It's Now Down To Two Separate Series

1) Win one of two on the road

then

2) Win two of three with HCA

Simple.

 

Or: it's a best of 5 without HCA.

 

Or how about we just win 3 in a row.

 

At this point, the cool thing to me is, the Blazers can still win this series without having to win even two in a row.

 

Ummm... no. We just won, so for that we would have to lose G3 in Houston, win G4, lose G5 at home, win G6 at HOU, then lose Game 7.

But I know what you mean.

 

Yeah, good catch. If we steal that first game in Houston, I think we'll win this baby.

 

Just remember th 4-5 Matchup is typically the crazyest, hardest to win matchup in the playoffs. The teams are usually evenly matched due to record closeness, and typically both teams are good at home but not invincible. If they were invincible, they would be a 1 through 3.
