    Our guards will be critical if we want to win, they need to be abusing steve blake on the offensive end. And we need great team defence, alrdige is a player if no one knew

    a must win if you ask me. i am hesitating, though, about whether nor not to put some money on the line.

    whoever plays the better defense wins the game and the series. and i am confident that will be us. i don't care what their home record is, they only played us twice in rose garden.

    any idea who's gonna where an arm sleeve wafer did on wednesday :D

    anyway i think the rockets steal game 1, yao needs to get the ball at least once every possesion, lowry will abuse steve blake he wont be able to control lowry's big body he will have to foul him.and we need to make our FREE-THROWS!!!!

    I am pessimistic. No way we can win any series with AB as our starting PG. He sucks. :(

    Rockets hold Roy to 39.3% FG and 25% 3 point

    LaMarcus is the only player we need to look at and try and defend.

    You are comparing a young inexperienced Trailblazers team with an champion Spurs team. It is totally different. Because of Trailblazers' youth, we can't allow them to get fired up and gain the confidence. We make them nervous with a win in game 1, then the rest is a lot easier. For Spurs, their experience allows them to come back, their confidence is always there.

    I am hoping to see Lowry start, but AB is fine matching up with Blakes.

    This series actually reminds me of the 2007 playoffs when the Raptors played the Nets....
    The Rockets are like the Nets and Blazers like the Raptors. Raptors were considered a young team on the rise during the 2007 playoffs. They had homecourt advantage, but the Nets went into to Toronto and beat them in Game 1. The Rockets need to mess up the Blazers composure and momentum in Game 1, if they wanna win the series.

    Outside of all the matchups, team rebounding will be critical in this game. The Blazers have the size and length but not the discipline to outrebound us.

    Why is everyone so confident? A sweep?

    All I remeber is 2 years ago when we were facing Utah in the frist round with HCA everyone was saying it will be an easy matchup. Look what happened.

    Never take your opponents lightly.

    I think we really have a pretty good chance to win the first game, if those d@mn referees could make this not happen again in Rose Garden.
