Houston won 2 games against Portland this season and Portland won one. One of the games Houston won was only 98-94 so Houston didn’t own Portland this season If you look at both of their records this season, they’re almost identical (home record, road record, overall record). Portland is also very big in the frontcourt so they can throw Pryzbilla and Oden at Yao. If the 2 teams faced up head to head in the playoffs, who would guard Aldridge? Scola can’t guard Aldridge!
Pryz and Oden are retards and are EXTREMELY foul happy, thus resulting in them not being able to body up yao, resulting in yao running train on those nubs. Aldridge will be guarded by a combination of Artest, Scola, Landry, Chuck Hayes. But we really don’t care about containing Aldridge, he can go off all he wants, and he probably will. The key is keeping Brandon Roy in check while he attempts to take over the game when no one else is getting going.
And let’s look at the Rockets head to head against Portland…
Game 1 of the year: November 6 at Portland, Loss 99 to 101 on a freak shot by Roy. If you put the Blazers in that situation 1000 more times, Brandon Roy will make that shot 1 more time. It was an impossible shot to end a great game full of ridiculous highlights.
Game 2 of the year: February 24 in Houston, Win 98 to 94. Ron Artest went 5-13, A Brooks went 8-20, and Yao went 6-15. I will take a win with those terrible numbers ANY day. If anything, that was a bad game by the Blazers to lose because the Rockets were obviously sucking that night…
Game 3 of the year: April 5 in Houston, Win 102 to 88. Nothing to say here.
Now tell me WHERE you see the Blazers have any edge here against the Rockets?? Maybe you should check some stats before you try to throw out numbers at us(me in particular)…
AGAIN, the Blazers are TOO young. And you can quote me on this, “The Blazers WILL win at least two ships in the next 7 years.” They are super talented and just a trade or two and some more development away from reaching the next level.
In the next two years Brandon Roy will be in the MVP considerations and they will only be getting better…
