Wow if this goes to game 7 this series would last 14 days. That's way too long.

It seems like just yesterday that we played you guys in the 09 playoffs and Adelman was your coach. Anyhow best of luck guys, I think this series goes to 6 games at least regardless of who wins. Best of luck, and here's to an injury-free series!

I like the new playoff template, my body is ready. February Dwight + March Harden = Finals

Although both teams bounced back quickly, it's crazy to think the only star from our teams left over from that time is LMA.

Batum was on that team also but he was a rookie, although he did start most of the games.
Still remember Dikembe's career ending because of Greg Oden in that series.

Should be an easy series. The Rockets are better at every position on the floor.

I think T Jones is better than Aldridge. T Jones is the better athlete and has more of the oldschool moves..

Look for Aldridge to float outside as the series moves along.

Can't wait.

Portand wil come and try to punch us in the mouth, can't take this talented team lightly. LMA will get his and likely Lillard, I just don't want guys like Matthews, Mo Willams or Lopez etc going off.

Howard has to dominate to take advantage of their lack of front line depth. And Harden has to play to score and not for the whistle, refs don't really care about contact as much in the PO.

I need guys like Lin, T Jones and the bench to make their bones this playoffs.
