welcome to NBA
You smell it? You smell it? Playoffs son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of Playoffs in the morning.
The question is...
How can they get away with it?

Blazers have played awful, yet only down 9
Not worried, 2nd half is ours.
I fear for the day Paul Allen is no longer the owner of the Blazers.
He needs to reproduce soon so we have an heir in succession.
the second half turns into a rout
portland by double digits. book it. the time is 8.34

Nothing Says Sore Loser
more than blaming a deficit or a loss on poor officiating. True, there’s been some stupid calls, but we’re not losing the game based on those calls alone. Somebody other than Roy really needs to step it up here. Blaming it on the refs is too easy. The numbers don’t exactly support us so far.

What are the Rockets shooting for the first half? Must come down. And the refusal to call a third foul on Yao is frustrating.
He won't get it. We have to come to accept it

Just got here from a birthday party
it’s 5:46 here in Spain, I’ll be here for the rest of the game and we must win!
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Well, I, for one, am worrying. Seems reasonable given the score.
Blazers just need me to be over here watching
the record for the Blazers when I watch is over 90% :P

But it’s only one game. We will have to see how this thing unfolds.

not to mention the GO connection. All it would’ve cost extra was Blake… poor decision KP

Hello Dum Dum

the blazers need to move the ball more and attack the rim
on defense:
front Yao and live with the other Rockets taking shots and box out better

It's understandable
I mean I am not happy about this half. But the key is recognizing it was a bad half, it takes more than 1 half to win a best of 7 series
Anything?
That’s taking it a bit far This is nearly a 20-point deficit at half. I am as hopeful as any reasonable person, but it’s going to take a miracle to win this one.
This margin is right on the edge of what is possible. Maybe a little too much...
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
They need to mix up the defense on Yao to keep them guessing
Front sometimes, double coverage, single coverage. Make him wonder what is coming.
Give Greg the ball against Yao and force the officials to make a call or at least it will cause Yao to fatigue much faster. Without Yao we can beat them.

We need Notorious O.D.E.N.
"Sometimes I catch myself watching him and he's shooting floaters all-net. And just to watch how he's talking trash. I loved it. I loved every minute of it. Rudy's a competitor." - Brandon Roy
i want to see yao work
he doesnt have good stamina, we gotta try and push it a bit, see if we can get some fast break points happening
And
When Yao and Artest and Battier can punch Roy in the head without a foul.
I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

And let’s go fans, time to cowboy up!

The Blazers have come back from deficits larger than this. There's another half.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie

There are very few teams that can come back from this deficit, even at home.
Fortunately, the Blazers are one of them.
Jerryd Bayless has two emotions: Kill and Win.

PUT BATUM IN NOW

Remember what happened in NO when CP3 went down
I’m just saying, if someone wants to go all Tonya Harding on Yao’s knee… I’m not saying you should do it, but I wouldn’t exactly shed a tear either :P
Why do you think we signed Ruffin?
Cold-blooded killer, right thurr.

I'm not worried...I'm pretty sure the Blazers will get back in the game.
All of Roy’s teammates have disappointed him.
I fear for the day Paul Allen is no longer the owner of the Blazers.
He needs to reproduce soon so we have an heir in succession.
Not against crushing defenses shooting 75% though...
This is a 98% loss at this moment. Adjust to the new reality.
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
Did anybody see how Rose was attacking the basket?
Man I wish Blazers could do that, or at least try.
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.

If it takes one half to mount a lead
It can take one half to erase it.
Think about it logically!!!
The Rockets built an 18 pt lead from scratch.
We can erase it just as equally :)
well not really that exact but the point is still the same
L@kers..... here we come
wheres LeBron when you need him?

I still can't take Avery Johnson seriously.

Since when is the Roy being kicked int he back of the head play
not a loose ball foul?
Not to mention LMA being yanked off the ball.
Let’s all go on a Zebra hunt tonight! Regardless of the outcome!
I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
How did the Hawks last year took Bostons defense to 7 games?
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
