    True, a lot of things have to happen for the Rockets to win. You can say they have to be pretty much close to perfect as can be but hustling and hitting timely shots when they're prone to scoring droughts will give them a really good chance to steal another game.

    This and Toronto are my faves for first round upsets.

    I still don't think POR pulls this series out. Good games by Lillard and McC though.

    Portland is a tough place to play. Blazer fans were loud all night.

    They really are. I've known that about Paul. But Durant. Man. What a baby.

    Wow so the 2nd round is now looking like Clippers without CP3 vs Warriors without Steph...

    warriors finally have an injury and their most likely competition in the next round has their best player get injured?

    so the curry/paul matchup will just be to see who wears the best suit to the arena?

    Clippers won't make it past the Blazers. This series is going to 7. Paul is out for the playoffs. Curry out 2-3 weeks. Warriors get past either team easily.

    If the damn Rockets were able to take advantage of Steph-less Warriors they would likely face a hobbled Clippers team with no Chris Paul..... of course then you run into the stone wall of SAS in the WCF so I guess it doesn't matter either way.

    Curry is coming back in the series though. Paul isn't.
