    I am very scared at the fact that if we don't win this one we may be facing another first-round exit after a 3-1 start to a series. Let's take this one.

    Pretty much a must-win, but which playoff game isn't?

    The only thing scarier than being up 3-2 is being up 3-0... because then, if you don't win Game 4, you're put in a position where you have to win Game 5 or your backs are to the wall for Game 6 because Game 7 is over already.

    I hope the Rockets win, I don't want to give out my predictions because I am a superstitious type of person.

    Anyways, Our role players should and need to step up. That is the point of having homecourt advantage in the playoffs. Most role players tend to have sub-par games on the road instead of at home. Role players usually play there best basketball at home in the playoffs.

    Our role players played terrible last night, The only guys who came to play was Yao Ming and Luis Scola. We saw what our role players did in Game 3 and 4 and they did a hell of a job. Especially in the 4th quarter in Game 4. Kyle Lowry and Carl Landry were amazing in that game. They looked lousy last night though. Let's hope we are motivated, hyper, and ready to win Game 6.

    GO ROCKETS!

    Blow out by 40 points. But again Artest + Yao combine for less than 20 points. Who does the shooting? You'll see.

    Too hard to tell, this team still has no identity and is inconsistent as hell. We even got lucky in game 3 & 4 and after game 5, the Blazers are confident as hell so again it's going to come down to the 4th quarter. Since the Rockets haven't been exactly Clutch I'm calling this Choke City and we will lose:

    Blazers 96-92

    Will we be able to get Yao the ball early in the shot clock? That's the key. If so, he'll either get a good shot, or pass to someone open out of the double team. If not, we're left hoping Blazers miss enough and Brooks and Artest somehow regain their shooting touch.

    The problem is no one is capable of passing the ball to Yao except for T-Mac, but he will be sitting on the bench.
