Vegas loves Portland to win tonight......and so should YOU!!!

This is probably the only game the Blazers win in this series, gl

lol jlb...Public loves Portland to win this series...and play with lakers but they WONT

Houston ROLLLSS...LARGER THAN LARGER  WAGER...

Portland maybe is due to a win tonight, but Houston will win the series for sure...4-2 Houston

Matchup problem, matchup problem, matchup problem. Houston takes this one SU, methinks.  Steve Blake and Brandon Roy both undersized, not to mention the need to double-team Yao down low. POR will win only if they allow 6 players vs HOU's 5.

Here's why the Blazers will win tonight:

Uh because if they don't there could be like 50 suicides committed in the city of Portland.  This game is about more than basketball, people's lives are on the line here.  If the Blazers deliver another hideous performance workplace productivity in the state could dip to an all-time low.  Nobody wants that do they?  Blazers win. 

 

Possible.  Everybody should be crossing their fingers and toes tonight for a BIG Blazers win so then we can all turn around and immediately unload on Houston (at say -5/5.5) in game three at the Toyota Center.  The same deer in the headlights look the Blazers had in game one will resurface in they're first true playoff road test.  Portland is horrible on the road against good teams, they're almost Utah Jazz' esque.

HOU/PORT OVER 183.5 INSTEAD

ALL

i was leaning portland since yesterday, you have to believe that the young guys had the jitters and just didnt take the best shots. i believe yao showed that he's built to play in those situations, i expect the young kids to come out and play with a lot of heart for portland. brandon roy will play harder.. they will defend yao better... portland is a strong team when they get it all working together. we have to remember that they even beat the lakers at home, so i wouldn't dare count them out.

portland or no play.

Just what we need, more consipiracy theorists. There were some Dirk Muggings last night but the game was called evenly the whole way through. This is nothing like the Dallas game. The spurs needed 38 points from Parker and 4 other starters in double digits to win that game by that margin. Dallas is what, maybe 7 players deep? Houston is 10 deep. You have to count chuck hayes because even though he did not play much last game he is a beast when it comes to defending Aldridge. Aldridge was not much of a threat last game so no need to play chucky too much. Expect that to change tonight. Blazers just might squeak out a W tonight but they will not cover.

Go Rockets!

also, it's going to be scary the amount of people that will be on houston today, if you don't like crowds - take portland. it'll be you, the kid in the steve blake jersey, and the guy in the blazers hat at the ticket window casing in their tickets, while the guy in the yao ming jersey will wonder why he bought it after game 1.

The only way i see the Blazers winning is if the refs come down on Yao Ming. 2 quick fouls & make him sit.

*cashing.

The refs were horrible last night in Mavs game but didnt matter the Spurs made everything. But dont use any this conspiracy theory crap b ecaue the league wants Boston V LA and Chicago nearly came away with another road win and the refs called a very fair game. So get over that talk. On the other hand I do believe I am going to do the same thing I did yesterday. I believe the match up here favors the Rockets so I will play the Rockets and like someone else said in this thread they play D and have a dominant big man and that equals playoff success. I think that portland wiil win a game but like Boston not cover. I dont see how anyone plays Portland cuz looking at matchup Houston is better and getting points. People play Portland strictly on EMOTION.
