    No, you have no stats to back up your stupid claim. You can't just spew bullshit and expect to not get called on it.

    Nice to know when you can't back up any of your shitty takes that your only solution is to ignore me.

    We worked hard to get this far. The team was fortunate to depend upon Moe and Chief.
    Only lost by four but could have had points from first half up close miss opportunities.> 200w3HJYX9E4Big.gif

    Tough loss. Lillard not being in arcade mode was bound to catch up to us. Even with he and CJ struggling, we probably beat 90% of the teams in the league last night. Houston is just just a bit better on both ends

    I guess if there is a silver lining it's that OKC lost too

    You got to admit Harden played a good game. He has had an incredible year. That guy is lights out at times.
    I was watching the Rockets pretty close. Paul has really embraced his role with this team. It seems he almost relishes it. They are doing the exact same thing the Blazers are doing with the combo. Essentially Harden is the main threat and Paul is the main threat with the second unit. They screen the defender off and try to get Harden his shot consistently. They spread the floor to extremes. Almost ISO constantly. Dame had no chance guarding Harden in those situations. Happened way too many times. How many times did you see Harden stuck trying to guard Dame in an ISO situation? Didn't happen.....

    Completely agree. So many, "if Dame/CJ would have hit a couple more shot" type posts....and that's the thing, they will on most nights. But in a game like last nights, they have to have to hit their shots when Mo'/Aminu/Nurk were already a ridiculous 21-26. That is a whopping .807!!! I would be willing to bet that doesn't happen again the rest of the season. So on most nights, Dame/CJ will shoot better but we're just not going to get that kind of game from our front court. Dame and CJ both having terrible nights at the same time is an aberration but what the front court did was that but even more so.

    Not only did they hit those '3's in the 4th quarter, they did it on the road to a team on the longest winning streak in the league. If we get them in the Playoffs, they will have HCA with a raucous crowd behind them and hold onto your hats, even more benefit calls from the refs.

    Yeah i agree also. In the past when Dame and CJ go cold against a good team it's a blowout. I like what i am seeing. This team is progressing but they came up against a great team. Harden played an MVP caliber game no question last night. The Blazers are good. They play solid defense and can hold their own against any team. The Moda was rockin. The crowd was there. National TV and all. Houston is poised to go to the Finals this year.

    The one thing that i did see was the CP3 curse raising it's ugly head. If he goes down to injury it will be a shame. Just weird the way that guy has had things happen.
