In Retrospect

Not to me. In fact, when I heard we were playing (physically tough) Houston, I almost wanted the Rockets to have HCA from the get-go for this very reason. I thought that it might be best for this young Blazers squad to get their playoff feet wet before being face with the pressure of winning at home.

As I had mentioned, HCA can change with one game.....................and it did.

I thought the same thing as well. Hopefully steal one of two on the road instead of having to protect HCA in the first game ever in the playoffs for this team.

Finally, a voice of reason.

Marine "A" storms the beach with a loaded gun and gets shot.

Marine "B" decides to storm the beach with an empty gun, since carrying a loaded gun didn't work for "A".

That about sums up the "logic" of this thread.

You do realize that Portland no longer holds the HCA, right? Yeah, that happened during one star-struck butt whipping. There's your logic, old man.

I was wrong. I have a strong feeling HCA is gonna be HUGE afterall.

Game 7 in our house makes the series winnable -- still unlikely, but possible.

If the next game was in Portland, and 7 was in Houston... not so much.

Game 7 is what you want HCF for. Other games, the home court is not huge and has not been so far this year. Game 7, HCF if overwhelming.

You always want HCA because it affords you a slip up at home, and gives you the biggest advantage in a tough series...game 7 in your house.
