It's official: Houston Rockets vs Portland Trailblazers in the first round

Stotts outcoaches McHale, Matthews lights up Harden, but Rockets still win in 7.

 

My initial thought would have been that...but the rockets are in a funk and the blazers have hit their stride. The rockets of early march would sweep but this team is playing very eratic...and that won't do it in the playoffs.

 

We should sweep them but the way the rockets are playing lately, they might get swept.

 

We gotta lock up homecourt.

 

When Rockets turn it up, few teams can beat them. In the playoffs, this team including Harden will for sure be locked in.

 

Rockets in 7

Will be a hell of a series.

 

with Home Court Advantage, I say the Rockets in 5-6........ Slump and all.

 

This series ain't gonna be as easy as some think. It will go 7 and the team with home court wins.

 

3 weeks ago I would have doing cartwheels.

But the Rockets don't look right at the moment. Hopefully it's just effort and we turn it on in the playoffs. This is still the easiest matchup though.

 

Could easily go 7. With the way rockets are playing , they might lose in 5.

 

Rockets over Blazers in 7 games

Spoiler

 

I dk. Everyone feels confident that we can beat them, but for some reason I have a feeling they might win the series....I hope I am wrong though!

 

Should be a nice 1st round. Filled with offense.

I just hope the Rockets play defense, especially closing out on their 3 pt shooters.

 

As long as we stay healthy, I'm confident we can beat them.

 

Rockets in 6

Beverly makes Lillard cry

 

Repeat of the 2009 playoffs.

 

Will need Dexter Pitman to help... I mean Josh Powell to help out on Aldridge to win.

 

Blazers are like a sprained ankle, nothing to play with.

 

Lin plays good against the blazers which is a positive. A healthy Dwight helps too along with Asik.
