    thanks for the good series. Very classy fans giving Deke the standing ovation. Respectable players, only a couple flops not bad. Portland will have one of the best teams in a couple years.
    We've paid our dues though and deserve it.

    Everyone but Oden, I agree.

    Boy, did Brandon Roy make me hate JVG for that meaningless win.

    I said it in a different thread....

    Brandon Roy may finally get some of the respect he deserves... I would say he is probably the most underrated player in the NBA right now. The guy can do just about everything....

    Some of their players frustrated me at times, but they were complete class after the game. Best of luck to them in the future!

    I'm damn glad we don't have to play them again. Can't say fairer than that!

    Agree, can't fault these guys except that they were our foes this round. Their future is scary.

    I just sent the guys at Blazersedge the following email.

    [rquoter]Hi I'm a Clutchfan, screen name Rocketsjudoka, and my hats off to the Blazers and a very hard fought series. I know since y'all are true fans that this is little consolation but the Blazers are a great team who played great and if not for a few different bounces of the ball it might easily be you advancing. If things had worked out differently I would gladly have rooted for the Blazers in the next series.



    It was a great series and if you keep your nucleus together you are going to be a team to be reckoned with years to come. I can honestly say as a Rockets fan I hope we don't have to play you in the playoff next year.



    Thank you Blazers for giving your best and thank you Portland fans for your class especially giving the standing O to Dikembe.



    Go Rockets and GO Blazers.

    Just watched the press conference of Coach McMillian and Roy. These gentelmen have my utmost respect.

    Brandon Roy is going to be one of the few top tier players in this league for many years.

    Major props to the Blazers. Brandon Roy has become one of my favorite players. I like his calm demeanor, he has that silent bravado that speaks volume, and a silent confidence that says I'm a bad mutha******.

    We've paid out dues, and it was our turn. I'll definetely follow the Blazers more, and wish them luck in the futur (unless, it isnt against us of course).

    Don't know about this. I hated Dallas when they eliminated Houston... then Utah twice... really really really hated them so I'm guessing they hate Houston just the same.

    Can't help but admire the talent Roy and Aldridge though. Didn't know they were that good until this series.

    blazers are going to be in championship contention in 4-5 years. Brandon Roy has a chance to surpass kobe.

    after the series im really starting to like portland. I wouldnt mind if we see them again.

    ps: f*** Oden, absolutely trash any way you look at him. hes like the only one on portland that i really hate. hope he breaks something again and retire

    My Uncle lives in Portland and I told him I wish the playoffs were Rockets vs Portland (but I thought for sure we'd have HCA). They are fun to watch and were very nice after today's game. I felt bad for Oden messing up so much, but Pussbilla can go suck one.
