Game Thread: SERiES THREAD:HOUSTON ROCKETS VS PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS

[True Lakers Fan]

I would love to smell a sweep, but I expect Houston to take one in Portland

Mchale got outcoached this game.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

This series is done.....Can't see Portland losing 2 out of 3 possible home games

If you are Portland - you will be happy happy happy to get one of two wins in Portland and take a commanding lead

You don't think it's possible that Howard was simply over-rated to begin with and that Shaq Oneal was right about him a few years ago?

 

[RobToxin]

In both 4-5 match ups, the road team has won the first two games.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

HOWARD is probably the least likeable player in the NBA.


I admit that I am enjoying seeing this complete playoff flop from him two years in a row.

No if you're Portland you want the sweep. You don't want to come back to Houston for a game 5 and possibly lose that game which would put all the pressure on you in that game 6

But I want a sweep!

Seriously, 1-1 in Portland is expected, unless Houston just completely implodes. It feels good to be a Blazers fan right now, and I have not had that feeling in quite a long time.

GO BLAZERS!!

LAMARCUS = MVP!!! Please stay!!!!

Even if he is, it doesn't change the fact that Kevin McHale is a terrible coach.

Except that if anyone is absolutely flopping it is actually more Harden than Howard.

Hopefully, yall stay good when the Lakers get back on top so we can have those epic battles again.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

It should be a sweep.


Nothing about Harden, Howard, or McHales suggests they have some inner strength.

 

[RobToxin]

Road teams/lower seeds are 9-7 so far in the playoffs.

No question, but I think we have to be honest - as much as I hate Howard, I do think Houston is good enough to get one win. Their biggest weakness is when Lin takes over and starts using his brain

 

[WhiteMamba]

ya. We shall see. They appear to be a team that may just fold like a cheap suit at this point.

Portland and the Rose Garden is going to be ROCKING.

 

[bksballer89]

I don't why everyone is so focused on Dwight....He did his part tonight.

If you want to blame everyone you should be looking at Harden, Parsons, and Lin

 

[Kold]

Harden is gonna get blame, but Howard is gonna get destroyed if/when Houston loses this series
