    At half-time, the Blazers will still be working on getting Yao fouled out because our other offensive options are still burning them.

    I see the 3rd quarter as being critical when Yao may get limited minutes. Still, I expect to see Adelman mixing it up and I've complete faith in Deke and Hayes doing really well.

    The 4th will get frenetic for the Blazers as the minutes tick by, with Yao and Brooks going to the FT line often to keep the Rockets ahead.

    In the end, it's the Rockets by at least 10! Our defence will win the contest again!

    Lakers fan here, good luck for game two. I didn't get a chance to comment after game one but amazing job on that beat down. I and many Lakers Fans got a kick out of that game. People are underrating the Rockets, you guys have way more experience than Blazers. Battier, Ron, Yao, Deke, that's four guys that have WAY more experience in the playoff's than the whole PDX team combined, Hell even Scola knows what it takes guy is a euro vet. Either way it should be an interesting series. You guys take out Portland for us and we'll take down Utah for you ;)

    Can you skip us for round two then? Since we are working out favors for each other. Give us Denver and you can beat up on Dallas or San Antonio. lol.

    Man, I can't wait for tonight's game.

    I just know what Nate's been telling his boys.

    Defense: Front Yao, and rotate and overplay on Brooks to get the ball out of his hands.

    Offense: Everyone jump straight into Yao's chest on every drive possible.

    Honestly, Priz and Oden have no chance of fronting Yao, they're not quick enough, I think Aldridge is going to be the one doing it most of the night.

    We're going to get their best shot tonight, it's time to break their will.

    Yeah thats what I had said in another thread...I am scared that the blazers will decide to go small and have Aldridge at Center and just decide to take Yao out of the game. If they do that Yao would be useless since he cant guard Aldridge...unless we become great against the fronting.

    Several minutes before the Game 2 starts, Yao met Oden in the training area.

    Yao: Do you want to become the No.1 Center in the UBA?
    Oden: Yes I do.
    Yao: Do you want to become the most dominant big man in this league?
    Oden: Yes I do.
    Yao: Do you want to earn a name after Shaq and me?
    Oden: Yes I do!
    Yao: Then you don't front. that's weak. that's the confession of inferiority. you take head on collision with the enemy's C!

    Oden got thrilled and kept pondering what Yao said, then went back to Blazer's bench. He repeated what Yao told him to Joel Prizsibilla.

    Joel went off: "damn that bi**h! he told me exactly the same thing before game 1!"

    Again, all RA has to do before the game is ask "who in this room stands up or sits down to piss"? Everyone will get up and yell and they will demolish the trailblazers again.

    Rox WILL win the series............its a bet.

    Things I'd love to c

    1. Deke flooring Oden with a wild elbow after a rebound.
    2. Ron Ron stepping on Joel's head after an obvious flop on Yao.
    3. Roy crying hysterically on the bench from Ron and Shane's suffocating defense.
    4. Rockets take the series at home with Dream watching at half court.

    Blow out season 2

    There must be a very good reason why JVG predict blazers won't fronting Yao at game 1, fronting wont work.
