    The Moda Center (Rose Garden) will be absolutely rocking on its foundation. If the roof doesn't come off then it will be a let down.
    There is just no way the Blazers are going back to Houston without winning a game. And that's a promise. This team is good enough to
    sweep.

    That would be awesome. I wonder if they could actually end up turning as much profit if they did a single, one-time only Finals game there. People would pay for that.

    They always stick him with Breen. We get the supposed #1 crew which never happens.

    Anyways, nice to see ESPN get HOU's lil mascot to sit on the sidelines in a game they absolutely need to win. He's one of their fanboys who declared HOU is a team that can come out of the west.

    He sucks in the playoffs. If he played well in the 2012 NBA Finals, the Rockets wouldn't have traded him. He didn't earn the max when it mattered.

    This is a testament to the Blazers defense. But are the Blazers getting any credit, or is the whole world focused on how "badly" Harden is playing? I'm going to guess the latter.

    Even though we're up 2-0, IMO, it's been the best first round series. It's been played with the most intensity over the eight quarters and one OT of any other.

    Whichever team loses this series, they'll watch teams in the East and just shake their heads. If Portland or HOU were in the East, this would be an ECF-level of competition.

    I know I would. I'd pay triple what I would pay at the RG. The Coliseum trembled underfoot. There was nothing like it.

    The Rockets didn't trade him - they traded FOR him. Still, his 37.5% in the 2012 Finals is better than he's currently performing.

    I hope they can turn off all the lights. It would look pretty cool.

    They just have to make sure they hand them out before the player introductions. They always turn the lights out for that.

    Seriously. A joke is a joke. But I know obscenity when I see it and that is obscene, and not protected speech.

    Just goes to show you that the HCP lacks a real sense of humor. No real Blazers with a sense of humor would take that joke that far!! :MARIS61:

    That's only for the TNT Overtime games and you can change it to one picture, then it freezes and replays everything in echo mode.

    It has been a well played series. I see two powerhouse teams going at each other. Some analysts thought the Rockets might have the best talent in the playoffs . . . the Blazers have matched them blow for blow. Maybe Rockets aren't clicking on all cylinders, but watching other games around the league, this Blazer/Rocket series has been a competitive well played series by both teams.
