    Portland is going to be crazy on Friday. Going to honor doctor jack, and will smell blood in the water with the possibility to close series. If the blazers can't win friday then they have no business winning series.

    LaMarcus may as well have just sat this game out and rested.

    Brilliant analysis. You think it's good basketball to have double-digit deficits in the first half game after game? We're fucking ourselves. We put no pressure on Houston tonight. None. We got a little close, but they always answered.

    Let's not sound like Houston fan. That kind of degrading should never happen.

    We got beat. We could have beat them with just a tad bit more execution. I have no worries we will win game 6. Houston didn't show me anything I haven't seen yet.

    Too bad I'm going to have to watch it on DVR. I have a show that night. :(

    Everyone seems to be scapegoating LA. Yah he missed a few shots but they played to take him out of the game entirely. He fought for position and couldn't get the ball and when he did he couldn't do much with it. Blame execution if you want to blame something.

    Terry calling plays for him in the closing minutes was idiotic. About as idiotic as not having LMA help off of Asik, or better yet, guard Howard.

    Bullshit. It was totally lop-sided. Maybe we would have barely lost anyway, but it was certainly a factor.

    I think reffing had an effect, because they got LA out of the game early with a couple weak calls, but for the most part you are right. We did not execute, we made a lot of stupid turnovers, and we didn't play good defense at all. We didn't make Houston work.

    As bad as it was, and we almost won. That's got to be encouraging.

    Without Howard, they get blown out. It's a meaningless statement.

    And we lost that game, just like we lost this one.

    Really thought we'd win this one. Lamarcus and Mo well below their scoring averages makes it tough, Wes played a great game though

    If LA even got his averages we would have won easily.

    I think the refs can be included, but they are last on that list of yours. They made some shitty calls that hurt us more than Houston.
