Enjoying these appetizer games, until the grand finale, Rockets at Blazers.
Did enjoy Rose's performance. I was laughing at his interview after the game. He has no emotion at all and looked high as hell.

Wow. Not really fair to criticize a guy who just entered the league. Its not like the Bulls get nationally televised games. I don't remember them having even one. Its not easy talking in front of millions of people across the country.

I'm sure Derrick did interview for the local media all year long. I doubt the millions of people were on his mind considering, I bet, all he could think about was the fact that he just beat the Celtics. You'd think he would have played a little worse if he had stage fright.

Deke guarding Oden is weird. Watching two fifty year olds go at it.

WOW that was a foul. Guess they just won´t call the 3rd on Yao. 2 FT´s for Portland despite being agressive.

Yeah maybe, we´ll see. Houston was great, they shot the ball really well. But the game WAS reffed a bit uneven. Portland was agressive, scored in the paint alot and they get 3 FTA in the whole 1st half? And the refs really went out of their way not to call that 3rd on Yao.

What an interesting opening day of playoffs... 3 of 4 home teams losing.
Although you never count out a comeback against the Rockets anytime, but I don't think Portland can climb back from 20+.

Portland is really a jump shooting team mostly.
Blake, LMA, Outlaw, Roy (he slashes too, I know), Rudy.

They really lack a post-up guy. LMA posts less than Dirk, and that's it. Oden is worthless on O.

I like how the blazers keep shooting 20-22 ft jumpers..they keep bricking and keep shooting. WTF. Try something different?

Oden is having a pretty good game on offense.
Overall it´s an ass kicking sure. But I don´t think the Rockets will shoot 65% from the field every game.
Also 27-7 FTA is a bit lopsided even though the Blazers are mostly shooting jumpers in the 2nd half.

I think now its apparently clear T-Mac deserves a retirement party. It should be televised. Everyone should be laughing at him and he should be wearing clown makeup. Do not throw sharp objects, tomatoes are ok.

this is going to make the Rockets' first round ousting that much more painful for them

I know. But Oden really is AWFUL on O (In the 20-30 Blazers games I've seen this year). He has no O game outside of put-backs.

Portland matches up horribly v Houston. Houston is basically 4-0 v them now if not for a lucky Roy shot.
Perimeter defenders to bother Roy, great defense against a jump shooting team, plus no answer for Yao. Brooks exploited the HELL out of Blake too.
Houston really should get out of the 1st round this year.

The best thing is, Yao only played 24 minutes. Deke played 18. I like that split between the two.

I'm so glad that isn't the Mavs out there.
The regular season mattered.

Agreed. I thought the same thing watching it.
Anyways, I think the Bulls can beat the Celtics and if not, take them all the way to 7. Their youth seems to bother them. They better win as many titles as they can because as that team gets older and some of the other teams in the East keep getting better and are much younger, it will much more difficult.
