real. Portland will not be winning in Houston. 33-9 for the year, Houston is at home.
Rip City vs Clutch City
Let's go!

This is going to be a fun series to watch. I'm a Yao fan but I like Portland's style of play and their young team. I can't root for one or theother, just going to enjoy the series as a fan of basketball...best of luck to both squads.

No, that would have been Dallas.
As to the series, Rockets fans are funny. Why don't you all look up Yao's number against the Blazers this season and you will see he is only averaging15 points against them. Anybody that has watched Portland the last few games will tell you they are a different team then they have been all season. Look atPortland, LA and Houstons records since the All-Star break and let me know what you found out. This is not going to be an easy series for either team but getyour facts straight. The game in Portland worst case should have gone to OT because the foul on Yao was BS and there is no way you can call that a"win" for Houston. McMillan only has to plan for one tem for the next 4-7 games and you all know he will have this team ready. I will be there at theGarden nice and early tomorrow pumped as hell for this game.
