    Portland is the antithesis of deindividuation. Moreso, since we have the hipster mentality, we shy away from looking like we are conforming. It's basic sociology.

    I’ve never seen a defender deliberately defend from behind at the three point line, inviting the drive.

    Harden didn’t even drive, he was bemused, bamboozled, and befuddled.

    Interesting to see if Utah does that again.

    Harden is playing like his confidence is shot.

    That was awesome. They’re guarding him for the stepback.

    There are series that you already know it’s over. Whatever Utah does, it really won’t matter. Houston moving on.

    This is bad news for the the Jazz, Hardens doing basically nothing. Jazz have a huge FT advantage and they cant get any separation at all...

    Harden’s getting to the line though. I still think Jazz take it though.

    Maybe they take this game but, this is not a recipe they can expect to work 4 times.

    Harden 0-14, but 7 dimes and 6 steals. Houston up 2. Utah better make a move before he wakes up.

    I hear you. One game at a time, we’ll see.

    Its true. I guess if you’re Utah you dont care how you win, just that you win.

    Very likely, Lillard leads playoffs in scoring after this game.

    Worst decision ever when teams decide to wear all black to a game. I'm just guessing but I feel like it rarely works out.

    If I was Utah fan, I’d be scared of Harden if the game stays close.

    I think they plan on wearing black during the game, not to it.

    Blazers gave out black t shirts for Game 1. People didn’t wear em. Red shirts for game 2, didn’t wear those either.

    I was talking about the fans not the Blazers themselves.
    I think when the “team” does that stuff its a bad idea. The fans do whatever you gotta do to bring the energy for your team.
