    Re: We do not want Houston in 1st Round

    Roy is playing w/a bum knee, it's definitely screwing with his mobility right now..

    LMA is on fire, he'll pwn scola every night.

    indeed, Yao is an Olympian, greg is not, so what can you do there?

    Rudy is still playing hurt, hes not near as consistent as he should be....


    i think we'd win a series, cuz we have Boom Boom Batum who needs to play more.

    Re: We do not want Houston in 1st Round

    We're a desperation shot by Roy with 0.8 seconds left, in OT mind you, from being 0-3 against the Rockets and we are 2-1 against the Spurs including a thorough drubbing a few weeks back.

    I know it's simple minded, but doesn't Houston seem to be giving Portland more trouble this year than the Spurs?

    i agree i dont wanna see the spurs or rockets in the first round... however that seems kinda impossible at this point unless we fall to 7

    Complete bullshavick. The Blazers would have won that game yesterday if it weren't for the minutes Frye played.

    I actually agree. I don't like the Houston matchup in general. However, the bottom line is I don't think the Blazers can win a series unless they have home court. And with home court I think they can beat anyone. The disparity has just been to pronounced to be ignored.

    Exactly my thoughts. Getting HCA is critical for playoff success this year.

    I think we lose in the first round regardless. This is how we will gain the experience we will need down the road. No shame in that.

    Don't forget their asstastic performance at the free throw line. That didn't help.

    But last night was Frye's worst game of the season. And that is really, really fucking bad.
