    I just came from rockets forum. Bunch of cry babies complaining about refs.... the nerves of saying Dame gets a foul if anyone is breathing on him....meanwhile their boy Harden leads league in FT attempts 6 years streight pathetic. At least they admit the refs were on their side big time vs utah.

    in the pinch-me-I'm-dreaming-alternate-universe, the Blazers have outscored the Rockets by 13 points at the FT line in a half, and CJ has 5 times the FTA's as Harden...unreal...but why am I worrying about that evening out in the 2nd half?

    At this point I just want Little to become the next Ariza. Never thought I would say that.

    I liked the 'bigger', more active line up.

    Dame/GTR/Ariza/Little/Whiteside.

    It was a lot of length and activiy and hustle with Whiteside patrolling the middle.

    I'm convinced they're worse than L*ker fans honestly. The intellectual dishonesty to complain about an opponent's foul rate when you have Harden on your team is mind numbing.

    Ariza is way better than Bazemore and Nassir & Trent are starting to come around which crushes Mario & Tolliver. Thats three pluses on D too. Just hope it can spread to Ant somehow. Want to see the archangel get some run too.

    That last play by Ariza was actually a high IQ play no way Harkless makes that read

    I kind of feel like Harden has completely checked out of our last two games with him or he's really, truly, significantly hurt

    I mean the only Houston player getting near the rim was Westbrick in the first half.
    Every other Houston player was camping out at the 3.
    They need to blame Dantoni.

    Shit I think even Capela camped out at the 3 a couple times.

    Yup.

    He's pretty passive vs the trap.

    And relying more on the step-back when we do decide to guard him 1v1

    Every time they went to the rim, Hassan Chop was blocking or altering shots at a high rate.....so they stopped for the most part.
