    Objectivity is considered trolling around here these days

    maxiep, the whole second half of the season, you were thoroughly optimistic about the team no matter what and now, suddenly, with our team up 3-2 going home for Game 6, you're freaking out. Do you know when the last time a team went 3-0 on the road in a series? Like 19 years ago. Houston wasn't going to roll over, but we're in a great position right now.

    We haven't had a single game where we've been in control. Not one.

    The NBA can taste this dramatic comeback and they want more!

    I didn't see that and if you talked to the players and knew them personally, I bet that you wouldn't find them satisfied. Wes has said from the beginning of the series that every game is must win. These guys want town more than we want them. There is much more on the line for them. I really think you need relax in here.

    It's because despite having the series lead, the Rockets have been in control of all of the games but game 2. They've just shit the bed in crunch time and gave up big leads in the 4th.

    It's not like the Blazers are going out there and outplaying them from the beginning and showing they're the better team. It's taken them some miraculous plays to win the games they did.

    Didn't Washington just do it this year?

    When was the last time before that?

    At the beginning of the playoffs, did anyone pick us to win in 4 or 5 games? If not, stop bitching that we haven't done it.

    Playoff History Lesson

    Bulls were up 3-1 in the 1993 NBA Finals. And MJ guaranteed they'd win the title at home in Game 5 but they lost. Had to go to Phoenix for Game 6 where they closed it out.

    Bulls were up 3-0 In 1996 NBA Finals and it still took the Bulls six games to win the title.

    Bulls were up 3-1 in 1998 NBA Finals and they lost Game 5 at HOME. Had to go win it in Utah.

    My POINT: even teams led by MICHAEL FUCKING JORDAN, the best player ever, have struggled to win playoff series.

    This is the way it goes. You win some, you lose some. We have the upper hand. Let's be happy. Being negative in here won't improve our chances of winning. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

    You're right. Before that, I think it was 1995, Houston vs SA

    It would be physically impossible for Barton to do any worse than Mo guarding Lin. In fact, air could guard Lin and be just as effective as Mo.

    It is a falsehood that Houston has controlled most of the games. There have been 20 quarters of play. Houston won 10. Portland won 10. There have been three overtimes. Houston won 1. Portland won 2.

    We actually got off to a decent start tonight. We were up 21-17 and then things just fell apart a little the end of first and beginning of second.
