I can't help but like the Blazers chance of winning the series. Isn't this second round talk a bit premature? It got T-Mac out of a series before after being up 3-1, and I hope that doesn't happen to these Rockets. If the Blazers take care of business at home and steal a win in Houston, they have the series. I'm still hurt over thinking about that second round versus Golden State several years ago...that hurt.
i think NBA should change that rule... the lower seed should play the highest seed in future rounds like the NHL (if i remember correctly)
Does it really matter what a bunch of people from a forum want? and It's not like most of them are Laker fans anyways, I bet you anything 95% of them are just Kobe fans and they just want to see the series so Kobe can get his stats.
com'on guys, get real here. If you ever watched any Lakers playoff game this season, they're just too much for the Rockets right now. Hell I'd say they're playing a level above everybody except Calv. and a healty Celtics.
but Toyota center does need to be louder and louder. we dont pay for watching ballet out there, ladies and gentlemen.
Anyone have a link to this Laker board. I want to see what they think now. Do they still want Houston the most?
looks like more than any of us thought also, including myself. this series is very different from what happened during the regular season.
At this point, the Lakers shouldn't WANT anybody. It seems like they have motivation problems, and outside of maybe Atlanta, none of the teams remaining are having a problem with energy and heart. We'll see how they come out in Game 5, but I think the Rockets have already given them more than they wanted.
