    watch the replay from a different angel and you will see that pass from Lin to Daniel was actually a late reaction pass, Howard was totally wide open under the basket with only dame closing in, a lop would be the best play there.

    Harden and Parsons haven't had efficient performances yet, but with that said we're a couple of plays away from being up 3-0. All in all, if the Rockets play well for 4 quarters Portland cannot win.

    Lillard is amazingly poised and confident and mature beyond his years.

    Harden took 35 shots tonight. Thats the most shots a player has taken in 1 game in Rocket's playoff history.

    this is the only reason i take lin's side on these childish back-and-forth finger-pointing sessions here. if lin didn't have so many irrational fans, didn't go through linsanity, his play would be appreciated. he isn't a superstar or an all-star. he's at the very best 4th option on his team

    anyway, i hope parsons and harden picks up their shooting. i was afraid refs would stop handing out unlimited free throws in the playoffs

    Actually, more like 'you die with Troy Daniels shooting that shot', Dame.

    McHale to all of us: "That's why I keep telling you. Why do I need to draw a ******* play? Isn't it more exciting this way ..."

    Daniels just saved McHale's job.

    Hopefully in Game 4, no more of those bonehead plays. We've shown every game we can build a lead on these guys. but we have to be smart closing games.

    It really is crazy how badly Hardn has shot the ball contrasted with how good LMA has and the Blazers have out scored us by a whopping 4 points through 3 games.

    You have to think he is going to have one of his signature high efficiency games at some point. Next game would work for me.

    This is true, that's why I still have hope though. It's just one game, we win one more game and reset this series.

    We've lost tough games to these guys, but they have not blown us out. It's not like the Warriors where they have been dominated every game outside of one. That would mean that they were just fortunate for one night...

    These teams are close...so just one game at a time and who knows? They shoot a lot of jumpers, if they go cold who knows...

    Portland would have milked the clock, and so would the spurs.,popp would, have gave lin the death stare for that lay up when the clock was his friend.

    Some fans will never be satisfied. We just won a game that was a must win and they are still crying and complaining. This victory is a step in the right direction gents. It brings confidence, momentum and unity. We might win the next 2 or 3. So chill out and enjoy the much needed victory.

    We would've never had to win it in overtime had Lin stupid azz known the clock situation in regulation. Don't pick in choose Lin's moments.

    The only way Mchale gets his job saved is if they go to the finals. I'm serious. This team is winning mostly despite him.
