Could be a good night for the Rockets. They get a great test against the Spurs and they're guaranteed a loss by either the Mavs or Blazers. Please beat the Spurs handily. I wanna see the look on Chuck's face when he has to discuss the game afterward.
If we win, best case scenario Chuck says something like "I may be wrong about their record but jumpshooting teams don't win in the playoffs".
I really really really really can't decide if i want the Mavs or blazers to lose... I'm going to go with the blazers right now because I think they will need the win more down the line.
The Blazers play in a horrible division, so they're almost guaranteed a top 4 playoff spot anyways. Might as well root for them to stomp Dallas.
Battle of the first round matchups last year, but reversed. Lot of key players missing from the Spurs due to rest or injuries

The NBA is getting so lax with the flop warnings. I don't remember which game it was but someone flopped so obviously when there was no contact, should have easily been a warning.

Ernie talking out of his ass Saying that Dallas has been playing well since they lost opening night.. They have lost double digit leads to sneak by the teams they have won against.. Please blazers, crush these bastards..
