I am a RedsArmy reader and I came over to check out your preview, I was at the last meeting of the two teams, and I agree with you that if Portland wants to win this game they need to step up the toughness, admittedly that game was the only Blazers game I have seen all season, but I remember they got completely out worked on the boards, especially on the offensive glass, that was really the key to the game.
They are definitely soft when they play Boston and it's too bad. Normally the Blazers are a top 5 team (I believe) when it comes to offensive rebounding but when it comes to the CEltics...they just can't compete mentally or physically.
Lets hope some home cookin' will fix that!
A Blazer victory? Wishful thinking Sir, I hope for the same result but my memory tells me we are in for a tough one.
Going out on a thin limb, thats all. :) Somebody has to pick them right?
