[lil_penny]

good thread i was just about to make one myself lol... rip city vs. clutch city

[Double-Up]

Should be a good game, here's hoping for a Rocket's win. :toast

[Lars]

Go Rockets!

[sook]

Hopefully we won't anger the lucky charms again

[DeadlyDynasty]

Greg Oden's too old to keep up w/ Yao

[sook]

Greg Oden's too old to keep up w/ Yao

Yea he looks like he's deke's age wtf is up with that :nope

[Rogue]

an unproven on.1 draft vs. a former no.1 draft who is already proven overrated, ideal matchup.

[sook]

LMFAO!!! I agree with you though yao is fucking over rated as hell. He is the kind of guy that puts up good stats and in reality is not helping the team at all.

Btw rick PUT ARTEST ON ROY. Artest has molested Roy every time he gets switched on him

[Lars]

Roy to the locker room.

[sook]

Greg Oden seems like a really humble guy. Hope it works out for him and FFS rick just put Artest on Roy

[Lars]

It will be a long game for Portland if both Joel and Greg are in foul trouble.

[Lars]

Well that was an ugly sequence.

[Double-Up]

Rockets should be praying to play the pathetic little blazers in the first round.

No doubt we are.

[sook]

Yea and Tlong is praying for us apparently. Hope it works out both ways :lol

[sook]

Tlong has water on the brain... believe me!!! This Blazers team is a Utah carbon copy, but soft as a babies ass. Expect them to get man handled in the playoffs no matter who they play.

:lol:lol:lol

[sook]

This just wrong they are grabbing Yao evertime. Pryzbilla is a piece of shit and he flops before the rockets even get down the court. I thought the NBA fined that crap now? How are you going to fall when no body is around you?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Yao gives Oden the facial!

[Bob Lanier]

G. Oden 5 minutes, 4 fouls, 2 points and a string of zeroes.

[ginobili's bald spot]

G. Oden 5 minutes, 4 fouls, 2 points and a string of zeroes.

The next Bill Russell ladies and gentlemen.

[sook]

LMFAO they hammer Yao again no call this shit is getting ridiculous

[dirk4mvp]

Sick dunk by Wafer.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Sick dunk by Wafer.

took the words out of my mouth...verbatum

[sook]

wafer holy shit!

[Lars]

Wafer shows flashes of brilliance, I think if he found the right system he could be really good.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Yao is making Oden look like the 44-year old he is

[tlongII]

We didn't shoot well enough in the 4th quarter. Oh well. We should be able to beat Houston in the playoffs easily if we match up.

[Lars]

We didn't shoot well enough in the 4th quarter. Oh well. We should be able to beat Houston in the playoffs easily if we match up.

I still don't see how you feel like the Blazers match up well with the Rockets.

[Double-Up]

We didn't shoot well enough in the 4th quarter. Oh well. We should be able to beat Houston in the playoffs easily if we match up.

Yea right. No surprises here, Rockets just made some shots and the Blazers didn't...lol. It's called defense fool.

[sook]

Lucky charms prevailed!

I will use them the next game, Rafer is going to bring some bad juju to the building because he is still upset about being traded. I wouldn't be surprised if he had voodoo dolls to make us lose vs the lakers

[DeadlyDynasty]

We didn't shoot well enough in the 4th quarter. Oh well. We should be able to beat Houston in the playoffs easily if we match up.

i'll say it again: your team drops trow and bends over on the road

[The Franchise]

We didn't shoot well enough in the 4th quarter. Oh well. We should be able to beat Houston in the playoffs easily if we match up.

It will be a sweep if we meet in the playoffs. I couldn't be any happier if we got the Blazers in the first round.

[Kai]

God, I'd love to meet the Blazers in the playoffs.

[Indazone]

Yao Ming owning little Greg Oden like we all knew he would.

[Roxsfan]

We didn't shoot well enough in the 4th quarter. Oh well. We should be able to beat Houston in the playoffs easily if we match up.

dude, seriously I'm not really sure if you are serious or playing around or heck maybe you're really retarted b/c there is NO way the rox lose to the blazers in the playoffs..........

[robbie380]

We didn't shoot well enough in the 4th quarter. Oh well. We should be able to beat Houston in the playoffs easily if we match up.

so do you also think you guys won in portland? how long did your timekeeper give roy to shoot?

[The Franchise]

so do you also think you guys won in portland? how long did your timekeeper give roy to shoot?

Just give him that victory. He has to base his nonsense on something. :lol

[Indazone]

Bitchslap Baby!

Greg Oden wasn't on the court much in his first meeting with Yao. The backup to Przybilla, Oden played a little more than 11 minutes Sunday. When he did match up with Yao, it was no contest.
"You definitely learn how you have to play different players differently," Oden said. "He's strong, he's big and he has a good touch. It definitely shows where I'm at."
Late in the third quarter, Yao missed a hook shot over Oden before grabbing his own rebound and wowing the crowd with his dunk that put Houston ahead 69-60. Oden got four fouls trying to slow Yao.

[Indazone]

4 Freaking fouls in 11 minutes LMAO
