    Why are none of the people who think the Blazers will win speaking up / identifying themselves?

    Never compare reg season with playoffs, last year everyone here was saying we better play GS then SAS in the playoffs and just look what happened next, they were one shot away from the NBA title.
    If we get HCA Portland is the best matchup for the first round, maybe Dallas seems to be easier but they have tons of experience in this stage.
    I go for 4-2, but 4-1 might also be a good prediction with HCA.

    I can't wait! Should be a good way to start our playoff run, I expect a tough series but nothing we can't handle.

    They have shown what they can achieve, no more than that. No surprise and no secret weapon for them.

    Umm. I say in 6. Rox in 6.

    I can see Harden going off in the playoffs.

    no matter what, they'll schedule us for the most obscure timeslots and save the prime ones for lebrun/cp3/dorant/stephenie

    I think getting HCA is going to be important because though I see us winning, I think this will be a long series.

    I'll say Rockets in 7.

    I really agree with this.

    I think the Rox will get stronger as the series goes on (barring injuries), because they'll have more time to reintegrate Dwert and Bev.

    I think Howard steps his game up, and makes Harden the #2... Which would be amazing.

    Rockets in 5.

    Talent typically trumps all in the playoffs. This is where Dwight and Omer will really show their worth. The only thing that scares me is McHale.

    Rockets in 6, giving them a let down game and Blazers have enough to legitimately take 1 game.

    7 games and right now I give Blazers the edge, they are on a roll and the Rockets are not. We cannot rely on Harden heroics for 4 games + I don't trust Howard in the playoffs and Beverley is a bad fall away from being out for the season.
