    I see Harden leaving all of his balls on the table and going hard. Everything to lose, he needs to make a statement to quiet all the criticism. Blazers need to start attacking early and often, get the crowd involved and hopefully build a big lead (that they won't blow).

    Hopefully we can find a way to attack hardin in the paint with Wesley. Run hardin off screens and such. Matthews/Batum will have to shoulder more of the scoring/playmaking load this game I think.
    Going to end up Quadra-teaming Aldridge.

    Game One knocked them off balance. Game Two knocked them on their ass.

    A Game Three win would put them on life support. I don't see how they could recover.

    I think that Batum needs to step it up more.

    Game 2 -- 3/11 6pts 6as 4reb 0blk 1stl \\ vs Parsons 5/15 15pts 2as 7reb 0blk 1stl

    Game 1 -- 6/10 14pts 3as 9reb 1blk 2stl \\ vs Parsons 10/21 24pts 1 as 1reb 1stl

    Parson's I think is still getting the better of the matchup, at least stat-wise. So his "Best SF in the series" comment still applies..

    So it would be good if Batum could continue to keep Parsons in check, but boost his own production. Specially if Lillard/Mathews have a 30% or less shooting night.

    No we will not have a let down. The league is going to lose a lot of money if the refs don't find a way to prevent the sweep, but the Blazers are laser beam focused on the job at hand. No let down. And you now it, FAMS!

    Don't worry. It's just the official interim draft pre-game game thread. Nothing serious.

    This "head-to-head" matchup (as much as there is such a thing) does not concern me. Batum doesn't have to outplay Parsons. The Blazers have to outplay the Rockets. And Batum is helping us do that.

    How great would just one playoff game be in the Glass Palace?

    Some of the very best memories of my life occurred in that building. And for the record, the MC's 12,666 (or 12,888 depending on the seating configuration) was always louder than the 20-22K Rose Garden.
