What can they say? Hardin was dishing it off half way though the game because he was too scared to shoot.
I hadn't heard of any of those refs really, other than Zach, other than a passing moment. I leaned toward that being "bad," but I was wrong. Nobody will still be able to name the refs of this game in a month.
I recorded Lillard's postgame interview. He was just so polished, unemotional, and concentrated on the team's performance, and not his own, when he said he didn't have it, for whatever reason, and LMA played the MVP he is again.
And their trust for each other. Houston is out there spazzing out, making their run in the 4th, and the Blazers just calmly do their work. They trusted each other to make plays and do the right thing.
No excuses. The Rockets are simply the better team. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=8881908&postcount=1
The chemistry on this team is for real. You see it on the court. But the photo op at the practice facility two weeks ago involving Damian, Wes, Robin and Nic and then the showering of Barton with goodness after the final game of the season was awesome stuff. The legitimately like each other. Don't think it's talk.
I've always thought it says a lot of pro athletes if they can find team spirit at the pro level. I mean, this is just a job to them. So many of us do our jobs the best we can to get through the day. But to actually act like you're still in high school and actually give a s___t about your team. That takes a lot of more than just doing your job.
I think I've literally posted these same things about both Harden and McHale in the past, but I was rooting against them last year! From the Houston board http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=8881917&postcount=2
Kudos Blazers This game probably shocked me more than any this year. Now, give them no sense of hope in game 3
