    I'm watching the Rockets-Warriors game. Rockets were leading momentarily early in the 3rd. Hopefully, it goes to triple OT.

    Hopefully they (Houston) get all this scoring out their system and do what they did in Houston a few days ago.

    I like the layout DW!!! Has the smell of success! Go Blazers! I think total humiliation of the Rockets is the game plan

    Actually Meyers is really good for drawing the tech fouls against these diva big guys...it's a weapon when used correctly!

    On the TNT post-game show, Kevin McHale said "Watch out for Portland" in regard to making the playoffs. And then Barkley chimed in and said "Damian Lillard should've been an All-Star."

    It looks like some are finally taking notice of our team.

    I'll finally be able to limp to the arena after a three-game absence. Man, I really fucking hate the Rockets. We need to get to .500! How awesome would that be???

    Wow that's a lot of people not interested in all star weekend. You guys aren't going to watch CJ in the skills comp?

    All-Star has slowly been sliding down hill but I'm still a sucker for it...all of it. Especially the shooting stars!

    We're setting up a paint drying watch party over that weekend. We're all busy.

    After the OKC @ GSW game, the sportscenter analysts were looking at GSW's upcoming schedule, trying to identify any other potential losses. Michael Wilbon made a point to get everyone's attention and say "February 19th, at the Trail Blazers. Watch out for that game. The Blazers are playing really well as of late."

    Planned Valentine's day around the all star game with a gf I had in college. Terrible idea. Will never make that mistake again.

    Can we get some massive speakers and play a soundtrack of screaming children at 110db while we watch the paint dry? Then it'll be just like watching the AS game!

    This is as big a game as one can have in mid-February. One, because it's the douchebag Rockets, two, because it's pivotal for playoff positioning, and three, because FUCK THE ROCKETS.

    Yep this is a big game and the Rockets know it as well. I am glad they did not get embarrassed last night. NBA teams tend to respond well after getting blown out. I think it will be a close one. Stotts needs to get in the ear of the refs early and not let the flopping be a factor.

    I thought the Rockets got more calls last night vs the Warriors and they were the road team.

    I expect an easy Blazer victory. The Rockets gave all they had last night on a TNT game, they wanted an epic win in GS. Now they don't care about this one game and are ready to start the break.

    The most critical thing the Blazers have to do to win this game; correctly fill out an active roster.

    Here comes .500 record at the allstar break and being in a playoff spot! :cheers:
