Blazers vs. Rockets
Recommended
Portlanders love themselves a good rivalry. When the Sonics (R.I.P.) were around, we hated those green bastards. We still go apeshit at the mere possibility of the Lakers coming to town. But the Houston Rockets? The team that's developed a real knack for either barring our entry into—or knocking the Blazers out of—the playoffs? Now that's a rivalry with some meat on its bones.
