I concur. This team is tougher now without McGrady and they won't expect the Blazers to roll over and give them the series because they are down.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves. The Rockets have held a 2-0 lead twice before, but in 2005 it was rigged. Game 2 is not game 7, but it will tell...
Yes I switched Houston with LA after. I apologize for the other mistake, #1 Cavaliers over #3 Magic in 5 games Still, Denver and Cleveland may be...
Try harder. Portland can score and they can play way better defense than last night. Keep attacking Yao consistently with Bayless, Outlaw, Roy,...
Well this team is young and cheap. Worst case scenario is they lose in round one, get some playoff experience, sign a big free agent maybe Bibby...
I sort of include China now since Yao has been with the Rockets for 7 years and will retire a Rocket. But outside of Houston and China, they don't...
Bayless is fast enough to keep up with Brooks. McMillan doesn't play Jerryd because of his poor shot selection which I believe stems from everyone...
I'm looking out for young Portland fans. When TMac said he would finish the Mavs, or beat Utah, every Rockets fan got their hopes too high when the...
Batum is a rookie that scored 2 points in his 20 minute playoff debut. Maybe if he knows he is being benched and he is not telling us that.
The Rockets shot 59% = less defensive rebounds while the Blazers shot 41% = more defensive rebounds. BUT THE BLAZERS TOOK 19 more SHOTS THAN THE...
I love when people try to act like they know. This series along with game 6 of the 2002 WCF put a man in jail for many years to come.
Blazers fans just remember you have a young team, rich owner, and cap space for the next two seasons with many picks. Trades and signings will...
Lets look at the roster of that team four years ago. Yao Ming - ONLY PLAYER LEFT Ryan Bowen - out of NBA SheMac - Out of NBA David Wesley - Out...
Rockets in 5. Predicted before JVG.
In a close game, Yao won't let Greg have the opportunities he had tonight. Yao Ming is the best defensive big, Dwight is second.
I'm not. These experts just want to sell a Lakers-Blazers series. The Rockets beat you without a Brandon Roy, and don't sell outside of their local...
Oden is strong, but that does not mean he can stop Yao. They tried it and Yao kept scoring on Oden. Durant is a player that always kills the...
Yao Ming would break Greg Oden.
HCA HCA HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE I said it before PORTLAND NEEDS ALDRIDGE AND ROY TO BE THEIR BIG 2 SCORERS. The playoffs is too different for the rest...
Its not too late to post your first round predictions in the NBA forum.
