    Every damn game, and it usually coincides with our bench coming in.

    I'd say it's more without Lin they get blown out. :)

    It's no biggie, KS. We're winning in 6.

    The only shooter in the game tonight shooting worse than Lamarcus was the Portland bench
    with 2 for 11. They should join the masons.

    I agree. But at the same time he made two bone headed plays. Took a tough fade away jumper and then drove and threw it up praying to get the foul call when we all knew that wasnt going to happen. I cant blame him that much, but those plays hurt.

    Look at this point with the betting issues.. in the last 3 away games in houston the odds are on Portland are up on 0.20 first game 2.50 second game 2.70 and last one today was 2.90.. the bookies has see that comin.. to clearly.. Friday this game makes the most tv ratings ever in the NBA.. This sure.. there is amazing money on the table.. i had the feeling they fixing this game . not the player but the refs and the NBA officials..

    We really need to work on limiting their second chance points. So many times they get the offensive rebound and do something good with it. They seem to be grabbing 15+ offensive rebounds a game. We this amazing team that can give Houston the 50/50 balls and let them get tons of second chance points and win the game handily.

    Once again the Rockets had a good lead in the 4th. This time they simply didn't choke, made their shots and that's why they won.

    Almost every game has played out the same way the first 3.5 quarters. The difference is this time the Rockets took care of business.

    Not confident at all right now. It's going to take the Blazers' best game of the season to win game 6.

    The officials were atrocious in the first half.

    Now the second half we had all the chances in the world to come back but our late game execution was crap.

    I hear ya. But if we even just get average LA and 15-18 from Wes we win game 6. I think we win anyway... Houston just hasn't shown anything worth getting worried about.

    Well TNT is happy. Since Houston won, they probably don't feel obligated to show any of hour highlights at all now.

    Most of it was Lin because Mo was guarding him. If you notice, when Lin sees Mo Williams guarding him he IMMEDIATELY puts his head down and takes it straight to the hole.

    Thanks man!

    Didn't Houston give up a 10-0 and 8-0 run to us tonight? Runs happen, we're still leading this series and have shown we can win on the Rockets home court. I'm just not buying this dooms day mentality. I guess that's your thing but for me tonight is not the end of the series or the end of the world.

    The bench was awful. If you're paying attention, you can see that a ton of the offensive rebounds are coming when the bench is in.

    Mo tries to extend and play pressure defense 30 feet from the hoop, then he gives up an angle and gets beat to the hoop. He'd be better off sagging off of Lin and daring him to throw up a contested 3. Yes, I know he made a couple of those tonight, but you have to play the averages.
