    Oden ruled as a game time decision for tomorrow night's game because of a sinus infection.

    I had a dream that Rockets would win the first game and that Scola would step out.

    Let's hope I'm right.

    i really wanna believe its going to happen but its not. we need a scorer. earlier in the season von was looking like that guy but no more. who can we go to? they start fronting yao, getting a little physical with scola, physical with AB (hopefully lowry is on in that situation)...the list goes on? what will we do? we dont have a go to guy and portland has like 3. oh well at least the blazers will give the lakers a good series. i say portland in 6or 7.

    "I like Pryz saying that he wants Yao all to himself, no fronting help from Aldridge. He has taken the challenge. "

    Orygun, I couldn't disagree more. I love Przybilla, but I think that is not a good idea. Yao is just bigger, taller, and stronger than Joel. It reminds me of the last time a prominant Blazer went to the coach and said he wanted to guard the other teams best player in the playoffs. Anybody remember? It was Clyde Drexler, trying to guard Michael Jordan. What happened? Jordan torched him for a record number of three pointers.

    Listen, its a team game, and I think the way to stop Yao is to a) front him like Dallas did last night; and b) draw him away from the basket. That last option might mean going to a smaller line-up from time to time, possibly even bringing Frye and Aldridge together. They may not be able to guard Yao, but they will help limit his defensive impact. And it will also force Adelman to make a mid-game adjustment, something he is terrible at.

    We actually are a much more physical team than Portland, position for position.

    I need help.

    I'm going to be out tomorrow night and my Tivo is shot. I have Time Warner Cable so it doesn't carry espn360. Is there a website that will have a replay of the entire game and if so how long does it take to post? Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm with our guys all the way even they don't make it out of the 1st round.
    However,my main concern is the mental makeup of our team in playoff conditions.

    Yao is under enormous pressure,he says he does not know how to get out of the 1st round which is understandable but it a big concern nevertheless. Roy on the other hand says it's a challenge but it's going to be fun.

    Unless we change our attitude especially Yao and Ron(with him going solo which to a certain extent I can understand when he sees that he needs to pick up the slack,still harmful though) I don't see how we can come through.

    Of course not, but were not afraid of him...

    Artest and Battier are up to the challenge

    Roy will be a warm up for them :D

    Oh Yah, thanks for reminding me - I forgot it was Donaghy at Mavs series.
    I guess NBA is not for the traditional big men anymore, guards league alright.

    Does anyone have a video of Pryzbilla flopping twice in a row on Yao and getting no call during the regular season?? I think it was the third game they played against each other.

    I think they both have the same ability, it's hard to say who will win the series.
    what if Yao meet the fronting defence ? It is always a big problem for Rockets!
    Bless Rockets!
