ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 4/18/2009 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

No rally in Houston?

 

we dont need a rally to win

 

it seems like we're the huge underdogs everywhere i look.

we need to shut everyone up and blow them out.

 

Nothing beat the NBA playoff...Go Rockets !!!

Rox in 6.

 

Hey Brandon!! Good luck with Shane and Ron.

 

I cant discrible how happy i will be if the rockets defeat the blazars in the first game!!!

 

Rockets will take this first game. and win this series. Go Rockets.

 

I feel we can win the first two in portland, and the serie in 6.

 

i got rockets in six games . i hope more fans actually stay the whole gameat toyata center

 

Sweep the Blazers, 4-0, rockets go!

 

We have to hope these playoff virgins get cocky and bust a nut to early in the series and blow their load all over Portland.

 

Who remembers that computer game they let us play in elementary, Oregon Trails? That game was dope, chuck wagons and ****.

 

Geez, this is like a laundry list of things that are unlikely to happen!

 

Can anyone on the Blazers guard Artest? Batum has a chance, bit I worry about him being so light.

The best guy the Blazers have to guard Artest is Artest.

That's pretty deep. Did Phil Jackson tell you that?

LOL No, but it’s true. If he decides to go into Kobe mode, the Blazers could sweep.

No, I agree. Hopefully Artest shoots the Rockets out of the series.

That was one of my points in my post. I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

i don't think the rockets' coaching staff will chose to 'post up' artest Yao is #1 option. so the blazers will pack the paint when artest drives anyway, artest is equally streaking on the dribble-drive as he is at shooting threes, he will charge someone like pryzbilla in the lane and not even realize it, batum blocking the shot from behind just in case.

HAHAHAHAHAH

 

You have died of dysentery.

 

We really outmatch this team right now.

If we don't beat them and advance I think the Rockets should look to make major changes. No excuses about no T-Mac and whatever...we out match this team...it's really that simple.

They have one advantage over us...Home Court. That's it.

I expect us to be winning one of these first two games and expect us to take it in 6.

 

And your stupid name predicts that you'll end up with egg on your ugly face!
I believe "WOODENHEAD" suits you better.

 

Toyto center sucks, rockets fans cant make enough noise, that is why rockets never get much favor from refs.

 

Will the real Brent Barry show up at all for this series?

we need some deadly three point shooters if we want to advance far in the Playoffs this year.

We need a cold as ice, dagger in your heart type of three pointer this series.

 

Here we go, I think that the 1st game is the easiest to steal IMO. You have a young team that has not been here before so I expect them to come out tight. They are young so it will be some nervous energy to be expended. With all these predictions going around, I say the pressure is on them. They will fly around and their crowd will try to keep them in the game. I say if we come out, match their intensity and hit them in the mouth, they wont recover(remember rox-mavs 2005 in dallas). And besides, if McMillan outcoaches Adelman, somethings wrong. The big question is will we play tight, because of all the things that we have been thru in this 1st round. If we win gm1, gm2 will be a dogfight!!!
