    If you work in retail and you're in Portland, it should be a ghost town.

    Time to come out at the tip off and go all Mike Tyson on this team. Bite off an ear and spit it at their bench. Crush the heart out of them and show no mercy! Anybody else ready for a serious blow out win tonight?

    A better start (seemed a little hyped getting behind 9-0 early)

    A better finish (outscored 9-0 at the end of OT)

    Better closers (LA missed his last 6 shots and after success driving the ball to the basket, the entire team settled for jumpshots after getting a 4 point lead late. Any one basket or FTs probably wins that game)

    Rebounding (they pretty much were owned on the boards for most of the game)

    I expect them to come back and win game 3 and finish in 6.

    Rockets took the early lead in each of the 3 games played so far. Will this be the game where we finally come out strong?

    I'm nervous as hell, too. The difference between 3-1 and 2-2 is the entire series.

    It's time for Stotts to really earn his paycheck and find an answer to McHale's small lineup.

    If he doesn't..... not good imo

    The Blazers are up 2-1, but I don't feel good about it at all. These teams are evenly matched and the Rockets could easily be the team up 2-1.

    These games are going to come down 1 or 2 possessions every game and the Blazers need to execute.

    Agreed. Although it would be scary as hell, though, it's crazy to think we could lose the next two games and still have a chance to win the series.
