    Most Rocket fans are good fans...but the few often ruin it for the rest of us. Uploading pics to an album but it is SLOW as hell.

    Rocket fans and Blazer fans are not that different in what both franchises have had to endure over the years i.e. chronic injuries to star players, bad coaching, and supstars not ballin when it counts the most. I am confident their will be a James Harden sighting tonight! Of course I have felt that way for the two past games.

    Hoping "Clutch City" will be born again tonight! 20 yrs ago another PF went balls out against the Rockets (Sir Charles). Ended well then...let's do it again for old times sake!

    This has been one of the best series in the NBA in a long time. I am at a loss for words in the maner in which the Rockets lost game 4. I do believe the Rockets will win game 5 to push it to a six game series. Every game thus far has had the ups and downs that will age a fan too quickly.

    Repped. Both teams in this series, win or lose, can hold their heads high. I look at the intensity and the quality of the basketball being played in this series, and can't imagine that both teams would not be leading in a series against any other team. SAS, OKC, LAC, MIA, IND, whoever. '

    Morey has it right. Four coin flips: Tails; tails; heads; tails.

    Nope--Thanks to their poor defense, they'd be losing to any other Western Conference team, remember. Jon Barry said so.

    Well it took me awhile to get back on...Congrats on the series win! <.9 seconds> will live with Houstonians for all eternity. It is going to take a while for this one not to hurt. No disrespect to Portland but I thought this was a great chance for the Rockets to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The Rockets swept the Spurs in dominating fashion and played very well against Portland. Definitely pulling for the Blazers the rest of the way and I hope Aldridge and Lillard keep their hot shooting going.

    Portland vs. Houston rivalry is just getting started.

    I was thinking about it, and man if you guys would have gotten Phil Jackson you would have been fucking unbeatable. Your team would be amazing with the triangle offense. You essentially have Kobe/Shaq, which the Lakers got three titles out of.

    A poor man's Kobe and a poor man's shaq. And the Lakers were not unbeatable.

    I didn't say they were. I'm saying the Rockets would be. If Phil could get Harden and Dwight playing together, I think they could be the best team in the league.

    Man, that was an amazing series, and not just because we won. Those two teams could not have been more evenly matched. I'm not sure I could have taken much more of that kind of tension. And I do think that if Lillard misses that shot, we lose Game Seven.

    B2B, if you are on clutchfans, will you pass on my congratulations to the fans on that site? I've been banned (for what reason, I don't know), and I wanted to thank them for their thoughts on the series and the quality interactions I had with all of them. Houston is still one of my favorite teams, and if you would have been facing SA, I would have been rooting for you.

    Maxiep I am on clutchfans under MLRS (military thing). I mostly read the threads on clutchfans but will contribute from time to time. Our owner came out and said we will add a significant free agent next year (Love, Melo, or Rondo).

    Bottom line is unless we get someone who can defend the perimeter or get Harden to play some semblance of defense the Rockets are going to struggle in the playoffs.

    Should be an interesting off season for Houston fans.

    Love would be awful for your team.... Out of that list, only Rondo looks good. Houston doesn't have a problem with offense. They need vamp up their d.
