    I have counteracted Kingspeed's audacity by combining the ultimate powers of sevenup and a cheeseburger for this game. In addition to some sun chips and good karma stored up this is pretty much an unstoppable force that can erase any bad karma brought on.

    Blazers will trail by 17 early and then come storming back. Frye will score 12 in garbage time.

    This is not a team we can afford to give a 17 point lead to.

    Agreed - and I'd much rather lead from the opening tip all the way to the final buzzer.

    We gave a 19 point lead to SA and came back and throttled them!

    Unless the Spurs and Rockets changed jerseys and cities, then your fact means nothing. The Houston Rockets are not a team we can afford to give a 17 point lead to.

    The Blazers have lost 10 of their last 11 games in Houston, but nearly rallied from 17 points down to win here on Feb. 24. The Rockets went 6-for-6 from the free-throw line in the final 21 seconds of that one to win 98-94.

    But the young Blazers, in the playoffs for the first time since 2003, have restored confidence after their Game 2 performance.

    “Everything’s going to carry over to the games in Houston,” Aldridge said. “Now we know what we have to do.”

    So you'd rather have the team start out in a bad spot, and have to use a ton of energy to make up that difference?

    Not every game needs to be a comeback, and it's probably better for the team if it isn't. This isn't Hollywood. Stop picking single events and trying to make them into an infallible rule, and repeatable strategy.

    No. I'd rather us lead wire to wire and win by 40. But I wasn't saying my fantasy. I was saying my prediction. And I was only having fun.

    Too late now. You're going to need to perform the quadruple turn-around followed by the three bark woof call with the standard accompaniment in each hand (1 roll of toilet paper, and 1 steak knife, preferably skewering something).
