Im kind of pissed ill be at work for the first quarter. I hope we are slow and I can hide in a breakroom and catch the game.

Who is ready for first home win of the series? We better win, my blood pressure has been through the roof during this series.

If you work in retail and you're in Portland, it should be a ghost town.

Time to come out at the tip off and go all Mike Tyson on this team. Bite off an ear and spit it at their bench. Crush the heart out of them and show no mercy! Anybody else ready for a serious blow out win tonight?

TBpup · Apr 27, 2014

A better start (seemed a little hyped getting behind 9-0 early)

A better finish (outscored 9-0 at the end of OT)

Better closers (LA missed his last 6 shots and after success driving the ball to the basket, the entire team settled for jumpshots after getting a 4 point lead late. Any one basket or FTs probably wins that game)

Rebounding (they pretty much were owned on the boards for most of the game)

I expect them to come back and win game 3 and finish in 6.

Strenuus · Apr 27, 2014

I expect a win.

This game can't get here fast enough!

THE HCP · Apr 27, 2014

AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH! My thread is still rendering!!!! 63%......64%........

B-Roy · Apr 27, 2014

Rockets took the early lead in each of the 3 games played so far. Will this be the game where we finally come out strong?

BigGameDamian · Apr 27, 2014

Hey lets get Martel Webster back next season!

KingSpeed · Apr 27, 2014

Washington doing what I hope we do tonight.

Im in south carolina and our business tends to be at night when people get drunk and get arrested. Especially on full moons. I hope its not a full moon tonight and everyone takes a cab

Nhawz · Apr 27, 2014

Who's officiating tonight?

4.5 hours til game time. I'm nervous. What do you guys think? Are we gonna come out like Washington and Golden State? I would love to blow out the Rockets for a game.

Ken Mauer, Ed Malloy and Eric Lewis

I'm nervous as hell, too. The difference between 3-1 and 2-2 is the entire series.

RoyToy · Apr 27, 2014

It's time for Stotts to really earn his paycheck and find an answer to McHale's small lineup.

If he doesn't..... not good imo

The Blazers are up 2-1, but I don't feel good about it at all. These teams are evenly matched and the Rockets could easily be the team up 2-1.

These games are going to come down 1 or 2 possessions every game and the Blazers need to execute.

Agreed. Although it would be scary as hell, though, it's crazy to think we could lose the next two games and still have a chance to win the series.

BBert · Apr 27, 2014

I really thought we were going to win the last game. What a disappointment.

Now I'm nervous.

KingSpeed · Apr 27, 2014

I can't remember who said it but I agree that I'd rather lose game 3 and win game 4 than the other way around. After all, the Rockets trailed OKC 0-3 last year and forced a Game 6.

The only way that happens is if we get hot from 3 like we did a few times this year.

...standing room only for $34, I can't complain regardless! Was really hoping to witness the sweep...oh well, at least the Rose Garden is going to be electric tonight!

If you sit at a playoff game you dont deserve the ticket anyway.
