    CJ needs to find other ways to score points. When you struggle, stop shooting Jump shots. Drive to the basket. Get easy baskets ... nobody told him that?

    Ha that was the one time he got blocked. How tall is CP3? .....yet he is by far their best defender. CJ is the master of the floater and the change of speeds. Length is seldom the issue for CJ...he was just not on tonight. He was averaging 26 against them in the previous two games. Green was not the difference maker in his 11 minutes.

    IMO the hype of the game effected both Dame and CJ. Too much lime light this week. They came out tight and never got going.

    Losing sucks. But what did we learn?

    We can play with the Rockets even when our stars don't play their best. Aminu and Harkless can reak havoc and Nurk can have a field day in the paint.

    This was a good test for us. I like our chances in the playoffs.

    He can take his fake limp to the airport and get the fuck out

    Sometimes a streak like that can weigh a team down somewhat. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome. Loved it and every minute, but now it's time to take a deep breath, and start a new winning streak. Go Blazers!!

    He had as much space as he does every other game.

    Is that the one we can't get within five feet of, or the one who gets to shove us in the back? I can never remember.

    CP3 is a king b but I respect the hell out of his game. Fouls or not.

    He's a smarmy piece of shit and I wish Dame had ruined his knees instead of Nash's as a rookie.

    It’s CP3. He gives that POS way too much respect. I haven’t looked up the stats but it seems like he always struggles in that match up with CP3.

    Look hes got mad game, but I can't respect a guy who flops and plays dirty. Those dramatics belong on a stage not a basketball court
