    Blazers are overrated. They are "hyped" because they are young. And they "peaked" too early. Remember what the league was saying about the Jazz a couple months ago when they were on a roll? Same with the Blazers.

    To win, Yao has to demand the ball. It's OK to be nice to the teammates during the regular season. Now it's war, and this is your team! Go prove yourself, YAO!!!

    As a Chinese, I think rox cant rely too much on Yao, he is the guy with limited minutes, otherwise he just disappeared in 4 quarter.

    :D
    You are what your record says you are. Or at least more than 50% of the time. :=)

    I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the top 4 playing each other in the second round. In both conferences.

    Rockets in 5 if we win the 1st game; in 6 if we lose the 1st but win the 2nd.

    I'm more inclined towards Rockets winning in 5 because I suspect we'll solve the fronting problem. How do we that? I've seen glimpses of 2 things we can do in the 4th to overcome the fronting - and I expect the team to put what they know into execution.

    No more holding back - it's playoff time, Rockets!

    we usually play well coming off of a bad loss...so here's hoping for the best. if the rockets have a damed f-ing crappy azz rootin tootin second half meltdown, then we lose.

    "There is a resilience about them that has been unrelenting this season. Get whipped in L.A., then win in Phoenix. Blow a game in Indiana, win in Detroit. Lose to the Clippers, beat the Nuggets. You can do this all day with the season they had." - from Feigan's column

    That's how I feel about this team, they've come back each time there was a loss. Last year's team exerted so much effort in that 22 game streak that I think it just exhausted them by year's end.

    I just don't see how we can't beat these guys in a 7-game series.

    I hope the post game thread won't be dominated by the followings:

    1. Yao didn't get no calls

    2. Artest was a chucker

    3. Yao's turnovers

    4. Lowry should start over Brooks

    5. Yao needs to ger more touches

    Fellas is getting old
