Man I fucking want this one. They were so close in the last two, I think they can pull it off. Let's hope that Houston remains cursed in the postseason. This is going to be tough and a lot will depend on the officials. But if some out our guys can step up and Roy shakes the flu, this team can rock the rockets.
 
I'm already pumped for this game. I'm hoping Yao is starting to wear down, but I feel Blake and Roy may be also.

Aldridge is just a freak. He never looks very tired form what I can tell.
 
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.
 
C'mon, Blazers!! Let's shock the NBA!!!!!

Roy...wearing down????? If he's wearing down after 5 freakin' games then we are screwed for the next decade. Was MJ ever worn down? Kobe worn down? LeBron worn down? He needs to step the heck up and be the man we need him to be on Th. LA too.

More like his first time playing this many games in a season. It's not just after 5 games.

He still scored 25pts.

After missing the playoffs for 6 seasons, I was a little worried that the Blazers would be 4 and out. This has been a very good series so far. Your guys are so god dammed physical it's hard for our 'soft' players, but I think that this is a good experience. And, unlike this morning, I am starting to think the Blazers actually have a shot.

I think you are right about an early lead. For both teams, I think an early lead may seal the deal. These are two tired clubs, and although the Blazers play good from behind on our home court, that's not the case on the road.

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.
 
Yes. I want us to be that 19th team. We can do this.

Fully agree. Game 1 was like a crash course in playoff intensity basketball, and it couldn't have come against a better teacher. Win or lose, this series is providing lessons that our guys will take with them for the rest of their careers. Brings a little tear to my eye...
 
I wanted to read clutchfans to hear their reaction on the game(I can probably guess pretty well what it is), but you have to be logged in, and I'm not going to create a name on there.

Oh well.
 
Game SIX BABY!!! I'm bummed I couldn't watch the game tonight. Actually, both wins I haven't been able to watch. Hmmmm. Maybe I should take a pass on game six. :devilwink:
 
Good luck to the Blazers! It'll be a heck of a game. But coming from a die-hard Rockets fan. I've been through the up and downs. The Dallas series which went 7 games, the Utah series that went 7 games. This is our moment, we need this! We've always lost these so called "game clinching" games that could possibly send us in the 2nd round over and over. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets totally break down in the end. But I'm expecting a neck to neck, toe to toe Game 6. Hopefully, the Rockets finally get over the hump and win this. I would hate for this series to go back to come back to Portland. We need to win this game, and I expect a full fought 48 minutes game. Good luck to ya fellas!

Thanks, and same to you. I hear you about the 1st round struggles for the Rockets -- you all have had a rough stretch in the postseason, and have certainly paid your dues. If you were playing against any other Western conference opponent I'd be casually hoping for you to advance. Of course, for selfish reasons I'm hoping Houston's curse continues, but if your guys do come out on top I will curse loudly and then wish 'em the best.

Here's to balanced officiating and no more injuries!

:cheers:

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.
 
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 RA for keeping on playing AB . AB can score. AB really has the potential to be the next Tony Parker. Well, kiss my friggin ass...

Fire RA and his useless coaching crew. It's pathetic. Too bad the ownership if full of a bunch of pussies. What a nightmare, give me a break already...

Why I have to waste time to watch this sh!t and with the lifetime low to put up with these craps. Fans have their own life and they paid money to buy tickets, they spent time to the game and you can't provide with only craps to depress them.

I know that's hard for you fans to realize, because you expect this team to shock the world every goddamn time,you think Yao Ming is god, but you need to wake up and smell the rancid coffee. This team is ****. You're only masking the real problems that You know, you spend the whole beep season complaining about injuries and T-mac's out and the Rafer trade. Then Yao was fronting and you complain about his poor play and then when the Rockets actually get outworked and outplayed, you start complaining refs. Why the **** are you complaining? You knew what this team is and yet it doesn't change the fact you're actually surprised they are getting owned by Blazers or didn't compete with the Lakers.

This team sucks, I'm really so pissed and this is ****. I'm done"
 
Honestly, tell them not to be so scared going into game 6, because I'm not as confident in a Blazers win as they are, that's for sure.

I think they can win, but I'm not exactly thinking it's a done deal at all either.

Game 7 is a different story. If it gets to a game 7, there's no doubt in my mind the Blazers would win that.

Holy crap, that is amazing material! Is it me, or does this sound EXACTLY like some of the more (ahem) vocal complainers here on S2? I mean, replace some of the names and specific complaints, and I would believe that it was coming straight from this board after game 4... Could it be that ALL whining, overstated rants for each and every team are actually written by one dark and bitter individual? Gasp! It's like the DaVinci code of sports forums! :shh:
 
I think Portland has a solid chance to win game 6. Game 1 they were completely unprepared to play a playoff intensity game and were crushed. But I really think Portland has outplayed Houston over the past four games. Portland's wins were by relatively comfortable margins (the last minute or two were really about determining the final margin, not who would win) while Houston's wins were right down to the wire. With a bit more poise, Portland should have won game 4 and could have won game 3. They got rattled in game 4 and basically threw away a win.

I think that bodes well for their chances to win a game 6. They're playing Houston well, they're either winning or putting themselves in position to win. They know they can play right with Houston in Houston. If they play like they did in game 4 but close the game with more mental toughness, they'll win the game. And then I definitely like Portland's chances in game 7.

Right now, I think Houston is the favourite, but only by a little. If Portland can take game 6, then Portland becomes a relatively strong favourite. Portland dug itself a hole, but has a surprisingly decent chance to escape it.

It's called "bandwagoners" They don't realize we still have 2 full games to get past the first round! I still believe Rockets can do beat Portland in 6, but it'll be extremely tough to win Game 7!
 
Seen after game 4 somewhere in cyberspace...

"6 years it's been, and now we can't even win a playoff game on the road. Well it is over, do you agree with me? The series is over. The Rockets will win one of the next 3 games and that's it. Lets keep dreaming on beating the Lakers in the 2nd round, what a f***ing joke.

Thank you McAsshole for keeping on playing Travis. Travis can score. Travis really has the potential to be the next Michael Jordan. Well, kiss my friggin ass...
