    It's all house money. Mission 1 is accomplished and tonight's game is just grinding out for the Platinum Achievement Trophy. Loose and Easy and have fun with the Rockets. I think if we come out all smiles and having a good time...Hi-Fives and even tell Houston when they make a good play "HEY, that was damn nice!" we'll totally mess with them and have them frustrated to no end :D

    You have to get greedy. Lillard needs to keep that up in the minds of his teammates. You don't win a series by coasting through a game because you're up in the series. Real champions try to win every game.

    If we win tonight, can you just imagine how loud it will be in PDX on Friday?

    I would rather let HOU out to an early lead then do anything that could let the refs put some BS fouls on our starters. For the first quarter we have to absolutely abstain from reaching, stay stationary on all screens, and keep the arms straight up when contesting a shot. If that results in HOU shooting 60%+ and getting a double-digit lead, then so be it. Better to let them think it's going to be easy, early, then storm back on them. No lead is safe, but we're going to need our starters to be able to play rough at the end of the game.

    I think we'll get Good Mo tonight - 12-18 points. And I highly doubt he'll do it, but I really hope Stotts plays Barton instead of Wright. Although, Wright might be due for a good game - how long has it been?

    A close game tonight tells me this team has a serious shot at winning this series

    If the game isn't close and the Rockets win going away, then I just have visions of the Phoenix Suns playoff series from 2010, and we all know how that turned out.

    Don't get shit on tonight, Blazers

    Really hope the gameplan tonight is to use LA as a decoy and have Lillard and Batum penetrate all night long.

    I just really want to see some combo of Good Mo, On Fire Wes and Agressive Batum. Dame and LMA will get what is needed from them but if 2 of those other 3 players have good game this team gets very hard to beat

    EDIT: Just looked it up and we are 19-5 when Wes scores 20 or more point this year

    God damn I'm excited for tonights game! I havent decided yet, watch at a crowded pub with friends or go to the peace and quiet of my home and yell and scream at my own TV. Two great options. As long as the Blazers win, I can't lose.
