Rockets in 5. Beverley makes Lillard cry.
HCA to be decided. Going to be a fun series.
What's your prediction?
Blazers in 7

i sorta want the blazers so timmytozo will stfu
Rockets in 7, assuming they get HCA..
it, give me Blazers in 6.
Rockets in 6
Blazers in 6
Is Howard 100% btw?
Is Dwight healthy or is the dude playing possum?
Originally thought that Houston was a lock with 5-6. But the more I watch Houston.. the more I get turned away from them. They have the better players, a deeper bench, and more potential... yet they do not play a lick of defense. They make a ton of comebacks in their game... that's not going to happen often in the playoffs.
Blazers in 7.
Rockets sweep in 6
I think the Blazers will meltdown, especially on the road... tough series to call regardless, because of the weird matchups.
Who guards Softridge taking jumpshots from 12ft out?
Can Lopez handle Dwight?
Wes Matthews or Batum on Harden? Who takes Parsons?
Lin gonna get shat on by both Lillard and Mo Williams, is Beverly healthy?
I think Blazers will lose a game at home first, and that could be the series.
Portland has one of the best home court officiating advantages, tbh, which will certainly play a role against a Rockets team that relies heavily on getting to the free throw stripe..
Portland is hoping LMA will destroy Terrence Jones on the offensive end
one thing port is good at besides breaking their own knees, these clowns can flat out shoot...
rockets in 6 or 7. Expect Portland to steal a game (or 2) they had no business of taking, with the lackluster play the rockets have a habit of bringing.
Dame needs to pick it up tho, he's been in a funk lately. Mo otoh is rounding into form. If these two cats gets hot, they're going to make the series really difficult for H-Town.
The rockets haven't been whole for the last month because they have been resting players to make sure they are ready for the playoffs. Lets hope that didn't up chemistry, I don't exactly have a lot of faith in the coaching staff.
McHale has options on LMA because the other guy out there is Lopez. He can easily put Dwight on LMA, and play Asik on Lopez. The risk there is there's no actual rim protector, but outside of Lillard, Portland really is just a jumpshooting team. The other issue is that Dwight isn't used to chasing people around, so definitely isn't ideal.
I think the big question for Portland is which Mo Williams is going to show up. His numbers pretty much consistently drop when the playoffs come around (happened both in Cleveland and Clippers). He might be more effective in this particular series because both teams like to play a fast-paced game, which is atypical for the playoffs.
will refs let them play or they going to bail out harden every time he touches the ball....
i can really see batum, mathews negating whatever is on rockets bench for production
I hope the Blazers pound that ass till it squirts blood.
Put Asik on Aldridge.
Though if Rockets meltdown and lose in 1st round, McHale would be out and that ain't a bad consolation prize. But I want wins.
