    Aldridge is our best defender. No question.

    the cutest thing about this is we could still win the season series 3-1. this game kinda means nothing.

    0.9 hurts a lot more for them.

    This game is most likely over at halftime. The way the refs are calling it and the way we are playing will make a comeback almost impossible. I hope Stotts plays the starters 5m in the second and if we can't make a good dent into Houston's lead then pull them and play the bench the rest of the game.

    I think this game shows just how important Aldridge is to this team. He is our true MVP

    they only play 3 times this year.


    But good for Houston, they won the game against Portland without two starters, at home.

    Totally makes up for .9

    No more talk of this bullshit that Aldridge's game hurts this ball club. None of it will be taken seriously ever again

    Lillard is a great PG and if I could point to something I wish he would change is what he did on that last play. He passed the ball to Freeland who had a mismatch, which is probably the right play, when I would have much rather Lillard try to score since we are in the whole in a big way.

    would he be guarding Harden? Because we're shooting higher % as a team than he does. We just aren't stopping Harden or Brewer (41pts). Maybe he'd have another couple of rebounds, but that's not why we're down 20.

    Everything was going just fine and then Stotts took Meyers out of the game.

    You are obviously a smart guy, so I won't guess you overlooked the importance of having a half court scorer. It allows for you to slow it down and slow those fast breaks down.

    I hate James Harden. I hate him more than any other player in the league. He makes a fucking mockery of the NBA with how he games the system. The guy takes an average of 3-4 steps on every drive. Some of them are blatant fourth steps. He flops on every fucking drive. The guy is ruining the game with how he plays. He knows the NBA favors superstars and he completely abuses it to the point where the game is no longer a game of basketball, but instead a game of horse. Who can make the most free throws.

    Honest to god, they need a fucking James Harden rule. A studio somewhere that reviews fouls in real time and if you flop more than three times in a game, you're tossed. Done.

    This is why it has to keep being brought up. For as shitty as we're playing, LMA's "normal" game would be hurting the team FG%. It's not the 53 points' reason we're down, it's the 73 we're giving up. Unless he's now guarding SGs, it's nothing close to the reason.

    Shit, if he were shooting long 2's instead of the 3's MyLe made, we'd be down even more. :)
