The Lakers are better then us but if the refs are on our side and Gasol isn't allowed to hold LMA all day long, I like our chances.

Even if Gasol weren't allowed to hold LMA all day long, they'd still pummel you guys in 4-5 games.
They're that much better. C'mon get real.
On the other hand, if you had a healthy Oden...

There better then us but not to the point your making it. I think its you that needs to get real.
Even with how the reffing is gonna go if we get the lakers in the first round it'll be a 6 or 7 game series.

Brandon Roy has been a non-factor in the latter part of the season. If this is the best we can expect out of him, then the Lakers are hands-down better. Sure, the Lakers tend to get calls and the Blazers don't (especially at the Staples Center, and even more especially in the playoffs), but Portland just doesn't have the combination of playoff experience and talent to pull this off, barring something really extraordinary (like Roy returning to form, Camby playing like it's ten years ago, and Gasol not being allowed to hold and flop in his defense against Aldridge).

Well being a bit angry at the you hinting at the possible sweep (Sex Panther) I guess I didn't explain myself very well. Getting swept in the first round is very very hard to do in the west. In the last 6 years it has happened three times. LA swept Denver in 2008, Dallas swept Memphis in 2006, Pheonix swept Memphis in 2005. 2005/2006 Memphis was a decent team but very soft and not built to succeed in the playoffs. 2008 Denver Nuggets focused there offense on an aging and not that effective Iverson who refused to let himself believe he was on the decline.
I think the Blazers at the moment are a much better team then the three I mentioned above. So that is why I was a little angry with the assumption being we would get swept by the Lakers and lumped with Memphis/aging Iverson Denver.
Lakers win the series but its not going to be as easy as some lakers fan think it will be.
