Now that Bogut is out I wish we were playing GSW instead. Oh well, we have played each other in the first round a couple years ago so it would be fun to build a rivalry.

I've always wondered why so many rockets fans wanted us over GSW. They may have been a more consistent shooting team this season, but they are much less dynamic than portland. Meaning they lack a good back to the basket game, and their perimeter defense is anything but good.

I think that is one thing that brings all fan bases together, the unrelenting never ending hatred for Fisher. We had a trade that included him a couple years back and he pretended to retire so he could not play in Houston and go play for OKC. I also think he did something similar with Dallas. We have a special kind of hatred for him.

Don't forget Fisher used his sick daughter as an excuse to get released from his contract with Utah so he could sign back with the Lakers.

Even more sickening, the national media applauded him for it.

Yeah that's what i meant when i was referring to Dallas. That's a pretty low thing to do.

Most are just scared of Curry's shooting. Plus they had a better defense this year and we (along with everyone) would rather play the team with a worse defense. That's why i would assume you would rather play us over anyone else too.

It's because, with Bogut, they're the best defense in the western conference and hence better than Houston (added to that, Iggy has caused problems for Harden before), and Portland is well...

Back to the basket is also the least threat for Houston, it can be a problem for Jones, but Dwight and Asik are both exceptional post defenders, and so is Harden (his one positive on defense, i'd even say Stotts trying to have Matthews post him up contributed to the loss the last game, no guard in the nba can post him)

Define best... Were they the best at not having the highest statistical defensive numbers? Or best at wearing their socks high?

Do you have any stats to back that up?

So....Nic should start singing "I'm a little Teapot" in French to destroy Houston minds on the court while everyone else trys hard to get wet? So confoozed. I better empty my mind or find my cup or something.

Ouch. They know how to play defense and have home court advantage. We haven't figured out how to play defense
the whole year. Houston in 5.

Since the AS break, the Blazers have a Drtg of 104 against playoff teams. The Rockets have a Drtg of 106.
 
Blazers are going to shock the world!
 
I can imagine that intensity we see in the last quarter frequently, being present much earlier. Assuming we can avoid significant foul trouble, I think we surprise the Houston fanbase.

Those backwards fucks will claim that they "knew Houston would lose". This roxfan guy is good people, but there are so many ignoramus' in that fan base.
 
I'm watching the Pels play the Rockets. Someone needs to call Monty Williams, because he has this team figured out. The Pels are playing scrubs, and they're beating Houston (albeit without Harden and Parsons). They should have won a few nights ago.
 
Pelicans win! Let's hope the Rockets get used to losing.

Maybe Nico can get some help from Monty; they seemed to be very close friends.
 
Jones & Howard are going to try to tier out Aldridge and if they are successful it will be a long series for the Blazers.
