30 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists on only 16 shot attempts including that awesome circus shot. Reminds me of Wade in his prime. We'll win this series and very possibly the next. Just enjoy it. And remember what Bill Schonley said "Nobody said it was going to be easy." Go Blazers!!! Get em in Game 4!
Lillard is legit. Lets not say, though, that we "are going to win this series". Lets win game 4 first, then worry about game 5. Houston thought they'd walk all over us, and now they are aware. Lets not do the same thing to ourselves.
I'm not sure if we can play much better than this. Nic was huge. Good Mo showed up. Dame was on fire. LA had a game that's pretty common for him. 23 and 10. That's very LMA-ish. I don't think we can expect him to drop 40 in every game, and that was the huge difference. LA wasn't making them work.
I thought Houston was supposed to be a shitty defensive team, but they're certainly not shitty. We have to work for everything.
Hey I'm back. Just so you know, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WE THINK OR TYPE. We can say WE'LL WIN THE SERIES if we want! It will have no bearing on the series. There's no such thing as a jinx. The players and coaches will determine who wins. We can say and think whatever we want. So.... WE WILL WIN THE SERIES IN FIVE GAMES.
We really need to win the next game. We will learn an awful lot about them now. The league would still prefer the Rockets to advance I'm sure.
I don't think so. NBA and ESPN are really hyping us. Why else did Lillard get all the All Star invites? I think the NBA is welcoming us back to contention. We just have to jump in and claim our spot. Win a couple rounds and LMA and Lillard might START on All Star team next year. I think we are in a very good spot to meet Clippers in WCF.
They were hand checking and just wrapping our players up all night, they were physical on D so the refs let them play like that and it paid dividends. They also set about a billion moving screens that werent called.
I don't even know if we NEED us to get to the WCF for them to get recognized nationally... (I want us to get there, obviously...) Because they are just having good games all series. I want to win this series so bad, and I think we do.
Houston doesn't look confident yet. They look very relieved. Terry and crew will make the proper adjustments and we'll take game four.
how has dames D been? ive watched every second of every game but i havent really been paying attention....feels like its been better in the playoffs since nobody s talking about it?
