    Portland played it perfectly !! Well done to their GM for an easy first round matchup. They weren't going past the 2nd anyways.

    Maybe, but these cats are nerve-inducing. You have to be @ 110% just to beat their crazy luck in winning time.

    Yeah, seems like portland just wants to secure a 1st round match up to wash away the taste of losing in the first round twice in a row

    Good point, i just don't think the Spurs are going to be harder to play against then OKC for anyone, that's why giving up homecourt in the 2nd round to avoid them makes no sense to me, but like i said, i'm probably and hopefully wrong.

    Holy cow who cares. You either think rockets can win or you don’t. They have the talent to beat anyone.

    I dunno, I think I would rather play OKC than the Spurs, even if it meant losing homecourt to Denver in second round.

    the nuggets will win tonight. the wolves wont let them lose. if this thing is still close in the 4th expect to see some funny rotations.

    they want more ping pong balls now, even though if they were going to tank, they shouldve done this a long time ago like back when they traded butler, and also tried to move wiggins too. they tried to keep the playoff dream alive for too long when they should've BEEN blown this **** up.

    I swear if you can't put them away for good, they just stick to your heels.

    I dun agree with "they have". There is only one guy and if he is out, the hopes are out of the window.

    That is how frail that "talent" is. And I am not talking about that 160 million Paul dude.

    I am also worried about MDA record in the Playoff against Pop. But I'm also afraid of the athleticism of OKC. Crazy stuff always happens when the Rockets play OKC.

    Portland was swept 0-4 by New Orleans in the first round last year. They were 0-4 against OKC this year. Maybe they don't want to be swept again in the first round?:rolleyes:
