    I heard Kenny Smith talk about this, and the big difference is that when Houston came back from the 3-1 deficit, they had actually dominated the series and had only lost because they had gotten complacent. They felt that if they really turned it on they could win. Houston hasn't been dominating us. This has been a really good series in every single game. No team has really dominate the series and yet the Blazers are 3-1.

    From my view, Houston is expanding so much energy to try and build the leads that they usually have gotten that it leaves little in the tank late in the 4th and if OT happens than OT. If you recall it was Daniels who scorched us to give them the win, if they had stuck with Garcia I think we would have won, since no one for them is making the big shots late really. This is the opposite of us we just want to keep it relatively close and then use all that energy and effort into the 4th to grab the win and so far we have done that 3 times. I would almost be scared if we were the ones to have the lead for most of the game as opposed to being down.

    No I'm at home. I agree that an early big lead would actually scare me.

    Ironically, if anyone has been clutch in this series, it's been the Blazers.

    the shirts look like they are sponsored by McDonalds.

    At least the fans will have a couple of shirts as summer souvenirs.

    I think Portland has actually been outplaying Houston....the close games are due to the reffing.

    We've outplayed them in the 4th quarter of every game, that's for sure. We are +15 total in 4th quarters this series. Not huge, but we've been on the + side each 4th quarter. The problem is we have started behind in most of them.

    I agree.

    Contrary to Hakeem's fantasy, the only way the Rockettes can possibly dominate the Blazers is if the refs make it so. The Blazers have shown they are the better team.

    Anything can happen, so buckle your seatbelt.

    I find this extremely ironic as the current team has been outscored in the 4th quarter of each game.

    Exactly, so why not let him continue to wonder? Why give up the game of messing with him.

    Blazers are going to most likely make them pay for that.
