    Lin haters apparently didn't even watch the game. THERE WAS NO 3+1 Lillard missed the FT.

    Well the Good News is that you know Harden will be better and others besides Parson will be about the same.

    You make adjustments and move on. You have to get past one lose if you want to be a Championship team.

    How long was Lin in at the end? Came in part way through the third and was in all the fourth except for a couple quick yanks for free throw size, unless I missed something. He usually starts making mistakes after 12m or so (well... extra mistakes), and he had at least 20 continuous, I think.

    It's 50/50. I thought all along the Rockets would have to win one in Portland in order to win this series. Of course now that they've given away Game 1, they have to win Game 2 at home before they can even worry about a road win. If the Blazers get Game 2, this ends in a sweep.

    Lillard and Aldridge combine for 77. Houston get boned by calls all night. Dwight misses free throws, harden plays like crap, AND the blazers with by TWO.

    Rockets focus up in the next two days and come out swinging. We win the next four. Book it.

    1. Harden needs to man up and play better defense and be more aggressive on offense. He has so many bad habbits that need to be corrected.
    2. Box out like ur life depends on it
    3. Use more Asik on Aldridge.
    4. Live with Lillard shooting outside contested shots rather than let him get to the rim.

    Honestly our coaching staff sucks.

    We were the better team in the regular season statistically, but starting off a game down is a really big deal. And if Beverley is done we're finished.

    Lin did well in overtime, is that his turnovers cost us in the fourth

    They're just trolls trying to have some fun. I really hope the Lin fans would stop responding to them. Makes everyone look bad.

    We lost the game because Harden had an offnight (8-28 = 29%) and McHale is a terrible coach. Let's get Game 2.

    These are all fair grades. Refs were really, really bad, but "at least" they were evenly bad.

    Consistently inconsistent. Like Harden's shot tonight.

    Game 1 folks, Game 1. Obviously I'm upset, very upset. We should have won that game. But still, no need to panic. Just pray that Beverley is ok.
