Must win for Rockets

[general35]

Rockets lose tonight and they will be round 1 losers again. i dont think they can win a game 7 in portland. i guess it doesnt matter much because they play the lakers next anyway.

Well, the Rockets probably are the worst matchup for the Lakers.

If it's Lakers v. Rockets (not a shoo-in by any means), it'll be Lakers in 5 or 6, at the most.

 

[Ramathorn]

Actually, Portland could give the LAL problems. LA has trouble up there.

agree, must win for the Rox. Don't agree that Houston is a tough matchup for the lakers since they went 4-0 against them this season. i think.

don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the rockets beat the lakers in 6...Go clutch city, hopefully artest will slap brooks if he takes too many shots again.

Rox will win tonights game easily.

Portland aint that great and they are too young.

Rox 97
Portland 81

 

[Joe Fan]

Perfect outcome.
Rox win.
Aldridge plays great.

I got the point differential exactly right....just off by 6 points on the winning score.

If the Rockets stop brain farting in the 4th quarter in general...But especially as they did against the Lakers this whole year it could be a compelling and surprising series.

The Lakers have smoked the Rockets in the third quarter in all of their meetings.

The first halves have been mostly in favor of the Rockets.
