    Forcing Harden to play defense has made a huge impact.

    .

    The Trail Blazers have won two road games to begin a playoff series for second time in team history (1977 Conference Finals at LA Lakers).

    .

    LaMarcus Aldridge has recorded 2 of the franchise's 3 highest scoring playoff games in the last four days (45, Bonzi Wells, 4/23/03 at DAL).

    Definitely. He was the difference. So glad he came through, so happy to eat my words (for a night).

    I've been fighting that battle for year. I did notice that the biggest LMA critics are nowhere to be found. LMA scored a ton on mid-range open shots tonight, and Houston can't defend it. If LMA hits them, he's Dirk Nowitzki, but better on defense.

    I can't emphasize how big Dorell Wright and Mo Williams were for us. Obviously LaMarcus was great, but without those two off the bench, his effort goes down the drain. Dame, Wes, and Nic all had off nights, and we won. That never happens. We usually need good nights from at least 3 of our starters.

    TNT still showing all Houston highlights, and acting like it's an upset that Portland won.

    .

    LaMarcus Aldridge's 89 points in 1st 2 playoff games are fewer than only Michael Jordan (1986, 1988) and Jerry West (1965) in last 50 years.

    You're discredited, IMO. A long road back from it.

    Maybe this has been mentioned somewhere on these 57 pages (!!) of comments, but I think a big factor here is that Terry Stotts has been coaching in the NBA - and in the NBA playoffs - for years. Kevin McHale has been there as a player (though really, in a different era), and as a GM, but he's not a Popovich, or even Rick Adelman, kind of opposing coach. I'm not sure the Rockets have the coaching ability to get back in this series (though I think they might have the talent...).

    .

    LaMarcus Aldridge is the first NBA player with consecutive playoff games of 43 points or more since Tracy McGrady (April 20-23, 2003).
