    So he doesn't foul out before halftime?

    Our team is historically terrible (at least recently the last few seasons) defending the opposition in the paint.

    Lopez has been great for us, making everything easier for everyone, especially LaMarcus. Dwight Howard is hard to guard no matter who you are.

    When the other team is shooting 80% from deep, you start getting paranoid about the three and they easily get into the paint. We've done this to a few teams this year.

    Lotta game to play yet..if you haven't seen the Blazers down at halftime, you haven't watched the Blazers much over the years..game plan..let the other team run full out for 2 qtrs...then start playing defense in the 3rd and score 41 pts

    Yep. We gave up a lot of uncontested shots, period. Too many players standing and watching.

    We are waiting for TNT to get back because they need more time to talk about nothing basketball related...

    There is not much to love about a loss, IMO.

    I'll be happy with the Blazers record tomorrow . . . hard for me to celebrate a record tonight if the team loses.

    Gotta start aggressive in the 2nd half, or it's over. It will set the tempo for the 2nd half. 5-6 quick points by Houston, and it's over

    Rockets were scoring uncontested layups before the 3s. No way to try and defend that defense in that first half, everything so easy for the Rockets.

    Good news is got a whole 2nd half to play

    Wow Houston's SF's destroying us. Parsons with 19, Casspi with 11 combined that is 30 points 6 reb 6 ast 2 TO on 12 of 16 shooting. Come on Nico, LA or whoever is guarding them.

    Holy crap. 10-13 from 3? Y'all weren't kiddin'. Seems like it actually hurts Portland to have Montiejunas playing instead of Jones because he stretches the floor.

    I hate Harden so much. I'm having a hard time trying to come up with someone I hate as much as Harden. Westbrook maybe?
