    That’s the best team in the nba? CJ and Dame wouldn’t be off like that in a seven game series.

    Congrats on winning the battle.

    Nurk, Chief, Mo, and ET with great games. They keep that up, and the Blazers will be extremely tough to beat.

    Disappointing loss - a couple stupid mistakes eliminated or an average game from Dame and it's a win. That said, much better than I expected.

    Still our front court needs to get better, Dame/CJ won't always be on, we need significant and reliable post scoring from Collins/Nurk.

    But yes I want to recognize pretty much everyone else tonight. Aminu, Moe, Nurkic, Turner, Davis, etc. They all played great. but this is a superstars game and you have to have your stars do something, anything to get the win.

    Oh well. Proud of the Blazers. Played a hard game. Rockets barely won.

    Blazers hosed in the end by Refs. Hope the NBA gets karma served on a fine platter and CP3 lumps through the playoffs.

    CJ ... ZERO free throws. I mean NONE. 4-15 from the field. 8 points. Seriously?

    Everyone played great but the shooting of CJ and Dame was missing.

    Houston is a "good" defensive team, which means they get to foul and the refs don't blow whistles.

    Off night by Lillard and CJ and we still played the best team in the NBA this close?!?

    I love our chances in the playoffs.

    That's what separates a Championship team from a good team. Your stars need to show up.

    Ours didn't.

    Nurk was 3-6 from the line. Could have used two more made FTs from him.

    I will say this. Nurk can dominate this team in a playoff series with there switching and Dame and CJ wont shoot like shit a whole series. I feel like it is possible to beat them.
