If Portland can go away in game three victorious then I think that they could take both in houston because all the pressure will be on the rockets and looking from their past playoff performances it doesn't appear that handling pressure is their strongsuit. It's going to be interesting to see what happens but I think the Blazers winning game 2 has given this young team confidence that they can not only win in Houston but win anywhere as long as they play their game.

I'm behind this logic 100%. Portland has history in it's favor on this. Of course the Blazers can get a game in Houston. I expect it will be one of these next two, with the final three games each going to the home team. If the Rockets sweep their two game home stand, winning out three in a row will prove to be too much for the Blazers to overcome. Great post. I’m behind this logic 100%.
