It won't be a sweep. Houston's already lost four straight to the Lakers in the regular season and I just don't see them extending the streak to 8 games. Artest and Battier's defense on Kobe will harass him into at least one poor shooting game.

Re: Von Wafer out tonight Think Brent Barry could chase Fernandez around for 20 minutes though? With Wafer, the Rockets have a lot more explosiveness and quickness in the backcourt. Barry can still run the court but he's limited defensively at his age. The Rockets also lose a penetrator on...

Just reported out of Houston per Daryl Morey. Guess we'll see more of Brent Barry tonight. EDIT: Due to back spasms.

A post from CF: "10 years it's been, still can't pass the first round and not this year either. Well it is, do you agree with me? The series is over. The Blazers will win the next 2 games and that's it. Lets keep dreaming on beating the Lakers in the 2nd round, what a f***ing joke. Thank you...

Threads on Clutchfans complaining about Brooks, Artest, lack of a closer, lack of a passing point guard, fans berating other fans for talking about the Lakers prematurely, how important Game 6 is etc. Basically, what you'd expect from a forum of 35000+ members knee-jerking after a loss.

Haha, that was extremely surprising, I doubt we can get that lucky again though. The Rockets tend to panic a lot when time's running out and there's a deficit, and with no clear closer on the team, it's really hard to stop another team's run, like we saw tonight.

I kind of expected this for Houston going in, but that 15-0 run must have deflated Houston's spirits. Let's see if the Rockets can rebound from that. Getting out to a big lead will be key for Houston in Game 6; we just don't play well when down in the fourth quarter.

Air Bowen it is. Congrats on the win guys. Game 6 will now be a must-win for the Rockets. Just watching the way the crowd carried you guys through the 15-0 run, I don't think the Rockets can get another win Rose Garden.

That's because you come in here talking shit. How did you expect them to treat you?

Show some respect. Complain in the Rockets forum. It's because of guys like you that Rockets fans have a bad rep amongst the Blazers fans.

Artest is going to go into chuck mode now.

Don't mind those two, they're likely the same person.

You didn't say anything in this thread before.

Pakman, stop with the shit-talking.
