    I look forward to some improved defense tonight. Shutting down Aldridge and Roy.

    I think tonight we win easily and take out all the aggression from the boston loss on Portland. Look for Yao to bounce back and redeem himself from the other night with a strong performance. Hopefully AB gets some solid minutes to help us run away with the win.

    Really wanted to see Yao vs. Oden though.

    Portland hasn't played well at all so we need to take adventage of that. Of course we expect a win.

    - More T-Mac, more shots for him. Hopefully he will continue to make improvement and his jumpers will be working as they were during Boston's game. We need to get him going early. I expect a great game from him.

    - Yao and Artest need to play better, a lot better.

    - RAFER DON'T SHOOT THE BALL

    Rafer gets to guard Blake tonight, at least he may be able to keep him in front...for a change.

    Shutdown city. We'll have them shooting below 35%.

    Rafer goes 3/7.

    Three keys:

    Ball movement
    Perimeter / Transition Defense
    Rebounding


    I hope to see some improvement from our starters running Adelman’s offense. As well as our seeing improvement form our guards deterring penetration and stopping the ball on the break. Our bigs need to do a better job of going back to fundamentals and putting a body on someone instead playing like their taller and quicker than they are. They better be ready for Portland because they killed San Antonio offensive rebounding.

    A win for sure.

    Hopefully, we'll stop downplaying like we did with Thunders/Grizzlies. That way we can have Rafer in the game and shoot as many shots he can so he can get out of his damn slump.

    I watched their last night game vs Utah, they were not good as the last year. Rockets should have a easy win.

    Rockets: 102
    Blazers:89

    Should be an easy win, but so should of every other game we have played so far including the Celtics. I think Yao will bounce back and have a monster game. We need to find a way to put it away early so our starters can get some much needed rest for this long road trip.

    No Greg Oden, Yao is going to drop 30.

    Final score rockets 110-98 blazers.
