    It was hard to tell who was grabbing whose shirt in that little melee. Lots of grabbing on both sides and frankly, I was expecting the call to go against Przybilla.

    If anyone posts at the Rockets forum, i'd post there lol. Anyways good game for you guys, although I disagreed with many of the calls down the stretch where you guys went on a run. Afterall, all the Rockets fan feel the same way. Just like you guys when the opposite happens. If Rockets don't win Game 6, series is yours. I honestly thought we were gonna win after we were up 68-64. Just a few bad calls. Good game anyways

    Thanks. We'll see you got Game 6. Should be a dogfight, minus Qyntel Woods.

    Great game Blazers - way to come back from four points down in the 4th. Game Six is going to be a dogfight. Oh, and the kicker is that the Blazers made Jeff "Rockets in 5" Van Gundy eat his words!

    Exactly. Oden did some good stuff, but also did some horrible stuff. Joel is more dependable. Oden gave Joel a rest, but Joel is who we want in there most of the time.

    Quit worrying about Game 6, and just worry about changing you bottom line so that it shows Portland with 2 wins.

    Three minutes left, gotta play through that imo. But I doubt Nate ever asked him, "hey Greg, are you tired?" Maybe Nate's observation, but I wouldn't have taken him out at all. Just rediculous that he did.

    And a few bad shots, and a few defensive lapses, and a few good shots from the Blazers. Rockets have played a very good series - I'll take nothing away from them. But tonight, the Blazers outplayed them, and got the calls they've deserved all series. Houston got shafted a few times, I'll admit, but I don't think those were difference-makers in the end.

    If Greg can stay out of foul trouble he is a very good player to have on the court. The refs got him for some ticky-tack stuff again, but he still played well down the stretch. I'm glad he's on the team.

    well, its not like Joel is a scrub. he's a smarter player and won't pick up tick tack fouls.

    He turned the ball over a couple times. Couldn't score against a guy who was a head shorter than him. Missed 2 free throws. Yes, he played better in the 4th, but overall, it was a rough game for him.

    It's all good. We'll see about that. I don't know that I agree, but it's been a fun series thus far. And I know LA prefers you guys win.

    He also played very effective defense on Yao, which was huge.

    He rebounded when he could and blocked a couple shots, and hit two key FT down the stretch.

    Very effective tonight.

    Thanks man. It's been a helluva series, and I'm glad to be able to watch more of it. I know we're going to get Houston's best in game 6 -- I just hope we can bring along some energy of our own.

    :cheers:
