    On the bright side a bad game for Harden is 24 points

    Most of you were predicting a loss, we had a close game and stayed in it through 48 minutes. It's unfortunate that we lost the last 5 minutes. No need to panic and be upset with this team. We're going through growing pains.

    I have a question


    Got a question - cause i am a basketball noob.
    please enlighten me.
    After Jlin scored. shouldn't they have just protected the prerimeter and let them score a 2 and then simpily just run out the clock?


    painful lost - almost had it .
    shouldn't have gone to overtime?

    No we wouldn't, because Harden wouldn't be here. Raptors are 0-2 and Suns are 1-1.

    On the same number of shots. Don't just look at points.

    The Rockets needed to lose a game like this......... I will say with all the missed layups and ill-play calls (alley-oop plays never work in late in a tight game), it was a good learning experience. I was impressed with this Blazers team.

    And I definitely agree about Asik needing to just throw it down when he gets an offensive rebound. It's not like he doesn't have a fresh clock. I think he rushes it sometimes when what he needs to is hold the ball for a second, gather himself, then go up and destroy people.

    I know but it's hard though because Harden was brought in to be the "Man." It's also on the coach because he seems to be telling everyone to defer to Harden no matter what. And Harden is usually on, but not tonight.

    asik needs to work on his finger muscle because he needs to hold on to that ball and then dunk it

    They played better plain and simple especially in the 2nd half. We got outshot and outblocked by Aldridge, Batum and Lillard and we weren't hitting our shots either.

    If anybody knew how to pump fake, we would have won the game. Tough L, but looking forward to Denver.
