Game Two

Tonight's game will be close, with the Rockets losing. Both teams scores will be in the 90's. Houston caught the Blazers napping in game 1, but it won't happen again. Then again, I'm 0-1. I hope I go 0-2.

Side note: Semi congratulations to Rick Adelman for getting second place in the coach of the year balloting. It's hard to disagree with the winner, though. Even having one of the best - if not THE best - players in the game, Mike Brown led an otherwise spotty cast to the best record in the NBA. Still, any coach that can make Ron Artest stay out of trouble and be productive for a full season deserves serious consideration, especially one that can lose a $20 mil man and still be a serious contender.

Next: I vote for Daryl Morey for GM of the year.
