    Okay.... Obviously the Blazers played bad, on both ends of the court. But if one, just one of those Crawful phantom calls are not made, this game doesn't go into overtime and the Blazers sweep.

    But the NBA couldn't have that now, could it.

    The difference in this series rests on LA. I ask where he was this evening. Did he get a memo from the league to hold back?

    But how he does depends on where this team ends up.

    It was not called even, the goal tend, the shooting foul on la they called "on the floor", and a bunch of other stuff was called on on end and not the other. But Just those two calls cost the blazers the game.

    I believe only three teams with HCA have lost the first two games and come back to win the series, so statistically speaking, the mentally strong Blazers should still take this over the whining and mentally confused Rockets.

    I think we need to play Lopez more. He had a great first half. Make them adjust to us.

    Bottom line, the Rockets played harder than did we.

    I think so. LMA doesn't let Howard get completely by him like Lopez does.

    I disagree. Both teams played hard and Daniels hit a big shot. I mean, if he misses that shot and we hit one on the other end, does that mean we played harder? A couple plays changes the entire narrative?

    Most FGs attempted by any Rocket ever in a playoff game.

    Agreed. Going small is what allowed them to play Daniels. No reason to play to their strengths.

    Freeland only got 4 minutes in that game. Maybe Freeland should get some of Wrights 18 minutes in the next game?
