    This could be a blowout loss if we are not careful.

    The Rockets have to come out energized and play hard nosed defense.

    And make their FTs.

    Establish the lead in the 1st half, this could be a blowout there after. Finish this series off so we can rest and prepare for Lakers.

    Wow.... I'm a little iffy about this game, but if we can take this.. We're finally out of the first round in a long time!!!!! :D

    I think we need to continue to get the ball to Yao like we did in Game 4.. and keep up the same defense that we did in that 4th quarter. I think the rebounding will be the key of the game though, the second chance points margin in game 4 won it for us because we offensive rebounded the basketball, if we can do that again, I think we have a chance to win in Portland. GO ROCKETS!!!!!

    If i was Blzers head coach i would use Rudy Fernandez more. I'd give him more PT, i think he is great.

    i dont know its just been so long

    so unfamiliar lately

    i mean i dont even know what i would do if the rockets win tomorrow.

    i know its not a championship but its a least finally a start, a step back in that direction. cry? maybe that just may happen.

    this game is a absolute MUST win for the Rockets

    This game has the potential of getting ugly for the Blazers. If they come out and are too tight and missing their open shots early, it could turn out like game 1. Houston will bring their consistent effort. The defense needs to be more like the games in Houston. Don't give up any 30 point quarters or a 50 point half.
