if u think about it, the Rockets have a very talented lineup. they can make some noise in the playoffs ( if they make it)

If we keep shooting like we have been the last four or five games from the outside, I don't think this is winnable for us.

you'd think that rebounding all those bricks would wear an opponent down

+1

-

Keys for the Blazers to win.
*Someone on the Blazers needs to score over 31 points.
*Another Blazer needs to score over 18 points.
*Blazers need to keep up with the Rockets in rebounding.
*GET TO THE FREE THROW LINE!!

Come on Blazers, start another winning streak!!

well, with roy back the blazers should get their composure back.

but again, the offense has to get better, martell & aldridge have to be lethal!

Just have to hope Yao doesn't dominate. Or T-Mac for that matter.

I know it's in the past but damn how could they trade Gay for Battier. Ugh.

Imagine how pissed they were on draft day when we ruined that trade that would have gotten them Roy.

Roy/T-Mac/Yao = Yikes. Gay/T-Mac/Yao = Still scary if they got a PG.

Oh believe me, we are still very much pissed off. First Brandon Roy then Rudy Fernandez. :banghead: Roy/Tmac/Yao that is such a sick lineup.

Someone in this thread said they had a terrible feeling about this one. WHY cause it cannot get much worse then the past 2 games. Detroit was a butt kicking and Indiana is a game that Indiana was begging the blazers to take and instead they played like Garbage and let Indiana have it.

I realize Roy is a HUGE HUGE part of this team but if one player and Jones being out has this much of an effect this does not say much for the rest of the team is many ways. Getting stomped and beaten by Detroit can be forgiven but that Indiana game .... NO Friggin way. I believe us fans do not see our players in the light they deserve and over value them.

I think the biggest example i can think of is Martell Webster and Sergio. I cannot deny they are both fine players but i am starting to doubt if one or both are part of the Long term future of this team.

Good luck guys, should be an interesting game. A big game for both teams that will factor in the playoff seedings. The Rockets have to win to continue with Golden State, while the Blazers have to win to continue with a the Rockets. It's almost like a rat race.

This team can't win without Roy, unless Webster scores 25+ points

ok I thought about it and this is how it's gonna go down. We will win this one. Aldridge will score so much that he will be the player of the game. Jack will commit many turnovers and make numerous attempts at driving to the bask, and will make about half of them. The dunk of the night will go to Webster against Yao or Grady. They will get mad and blame the officiating at the end and we will come out with the win by 5-7 points.
