Idleman has to be reminded that his team allowed a 17-point lead to dwindle to only one at the end. This was nothing new in the regular season.

But this is the play-off. I wonder if Idleman sees this as a warning.

I am just wondering out loud regarding the fronting of Yao. Surely, this is not something invented just now. Portland is not the first team that does it to Yao either. So, what are the coach and coaching staff doing or practising with Yao on how to get out of this? From what RA was saying, it seems he put the entire responsibilities on Yao to find a way out. I don't watch D. Howard plays, but does he get fronting and how does he get out of it if and when he does?

With all due respect, every day you wake up must be a terrible day because nothing ever goes according to plan. That's life. The name of the game is getting the 'W' -- that's it. You sound bitter, or you don't know basketball all that well. If your favorite team wins a championship but they don't blow everyone out, is that championship tainted? If that's the case, then every NBA champion sucks and we might as well not watch any of the games because there should be no intrigue.

Portland is a very good team. There's a reason why they had more comeback victories than anyone else in the league in years.

I don't think it is a good win at all, it's Mediocrity at best. We beat them single handily in game 1 on their home tuff of an appx 30 point blow out and embarrassed them in front of their fans. Game 2, they adjust and they beat us by 3 points at their home tuff but were a close game.

I speculate that on our home court we should have blow them out badly but it was just a mediocrities win that could easily gone the other way had we made some mistakes in the end. I am not proud or satisfy with this win at ALL.

Game 4 on home court I expect better win than just a win that could have easily gone the other way. We are looking for championship. We need to do better than that.

I knew the Rockets will bounced back in Game 3. All they need to do is protect their home court and they will be okay. The win from Game 1 was so crucial so they should screw things up at home.

I have great respect for the Blazers but they are still young but now lets leave destiny in the hands of the Rockets to full fill that long awaited dream.

Hats off to Scola was his big performance tonight. Every shot which he nailed was huge and again I'm so happt he got the better of Aldridge. Please check out my match review, and what do you think about the prosoect on Game 4?
