    Are people not as excited?

    When we made playoffs last year, I feel like there was a lot more buzz.

    Come on Red Nation!! Let's get ROWDY!

    also, i hope TC is packed on Sunday. Encourage your friends to go!!!

    Anyone else worried about the games being played on TNT? We haven't played all too well on TNT, particularly Howard. But if we are going to break that trend, the playoffs are the time to do so!!

    My Keys for this Series:
    1) Go to Dwight early and often. The only player that can hope to attempt to guard him is Lopez. Get Dwight going early and allow that to open up the floor for our shooters.
    2) Get Lopez in foul trouble as soon as possible. This goes along with my first point also. He is really their key to their defense. If he gets in foul trouble, their defense is even worst. This will also force LMA to play defense too.
    3) If LMA gets his numbers, make sure he gets them inefficient as possible. 25 point is less harmful when it's on 25 shots.
    4) Rotate to their shooters swift and under control. We should never be leaving Lillard, Batum, or Matthews open at all but we need too keep our perimeter defense tight.
    5) No lulls on offense. Portland is a type of team that won't stop you from scoring. You stop yourself fro scoring on them. But, they are team that if we can't score for 4-5 minutes, they will gladly score 15 on you.

    That being said, I expect the Rockets to win this series pretty effectively. Rockets in 5, 6 maximum.
