    If the Blazers are to win this game, somebody is going to have to step up big time.

    It could be Miller, or Aldridge, but my money is on Camby. I think he's going to have the game of his life, and be a shot-blocking, rebounding maniac out there. The guy has got to be pissed about missing that dunk in Game 1 and all those layups in Game 2. Tonight will be his first game in Portland after signing the 2-year extension, and I think he's going to be dying to show the Portland fans what they got for Paul Allen's money.

    What do you think?

    I'll go with a dark horse pick and say Nic ... I think he's a gamer and despite the injury I think he'll step up and have a really nice all-around game.

    I expect it will be the whole team, with a deafening boost from the fans.

    It would be great if it was Rudy. I worry that he's tanking though. I pick Webster.

    I say J-Bay gets fueled by the energy of the home crowd and has a strong game.

    I'll go with that pick. Jerryd had a huge game the last time Phoenix came to town, and he seems like he'll be one of those that will be pumped by the home crowd.

    Bayless FTW!

    I'm picking Bayless or Martell with honorable mention to Batum. It would also be nice if Rudy had a recovery game. Yes, I know, I just picked everyone.

    The fans. We have to lift this team tonight and make it impossible for the Suns to hear.

    Is it my imagination or is something just not right there?

    Last year for game 1, the fans were there to lift the team. They carried them in that game but were the only ones that decided to show up. I hope it's not repeated this year.

    A 15+ win by Phoenix and this board will crash. And that would be only due to Mixums' posts!

    Well, from the Suns perspective, he was the hero of game 2.
