    Just chilling in game threads to see who I avoid when they get emotional. And Sly will always be an ignore for me though.

    I think we will win this one because in the fourth the good Rockets will get worn down.

    I hope we lose. We need it.

    Makes the front office more desperate to make coaching and personnel changes.

    This starting group has the talent to play good defense and even score, but the bench is too one dimensional and that one style is iso which is too easy to defend. Coaching should know this so probably better to have spot changes than a full line change

    Why are we not doubling Harden? Are we worried about Nwaba draining 3s?

    Nah I always hope Stotts figures things out and gets this team playing properly. I always root for wins. If those don't happen, I hope the coaching is held accountable.

    That would require an in-game coaching adjustment.
    Good luck with that.

    Does Harden have more free throws than entire Blazers team?

    CJ showcase going on here.

    Not sure what it is about Nwaba being on the floor with CJ going off. Gave his Bulls 50 last yr

    Um, have you not watched any of the games last year or this year? Letting the opponent have wide open 3's are never a good idea for Portland, no matter who the shooter is.

    Lol I appreciate your optimism but even if he figures it out in the regular season, do you want another post season with Stotts coaching?

    I absolutely do not. With or without Harden.

    Harden just got away with the most obvious travel on the baseline.
