Game 2 = MUST win ok, not really. But I think we need this mindset, we need to pretend we're down 1-0 and got blown out tonight. We need to get greedy and really crush all hope for Portland. I'm a worrier and have seen us get complacent, blow big leads, and of course we all know about our recent playoff history and being up in series. We need a killer instinct mentality in Game 2. Blazers will be amped to redeem themselves, but we need to keep focus.. NO LETTING UP Go Rox
Absolutley, we need to put our foot on their throats right now. We took the first two in Dallas in 05 and still couldn't finish them. Game 2 is a must win...
I totally agree...if we win game 2, that would take so much pressure of our team. Also with the next two games in houston, that is a big advantage to the rox. GO ROX
I agree, we need to finish off the Blazers. Show them that they really have no chance against us. I want Yao to come out aggressive, he played half a game and will have 2 days rest after this. He should be FRESH and HUNGRY for more Pryzbilla.
Yeah, I think we need to forget about game 1 as quickly as possible now. They are going to make major adjustments... we need to take this game in Portland and put the pressure on them to win in Houston.
We definitely pulled a little of the swagger away from Portland tonight. Poor fans. I'm gonna have a field day sporting my Yao Ming jersey around town tomorrow
The Rockets have to prepare for all the fronting the Blazers will be using in game two. I think Battier will have a much bigger role on offense when that happens. He'll have to start nailing the open three. If the Rockets win game two, will be because of their defense and not their offense.
And if we win game 2, then game 3 becomes the real must win. Aren't we the only team in league history to win the first two games on the road and still lose the series (vs DAL in 2005)?
