    Well, you can not dwell too long on failure or you will not succeed, so in order to purge my system of the debacle in Dallas last night, it was time to look ahead to Portland vs. Houston.

    Here is my weekly installment of DD's Rocket talk, some might even call it a WEAKLY installment.

    :D

    Here is the link for the embeddedly challenged

    I think the Rockets win in 6, but just barely.

    Enjoy, and comments are welcome.

    I still would like a back and forth show, but have not found a way to easily create one.

    Thanks and I hope you enjoy it.

    That game was far from Ron's loss.




    He was not even in the game when Dallas really destroyed us.
    But throw it on Ron if it makes you feel better......



    Scola was the worst player by a LONGSHOT. Just awful.

    Another good video DD.


    I think alot of it was just as much of Adelmans fault as it was Rons though. Like so many people have been saying, Adelman (and even brooks/lowry or ANYONE!) need to have the backbone to pull artest aside and tell him to quit going iso. In the most crucial time last night, when we couldnt get it to yao, artest would jack up an offset 3! That cannot happen in the playoffs.

    I didn't give you 1 star, Someone else thinks your thread sucks...

    If it is about playoffs and matchups, Why the cheapshots?
    Not on my watch...

    The video is completely about the matchups in the playoffs, and there are some people on here who automatically rate any of my threads 1 star, sorry if I thought it was you.

    I just do this to contribute to the BBS to make it a little more unique than other Sports boards.

    I figure I owe it here since I post too darned much, got to contribute somehow.

    But if the rating gets too low, to me it says it is time to stop doing the vids.

    Good video this week, DD. Equal parts realistic and optimistic.

    My keys would be...

    - Try to get out to early leads so Hayes can come in to guard Aldridge for heavy minutes. He's averaged 24 minutes per game during the season series, so I assume Adelman realizes how important this match up is.

    - Keep Przybilla off the damn offensive boards. Easiest way to do this is to establish Yao early and get Joel P. in foul trouble.

    - Keep hitting the 3. Rockets went for .422 from downtown during the season series.

    If the Rockets can do those 3 things consistently, I love their chances.

    thanks for the vid.
    I really got the feeling that Ron will be the difference maker in this series
    if he shuts down Roy and contribute offensively, we win.
    if he goes outta control we lose.
    simple

    DD, I have been expecting this Talk from you to try to find something to cheer me up since the lost last night. I was depressed whole last night and this morning, now I do feel much better and pumped up again after the “talk”.

    Thanks.

    You did very well unlike most of the time. :D
    Agreed with most of what you said,I still think Deke could have an important role against their big guys if Rick plays him despite their youth.
    The first 2 games on the road are key,if our guys can win one,we can put some pressure on them at the Toyota Center.

    Thanks for the talk as always DD. Great insight on the series, I think Ron is the X-Factor in this series.

    GREAT SHOW

    I still think we have adventage over Portland.

    We talked about it (especially Ron) on skype.

    Damn, I love Outlaw. He is amazing player. Few years ago all he could was dunking. Right now his jumpshot is much improved. I am afiard of him.

    Hmm artest must be hiding under his bed after that beating you gave him there. In all seriousness, he has to take a step back and evaluate what it is that this team needs from him and how he can provide that more efficiently.

    Our home games should be comfortable enough. Although Blazers have lots of talent; you kill Roy, you kill Blazers. Yao should really shine in this series. Lots of trip to the charity stripe and lots of open looks for his teammates.
