    While not even remotely legal you could kidnap someone in Howard and Hardens family and threaten their lives if they do not blow the game or series on purpose. So yes you could have some control over the outcome, you could also offer millions of dollars to ref in order to fix the outcome.

    Wouldn't that involve actually watching the game?

    Why because he is black? Or because he has Aids? Or because he is a Hall of Famer and knows more about basketball than anyone on this forum will ever know?

    If you read my posts before the game, as well as this one, I was specifically referring to the BEGINNING of the game. We play clutch ball at the end of a game, but we never put a team away early and give them hope. Wes admitted as much in his interview you posted.

    So our beginning killer instinct sucks but our ending killer instinct is fine? We got off to a slow start, it happens, I wouldn't read too much into it.

    I have thought Houston was the better overall team and they had home court advantage, so I never thought , and still dont think we will win the series.

    You say that as if that was possible and the players just chose not to. Houston is a good team. Even Miami didn't come out and blowout Charlotte out of the gate today.

    I hope I'm wrong. My problem was that you said it was me stating it as a FACT, when it was my OPINION.

    I think the team that wins four games first will win the series.

    That's a FACT and an OPINION! :cheers:

    Although, the NBA could go back in time and say Houston should get the series because of the blown call that gave Portland Game One. They could declare Houston the winner, even if Portland won four games after the buzzer.

    So, there's that possibility, guize!

    So what is your opinion then? That the Blazers will win in 6 or that the team that wins game 3 win the series? See the problem?

    Physically sick? No.

    Disappointed? Yes, I felt like that for a few minutes and moved on to more important things in life.

    "Moving on to more important things" this afternoon was the therapy I needed. I wrote letters to 80 casting directors to let them know I was back in NYC. I felt much better after doing that. I'm still antsy for tomorrow's game. I'm watching it in my apartment and I think I'll be standing for most of the game. I get keyed in.
