    In the 2nd Half, Houston is going to remain aggressive in the paint and get our guys in foul trouble. That's gonna be brutal.

    We need to keep up the 3 on the offensive end.

    Very fun half. Tied at the half with Dame having six '3's. Doubt he duplicates that in the 2nd half but it was still fun to watch except for CJ. As accomplished as he can be as a scorer, I just don't watching enjoy his game. It is all ISO/overdribble and he is not a willing passer when teammates are wide open.

    Still, the most fun half in quite some time.

    I've got a bad feeling about the second half but I'm glad to see the effort so far.

    Good first half. Rockets are going to come out physical in the 3rd...blazers gotta keep the intensity of the first half.

    Will Dame have to hit 6 more 3s in the second halffor us to win?

    The refs will favor Houston in the third (they alternate which team they favor and we got the 2nd quarter), then swallow their whistles in the fourth, both of which will favor Houston. We’ll lose by 12 but that first half was FUN!

    It wasnt that great, I agree. Plus the guy said "Gobert challenged it" ... he didnt even extend his arms. lol. He just lightly jumped.

    Problem is fans don't get back in their seats on team and road team makes a run. I've seen it happen every year.

    Well that was a fun 24 minutes. Such a stark difference watching Zach and Meyers defend the pnr.

    The coordination Zach shows at his size and age are truly special. Also love that he's comfortable blocking shots with both hands.
