ESPN keep on saying we can not win.....I am sick of it....

If espn says it ... It's a good thing then

 

Who the heck cares WTF BSPN says?!?

 

Well, they need to prove they can win a playoff series first. It doesn't happen very often in this city.

 

Stephen A is a ****ing clown.

 

ESPN, the S must stand for Suck.

 

Don't be butthurt about somebody's opinion disagreeing with yours. C'mon now...

 

Of course they're going to say that, I wouldn't expect anything less than that.

How many of these idiots had Houston beating NY for the Championship?

 

ESPN is unwatchable unless it's national NBA games or NASCAR. Their NASCAR coverage kind of sucks too, though.

 

stop watching first take right now

 

Portland can play defense AND they have guys that can guard Dwight? Since when?

 

I never want to watch a show with Stephen A Smith in it. Things that come out of his mouth are full of plasphemy.

 

That's funny, but wrong. You can see all the athletes cringe because they all know sports is a fraternity and what a hard decision one of their brothers had to make when he left LA.

 

Those two hate dwight for leaving Los Angeles… don't worry about it.

 

You can tell the don't pay attention to this team. Referencing the Asik situatiation as if it's even been an issue the past couple months.

 

You want the "Nobody Believes In US" mojo. Good stuff

 

As much as I despise that show, it's not like what they said is crazy. Portland is capable of beating us and if you don't think that, you might be in for a rude surprise. In the end I think we'll win, but nothing will surprise me.

 

Stephen A and Skip are clowns but I don't really see anything wrong with what they said today. I agree that we are favored but Portland is more than capable of winning.... especially (like Stephen A said) if Dwight doesn't dominate the paint defensively which he should. They have two really dominant All-Stars as well that are capable of taking over a game.

I mean this is the moment where Dwight coming to Houston either is validated, or not... at least in the eyes of the national perception, and somewhat to Houston (even though I think he's been great thus far regardless).

The national perception really doesn't matter, but look at what happened to Lebron's overall praise nationally when he over came the doubters in the post season two years ago. If Dwight uses that as motivation or anything else as motivation that we should be in for a show this post season. If Dwight isn't mentally engaged than yes, the Rockets could get upset early in the playoffs.

 

I'm sick of it!

Unless the Rockets actually do lose.

In which case...fire McHale and trade everybody!
