    My thoughts exactly - we've seen this team turn it on in spurts and they can be overwhelming when they do. I'm pretty sure their going to turn it up to 11 in this series.

    Rockets in 5 with the one loss being when Lin steps on the line when we down by 3...

    Two careers cut way too short.

    I'm not too worried right now heading into the matchup with Portland.

    This team is bad right now because we don't take some opponents seriously and don't come out ready.

    I'm confident that this is not going to be the case in the Playoffs and we won't be spotting teams 15 point leads in the first quarter and digging ourselves out of a hole.

    Bev's first game back was a blessing. Dude looks ready for Lilliard.
    Can't wait for the tantrums to the media.

    And Asik is engaged now. He knows this is his audition time for a new team. The Twin Towers can see some effective minutes this series. I hope LA isn't getting his hopes too high fantasising about destroying Terrence Jones on the offensive end.

    People are taking this recent downplay against bad competition too seriously... Just watch Monday's game vs. the Spurs we will lite them up.

    Blazers not a serious thread. Aldridge is so boring to watch, jump shots after jump shots! They are so predictable. Some good gams from Jones and Lin make the difference.

    Rockets should win but it's wouldn't surprise me if Portland pulled off the upset the way rockets are playing.

    Doom and gloom crowd out in full force. Hilarious what a week of knee-jerking will do.

    Rockets in 5. Having Asik actually wanting to play basketball now is going to be huge.

    Pat Bev is back so I am feeling good about our chances.

    If Pat would have been out for the season we would have been crushed at the PG spot.

    Rockets in 6 but expect most games to be close especially the closer.

    There are two reasons for our poor play lately... Injuries and regular season fatigue.

    Both of those should be resolved by playoff time. Rox in 5

    Sad thinking about all these players who could still be forces in the league, but have been hit with injuries.

    Kobe
    Mcgrady
    Yao
    Roy
    Oden
    Bynum
    Stat
    Areanas
    Rose

    So much wasted talent :(
