    Hey guys :P

    No matter what happens, the main reasons I want the one seed is of course to have home court throughout the playoffs...but also to avoid the Blazers in a possible 2nd round matchup. Yeah, I'd rather let the Warriors deal with that. Call it PTSD lol but I'm aware that you guys would be a very tough out and the Blazers look like an entirely different team and are playing with the confidence that they can beat anyone.

    EDIT: Come to think of it, looking at recent games, I'm sure Warrior fans feel the same way.

    This is the most fun Ive had watching a team for a while. For one thing, and I give Terry a lot of credit for this.... it feels like everybody is involved. In the past it didn't feel like there was as much cohesion or players depending on each other as much.... now even Meyers is making a contribution! It's really the kind of basketball thats just so much fun to watch. We should definately keep this going until June. (Winks)

    A game like what Mo/Nurk had against the Clips and the Blazers are VERY tough to beat.

    Oh man, TNT game too. All eyes will be on this one if Dame wants to solidify his spot on an All NBA team.

    Props to a legit, reasonable Rockets fan. HOU would still be heavily favored but this guy can come back anytime.

    Isn't Lillard's first kid due today? I wonder if he misses the game. If I were Stotts I'd tell him to go home--it's going to be a tough game for Portland to win anyway.

    Most important game of the year so far, Dont @ me. CP3 made a layup last game when it was over. We dont forget that. Moda Center needs to be on FIRE for this game. I dont care if Allen pay the refs, i just wanna win this game. This is a big game. Make a statement, show all the nba fans: we are real. Lets make this one Blazers. Must win game.

    I hated how many Warriors jerseys were in the stands on the 9th. That won't be the case tomorrow. The crowd has no excuse to not be insane for this game.

    I just pray the Rockets don't silence them in the first quarter.

    I figure we've got the advantage at two positions and they've got the advantage at two positions.

    We've got the better bench, better coach and home court advantage.

    I predict that we win in spite of Harden being quite a bit better than CJ.

    Easy win. Rockets can't hang with us. I hope Dame plays. Then we have two days off.
