Dude, I am impressed by the Bulls. Win or lose, they will go into next season as a contender. They are young, and Rose is the real deal.
Now, back to the Rockets, four point lead.

I realy wish the officiating wouldn't be so one sided in the fourth quarter of these games.

And why is Adleman not calling a fucking timeout. Are you fucking serious?

Fucking bullshit. Ron Artest needs to never shoot the ball again.
Blazers by 11. See you on Thursday, FTS.

Lame. I hate your announcers. I actually hate NBA TV for allowing the hometown announcers to be heard nationally. Pay someone from TNT to do the game. I was about to break my TV.
It's all good. We'll win Thursday. We just want to do it in front of our fans.
I love our announcers, thanks. I was just glad to see a game where the referees called the game well and it was just down to basketball. It was refreshing.
You beat us twice by a combined 4 points in Houston. Don't expect another win. See you guys in Portland on Saturday. Bring kleenex.

Thanks for remindng me to bring Kleenex. I have been a little runny in the nose. We beat you in Portland by 30, so I like our chances to win one of two.
You beat a team that has never been in the playoffs by thirty. We handled you easily at home the other games. Besides, most of your points came in garbage time in the second half. You could hardly beat us at home, only managing to squeak through by a single point last time out. Momentum is on Portland's side. I like our chances.

A team with no pressure on it. All the pressure in this series is on us. And you had two chances to get home court back, you failed both times.
You won by single digits both times.
We had a lead in the fourth quarter. But hey, keep relying on 15-0 runs. They happen all the time in the playoffs.
By one of by a hundred, a win is a win.
0-4 in Houston this year. I like your chances of having a tee time for Friday morning.
No pressure? You have no idea how much pressure fans here put on our team. It's our only professional team, so it's their success that we depend upon. No pressure? We had 20,000 show up to a pre-playoff rally. That's pressure. Everyone was talking about how they had no experience and would fold come crunch time. That's pressure. Aside from that initial game, we've responded well.
We had a ten point lead, then Brooks hit a couple of threes from the parking lot in game two. We handled you guys easily in that game. Tonight, we won by 11. That's two digits.
You had a lead of four, your biggest of the night. That was the only time you were ahead all game, save for it being 9-6 in the first quarter.
I'd be much more confident with a win by 100.
There's a first time for everything, eh mate?

The alleviates pressure. You know they are behind you, no matter what. If we lose, we risk alienating fans, and destroying Yao's career.
Sounds a lot like Blake and Fernandez in games 3 and four. You see, it works both ways.
We had fourth quarter leads. That means you didn't handle anything easily. The only easy game was game one.
So, what you're saying is that we had a lead in the fourth and then you went on a miracle 15-0 run? I agree then!
If only you could score 100.
There is. Like a first playoff series loss for Brandon Roy.
Oden will be crushed by the entire nation if we don't play well. Roy has a chance to really get some attention, or he could sink into the unknown with a loss. There's loads of pressure.
The thing is, that it was close at the end before those shots. You guys just returned fire. Portland was ahead by 10 with a minute left in game two.
You were ahead by two baskets with eight minutes left. We took control after that. When you're winning by 6-12 points for 40 minutes in a game, it's an easy win.
Miracle run? That's what Portland has been doing all year, friend. It's normal.
We have chalupas nearly every home game, mate.
There will never be a playoff series win though, for a team with Tracy McGrady on it.

Roy and Aldridge are both stars because of this series, win or lose. Oden won't get crushed until you guys fail next year. Hey, since there's no more Jailblazers, can we call you the Failblazers now?
In Game three, Steve Blake hit three threes in the last minute of the game. We were up by 8 with a minute to play.
No, an easy win is when you're up by 20 at half time and then expand it in the second half. An easy win is when Yao Ming doesn't have to play the second half. When you are losing at any point in the fourth quarter it is a hard fought victory.
So, then you're saying your luck is running out.
Probably on organic soy shells with soy beans and vegetarian meat. Fucking hippies.
I don't see T-Mac with a jersey. Let's look at all the championship success on the Blazers. OK, done.
I heart you, fromthesouth. You're fun to argue with. I would respond, but I'm home sick and don't feel well.
