    No. Only because we were able to skip a major step. I mean if we go into next season's Playoffs with HCA for the first time, we still don't fully realize the intensity level we have to bring on our home floor. We have to, at some point, begin understanding what it takes to win under different circumstances. We've got the underdog role down pat. We need to learn how to win as a favorite.

    Sure I am. :D

    Hmmm...I'm wondering how that egg gets fertilized? Certainly not from some wimpy man's sperm.

    I don't claim to be a doctor......not since college anyway, but how can a gay couple reproduce without the help of someone from the opposite sex?

    assisted fertility

    Assistance, yes, but no actual sex with the male. And they don't even have to know who he is. Same thing straight couples have been doing for a generation when needed.

    Oh I agree with you. Just saying, that it is impossible without both sexes.

    I don't have a problem with that. Like I said, I have no prob with straight folks. They're OK, in their place.

    This is why we want HCA.

    I thought the same thing as well. Hopefully steal one of two on the road instead of having to protect HCA in the first game ever in the playoffs for this team.

    Marine "A" storms the beach with a loaded gun and gets shot.

    Marine "B" decides to storm the beach with an empty gun, since carrying a loaded gun didn't work for "A".

    That about sums up the "logic" of this thread.

    You do realize that Portland no longer holds the HCA, right? Yeah, that happened during one star-struck butt whipping. There's your logic, old man. ;)

    Game 7 in our house makes the series winnable -- still unlikely, but possible.

    If the next game was in Portland, and 7 was in Houston... not so much.

    Game 7 is what you want HCF for. Other games, the home court is not huge and has not been so far this year. Game 7, HCF if overwhelming.

    You always want HCA because it affords you a slip up at home, and gives you the biggest advantage in a tough series...game 7 in your house.
