absolutely love Portland? I do. They have the size to match up with Yao, but the athleticism to give the Rockets fits. Both teams play very good defense so i'm expecting a tight low scoring game. We also have 74% of the action on Houston. Blazers have one of the best home court advantages in the leagues. Blazers are 0-2 on the road, and 1-0 at home. Portland is a long ways away from Houston.
