Im kind of pissed ill be at work for the first quarter. I hope we are slow and I can hide in a breakroom and catch the game.

Who is ready for first home win of the series? We better win, my blood pressure has been through the roof during this series.

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?

 

[TBpup]

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.

 

[Strenuus]

I expect a win.

This game can't get here fast enough!

 

[THE HCP]

AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH! My thread is still rendering!!!! 63%......64%........

 

[B-Roy]

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?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Hey lets get Martel Webster back next season!

 

[KingSpeed]

Washington doing what I hope we do tonight.

Pat Beverley stayed back at hotel, missed shootaround, was not feeling well. Resting up for game 4 tonight

Im in south carolina and our business tends to be at night when people get drunk and get arrested. Especially on full moons. I hope its not a full moon tonight and everyone takes a cab

Who's officiating tonight?

You're in SC? Nice! Repped for being a Blazer fan 3,000 miles away!

Note to self: Pay hotel employee who gave Beverley food poisoning.

 

[KingSpeed]

4.5 hours til game time. I'm nervous. What do you guys think? Are we gonna come out like Washington and Golden State? I would love to blow out the Rockets for a game.

 

[Darkwebs]

Who's officiating tonight?

Ken Mauer, Ed Malloy and Eric Lewis

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

 

[RoyToy]

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.

 

[KingSpeed]

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

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.

 

[BBert]

I really thought we were going to win the last game. What a disappointment.

Now I'm nervous.

 

[KingSpeed]

I can't remember who said it but I agree that I'd rather lose game 3 and win game 4 than the other way around. After all, the Rockets trailed OKC 0-3 last year and forced a Game 6.

Up until last year I lived in bend since the 2nd grade. I bleed red. Niners/blazers baby.

The only way that happens is if we get hot from 3 like we did a few times this year.

...standing room only for $34, I can't complain regardless! Was really hoping to witness the sweep...oh well, at least the Rose Garden is going to be electric tonight!

If you sit at a playoff game you dont deserve the ticket anyway.

Damn right!
