Hey everyone, just want to say hello to the Blazer's fans out there and tell you that you are welcome here. Just a few ground rules and statements about this site:
1. We don't really have ground rules. Dave, Tom and I run the site, we have a good group of people that post here. We have probably deleted a total of 5 posts since we came to SBNation. I hope that number doesn't go up. We also all love Blazer's Edge, it's a fantastic site where we go to read about a great up and coming team. It's not necessarily what we aspire to be, only because we simply don't have the time to make this site into it. But if we stumble upon it, we'd all be happy about it.
2. Cussing is allowed here. Cussing AT someone is not. That said, I'm all for joking around, just don't cross the line (that goes for Rockets fans too). Where is the line you ask? It's where I make it.
3. In general you will find that Rockets fans are pretty respectful of the Trailblazers and their fans. That doesn't mean all Rockets fans are, as I'm sure all Portland fans aren't model citizens either. If you have a problem with something or someone, feel free to email me, my email is at the bottom of the site.
4. Oddly I think the Rockets will win this series, but that the Trailblazers would have a better shot of beating the Lakers, funny how matchups work.
5. This will be a hard fought series. One that will likely go 6-7 games. The teams are evenly matched. Anyone that says "Rockets suck" or "Trailblazers suck" is an idiot. I won't argue that. I'll just call you an idiot. As Rockets fans we think, and I beleive I can speak for a majority of us, that the Rockets match up very well with Portland. And with that being the case, you may see people saying that the Rockets should win this series. Please don't take it personally. It's professional basketball where players make millions of dollars to throw a ball through a hoop, and in some cases, say Chuck Hayes for example, to simply run up and down a court and to chase the ball and stop others from doing that.
6. I freaking love the play-offs, one of our teams is going to get over an epic hump this year, and then promptly get smacked around by the Lakers. Let's enjoy this series.
7. I mean this with the utmost respect for your team and fans: I hope the Rockets kick the crap out of the Blazers. I hope you never want to come back here because the Rockets put that bad of a taste in your mouth. I hope you do come back anyway next year.

That's a good point
The Blazers are probably the home-courtiest team in the league. They haven’t been very good against strong teams on the road, but they are really hard to beat at home.
It’s true the Blazers are newbies with little playoff experience and just glad to be here, but on the other hand the Rockets have to win one in Portland AND hold three in a row at home. Not easy. I don’t give either team a big edge over the other.
Sticking up for Travis Outlaw since 2008.
The Rockets and Blazers have played three games this season
One was a Rockets loss in Portland in overtime on a miracle shot from Roy. The other two were blowout losses for the Blazers in Houston.
Frankly, I just haven’t been impressed with the Blazers.
Portland is a different team now
Hold your judgement until after the first 2 games, then tell me how impressed you are
That the miracle shot from Roy
Came right after a miracle shot from Yao. That game could have gone either way—it’s not like the Blazers stole it. Blazers got the last lucky shot. In overtime, it’s usually the lucky team that wins, that’s not unusual.
But the other two games in Houston being blowouts??? Did you watch them? One was within 2 points in the last 30 seconds, the other was close until the final minutes of the fourth. I would hardly call those “blowout” wins.
Really? where he catches an inbound pass with a second left in the game, turns around, puts the shot in and is fouled to take the lead with .3 seconds left?
Really, that happens 2-3 times every game?
That was overly aggressive on my part...
I’m just sayin’ that the end of that game was a series of plays that require a lot of skill and also a lot of luck. Brandons spin around fadeaway jumper for the lead, then Yaos shot along with the foul, then Brandon’s shot. Whoever won that game was going to be lucky. My point is that it’s not like the Blazers stole the gameon that miracle shot—they got lucky enough to win a game that came down essentially to a toss up.
Not sure what you have to say there.

Jazz didn’t do squat against portland on the portland home court.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
That's not what they were talking about
They were talking about best home court. And the Jazz do have something to say about that

Cavs lost to the lakers at home
We didn’t.
by Sabonis4Ever on Apr 17, 2009 2:41 AM CDT up reply actions
They played portland
when portland was still finding itself.
Without Aldridge and with Batum hurt, the blazers took the Cavs to over time on their home court where they’d only lost one game. Next time the blazers play the cavs, i’ll bet you they beat them.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
we're just as concerned as you are confident about the matchups.
that’s not to say I think the Rockets will win, as I’ve really been liking some of the comments from within the Organization and Brandon and Joel. This should be thrilling.
GO BLAZERS!!!!

I'm Excited
Though this matchup may be the most difficult the Blazers could have drawn, it is the one that I am most excited to see. I enjoy watching Houston play because they play smart basketball. It doesn’t hurt that Yao Ming is their star, and my wife is Chinese, so there is always that.
Good luck to you guys (but not enough that the Rockets win!)
point #4
haha i completely agree. lakers will be rootin for the rockets to win.

Thanks for welcoming Rip City fans!
I’ll be honest, after Ginobili went down (making the Spurs look much more vulnerable), the Rockets were the team I wanted to see LEAST in the first round. It’s just been a tough matchup for us all season.
Having said that, I think the closest you’re gonna get to a win in the Rose Garden was back in November 2008, so with the Blazers snagging HOME COURT I’m predicting yet another first round exit for Houston.
Just so you know how much many of us respect your organization though, Hakeem Olajuwon is and will probably always be one of my top-10 favorite (non-Blazer) players in the NBA.
And I gotta thank the Rockets for helping “The Glide” get the ring we unfortunately couldn’t get him. Maybe you can ship Battier up to Portland and we’ll get him the ring he won’t be able to get down in Houston!

"Maybe you can ship Battier up to Portland and we’ll get him the ring he won’t be able to get down in Houston!"
Harsh! (But kind of funny.)
Sticking up for Travis Outlaw since 2008.
i, too, laughed. that is cute.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: I heart Portland!!!
i somehow also thought rip city was an insult to our clutch city name
but then i googled it :)
Thanks for the welcome.
I think it’ll be a home-and-home series: each team taking their home games.
…
That is, with one exception, I think we take game 4.
Of all the things that can be expressed in the printed word – love, hate, fear, joy – true humor is the one that is the most difficult of all. Sarcasm, for example, is an art of delicate subtlety. Yet too many people wield it as a bulldozer – loud, smelly, ugly, and destructive – and think they are being funny.
Haha!
Awesome welcome post for Blazer fans. Imagine if we had played Utah again? Oh Lawdy Lawd, it woulda been brutal in here :D
Welcome Blazer fans! It is on!
Mike Goldberg: "You know Joe, When Matt and his brother Mark Hughes were growing up, they would pound each other behind the barn."
Sorry guys
New here, but I’m still too bummed out of losing the 2 seed to be very productive on this matchup. Although with the game in November the way it was this should be an exciting series.
dont give up before it even starts!
we need all hands on deck!
what the hell are Rockets fans upset for?
We’ve got our best matchup in the first round. And the Rockets won a freaking championship with a 5 seed once, remember?
I’m not even concerned about the second round.
Not giving up
Not at all. I’m psyched about my rockets. Hell Yeah!
Just saying that 2 seed would’ve been nice…..
by Rock Creator on Apr 16, 2009 4:21 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah...
I had to play softball last night and left at half-time feeling pretty good about the Rockets. Not until after the game at a sportsbar I saw the recap of the game. I’m so pissed…from a possible 2 seed to 5th and have to face the Lakers round 2? I am sickened.
Don't be sick
You won’t have to face the Lakers in the 2nd round.
Man standing on toilet is high on pot.
Credit to the Mavs. They looked really sharp.
Nowitzki and Jet were impossible to stop. Makes me wonder why they aren’t the #2 seed.
I want to say it was the 6th seed
Though that further illustrates your point
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
You're not allowed to have a higher seed
until you prove you can get past the first round. League rule.
You shouldn't be concerned about the 2nd round....
because you won’t even make it there
did you see the pictures of people trying to get playoff tickets in portland on the blazers edge?
if they pulled that stunt at 3am in the morning in downtown houston, well lets not think about that.
2. Cussing is allowed here. Cussing AT someone is not.
Unless you’re a Jazz fan, then cussing at someone is encouraged

I firmly believe
- Portland is the better team and the 2nd best team in the West (point differential agrees with me)
- Houston is not far behind as the #3 team out West
- Houston is a bad matchup for Portland
- This will be a long, tough, competitive series
In the end, I believe Portland will win in 7, but I am much shakier on that last statement than any of the first 4.
You may be right
but In my bracket I’ve got the rockets in 6
by Rock Creator on Apr 16, 2009 4:46 PM CDT up reply actions
Thanks for the welcome Rockets!
Of course you are always welcome to come over to Blazers Edge also. It’s always nice to get the point of view of the team that you’re playing and so anything constructive you have to say about our posts is great. We probably won’t agree with you, but hey, that’s part of the fun! Just remember, no cussing on our site.
And it’s hilarious that the Jazz hate runs so deep that they still come here to hate on you, despite the fact that they should be focused on the L*kers.
Good luck, it should be a great series.
Why don't you go try to find a way to make your series competitive BJ
Or have you given up already?
Jazz fans and Rockets fans have a long standing rivalry
It would be pretty tough to understand from the outside. John is good people though
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
I think we all can agree that we'll be rooting for whoever wins to put showbe and flakers in their place.
BATUMSHAKALAKA hows joey dorsey working out?
Well...technically speaking...
My 2 favorite teams in the history of EVER are:
1: Portland TrailBlazers
2: Whoever is Playing the Lost Angels F*akers
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: I heart Portland!!!
ummm...
no… we vote the Jazz die to the lakers, and then the lakers die to the blazers (or maybe in some bizzaro world, houston.)
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
Don't forget Blazers fans!!!!!
It took a desperation shot to win one on your own court Portland…….
And you got your ass stomped the other two games we played so let’s stop this “oh we’re glad we got the Rockets in the first round” crap. It’s over in 6 games. Houston moves on to play LA and redeem themselves after LA got lucky 4 times against us. Rockets all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by I Bleed Rocket Red on Apr 16, 2009 4:54 PM CDT reply actions
Easy now
I know you haven’t been watching much Blazer basketball lately, but to those who have, it is obvious that Portland is a much different team than they were even a month ago. I wouldn’t be looking forward to the 2nd round so quickly. I think the Blazers will win pretty easily on their home court…..
P.S. – You claim that you will win the series against the Portland because you beat them easily in the regular season, but LA’s 4 wins against you in the regular season don’t matter? Hmm……
Match Ups, Match Ups, Match Ups!
Basketball if you don’t know is a game of chest my Dear Waston.
Rockets own the Blazer Kidos!! We played throughout the year so we’ve seen your “changes” and the only change was the points you lose by.
P.S.- We played 11 days ago. Come on now, how much has changed in 11 days?

We got our ass stomped by 4 points?
So when we won on a ‘miracle shot’ it was just a standard blow out?
by Sabonis4Ever on Apr 17, 2009 2:47 AM CDT up reply actions
Hey, I greatfully appreciate the welcoming attitude over here and know that the same applies for you at BE.
I think everyone here knows that the Rockets were the team the Blazers probably least wanted to draw in the first round, but that is just the way it goes sometimes. I, for one, am extremely excited to watch a first round matchup with two such outstanding teams.
The only thing that I would caution Rockets fans about is that this team that needed a miracle win in November is not the same team you’ll be facing now. And for that matter, we aren’t even close to the team we were in February when you guys won that game as well.
That being said, you guys soundly whooped us not that long ago and I think a big testament to that is the difficulty of playing on the road in the Western Conference (man, wouldn’t it be nicer to be in the East and know that even on the road you could still kick the crap out of the majority of the teams?). I think the Blazers will win in 7 and only because of the home court advantage.
However, I will not be surprised nor will I be disappointed if we lose this series. I’m just optimistic we won’t.
The one thing we can ALL agree on is that whoever wins this series, we will all be rooting for them to beat the Lakers in the second round as well.
Go Blazers!
Can I get a headband? One for my peeps, one for the fans in the really cheap seats, one for my momma, one for the mayor, and if you wanna get down with the players, YOU GOTTA GET A HEADBAND!
Just a Blazer fan
Chiming in to say that I hope the series is a good one. I think that both teams found a pretty competitive match up and, as a fan of great basketball, it’ll be hard not to enjoy it no matter who wins.
bwahahahaha

Reasons why Portland wins the series:
- Rockets don’t know how to get past the first round. Not only that, Shane is still wearing the emotional scars not only of Houston’s failures but of the way the Spurs and Suns brutalized his Grizzlies team in the playoffs before he came to Houston.
- Rockets have no go-to guy. Okay, I don’t know whether that’s such a problem, but it’s what the pundits are saying…
- Blazers have the homecourt ad.
- I love Rick Adelman and think he’s a fabulous coach… until he gets in a Really Big Game.
- Blazers are the hotter, more confident team going into the first game.
- Rockets are not better without T-Mac, even if that’s the popular sentiment.
- Half your fanbase wishes they were back in New Orleans watching the Hornets play the Nuggets.
Youre right
the rockets are not better without t-mac, but the rockets are better without this years t-mac aka the who was injured and playing every other game at 70% or less.
also to point number 1, the blazers dont know how to get out of the first round either. the rockets have little playoff experience, but the experience of losing in the first round is more experience than the blazer have

So, you're saying the Rockets have more experience
at losing in the first round. Okay, I can accept that.
by MiledAnimal on Apr 16, 2009 11:11 PM CDT up reply actions
Im glad that you can accept that
cause itll be easier for you to deal with losing the series in 6. Losing experience or not, the rockets have played in game 7s on the road before and had their last two series’ with utah, which, sorry to burst you bubble portland, is the toughest homecourt in the playoffs.
Experience, Execution, and Defense win in the playoffs, but yall wouldnt know that since you havent even been to the playoffs since 2003 i believe.

Yep Utah has the better home court
Even though Portland has a better record and wins by more than twice as many points as Utah does at home.
You also have the better team
That has something to do with it.
Your fans are phenomenal. Their fans are Phenomenal AND Crazy
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
their fans are over hyped
.1) Half the fans don’t show up until after half time.
2.) I swear the sound is pumped in over the mics because the place is loud and cheering and i look around and see NO ONE cheering.
3.) I agree they’re crazy and not fan crazy… just crazy.
4.) At the end of games they finally do cheer and the place is so small that the noise is amplified. yay sound effects.
I’ll take blazer fans over jazz fans any day.
The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.
In Utah?
I’ve never seen that stadium not completely full 10 minutes before tip.
They cheat, no doubt about it though. Your stadium was on another level last night, for one half at least
www.TheDreamShake.com Co-Founder and Writer
True, their fans are literally crazy
Remember when they covered their eyes when Derek Fischer came back to Utah?
Not cool… psychos.
everyone assumes that because its SLC
they arent as crude or demeaning as other places. in fact its the opposite. I have heard it mentioned numerous times that players say its the worst place to play because their chants and comments have no limits.

Thank you for rolling out the red carpet for the Blazersedge.com faithful
I look forward to an exciting, but short series. I don’t think Houston has a snowballs chance in hell of taking a game in Portland, but I like portlands chances of stealing one in Houston (the game I have circled is actually game 4). That said…I think it’s blazers in 5.
The only thing that worries me is that Bill Simmons has picked Portland to win. That guy is like the death curse for a franchise. But, Portland being young and naive and all, they don’t know that and will buck that trend. This should be an exciting series, and man for man with the starting 5’s both teams will throw out there it is going to be evenly matched. However, Houston just does not have the depth to be able to run with portland’s second unit. Denver saw last night how dangerous it is if our entire second unit is on. I don’t expect that, but if we have just 1 or 2 guys each night on the second squad step up and produce (which we usually do), then it’s good night Houston and Hello L.A.
I look forward to coming around here semi-frequently during the series and maybe pulling a few gameday threads here as well!
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: I heart Portland!!!
Hey Rockets fans.
You’ll hopefully always be a side favorite of mine because of Hakeem. He is my favorite all time center. Plus the Drexler/Hakeem championships were great too. I’ve always liked Yao too.
I hope you don’t hate my team for crushing yours into the dust.
Sincerely,
staylost
I think bench play will win it for the Blazers
that and excellent 3pt shooting

Our only loss ...
… in the last couple weeks was to the Rockets. Phoenix lost that night which earned us our first playoff spot in the Roy Era, but it was hard to celebrate because Houston beat us. We didn’t play poorly that night because “our game wasn’t on”, we played poorly because your team has a defense we need to learn from.
And learn we will.
Hopefully we’ll push Houston to play the best basketball they are capable of and our young guys will study your rock solid perimeter defense, your frustratingly physical intensity and walk away the better for it. That way, win or lose, we’ll win.
Show us your best Houston, we’re counting on it.

First blog besides BE I've joined.. thought it would be useful for this series
So can someone explain the Jazz hate? Looks like Blazers’ hate of the Lakers.. deep and well-known within the fanbase but new to other people. I just don’t know the history between the teams.
That's pretty much it
About the same, maybe even deeper than Blazers/Lakers
Lots of playoff battles. And Karl Malone and John Stockton need to DIAF

i never liked the jazz style
and its obviously hasnt produced any championships despite 2 hall of fame players
that and malone's elbows
They’re number two on my hate list.

Boston is #3
since garnet decided to get down on hands and knees and tell bayless that he was KG’s bitch during a game. That was beyond tasteless.

it’s a damn shame i’ll have to be rooting against AB during this series. I’ve been rooting for him to do well all season, but now I can’t wait to see him fall flat on his face. Here’s to the Houston Rockets choking in the first round yet again!
ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGH!!!!!!!!- Sabonis getting fouled.
regardless of the outcome
just wanted to say hi to the Houston fans. I think this is going to be a very fun series to watch and I have much respect for the rockets…

A hello from the BEdge Army
I’m really looking forward to this series. In all honesty, I would much rather be playing San Antonio or New Orleans in the first round, but this series will be the most competitive first round match-up in my opinion. The battle royal is gonna be special to watch. I’ve got the Blazers in 6 or 7 (the homer must come out) mainly because of the homecourt, but if Houston is able to steal on of the first two games in Portland I give the Rockets a huge edge to take it in 6.
Thanks for the warm welcome and let the best team win. Here’s to hoping the TMac curse continues for one more season.
What are you impressions of Roy?
"He's just a very, very good basketball player. Very smart. Very heady. He can do a little bit of everything on the court. As coaches, when we scout Portland we kind of put him in the same category as Kobe (Bryant), LeBron (James), Dwyane Wade. We treat him the same. He's that good."
- Byron Scott
BEdger in da house
You guys have a great team. Portland must run as much as possible to win. Put aldridge or frye on yao and just front him, hack, foul him so much they it’s impossible to call them all. They almost always give the smaller dude the benefit of the doubt when bigs are bangin down low, as much as i’m a proponent of always having a true center out there, yao is going to overpower or shoot over the top of even joel and greg anyway, so why not put a smaller guy on yao and make them adjust to our mismatches? i’m sure nate will try the advantage of aldridge’s quickness and stanima against yao’s slowness to get down the court and lack of stanima (he actually runs pretty well for someone so giant, but he looks to get tired pretty fast).
do you guys have a game thread,
where you all get in and comment on the game?
i need to know where i can come YELL SCOREBOARD after a win. :)
just kidding (sorta, i might do it)
i love your team for playing tough, i hate you for stealing clyde.
i love Artest and Battier, I hate Luis Flopola

game time decision? You rockets may be lucky yet….
Thanks for the welcome
I wasn’t going to post here at all, but the lax rules on cursing is like being let out of jail from the Blazers Edge. Unfortunately, I’ve got nothing to curse about yet. :-)
BTW, I have a great deal of affection for Adelman, Brooks and Battier. Would have liked a different match up so both teams could go further into the playoffs.

Looking forward to an excellent series…..
