    most of the Blazers points in the 4th were free throws.....they only had like 2 FG makes in their 12-2 run or whatever

    This is what Harden should realise, this guy is giving his all while playing seriously ill and you cannot even try a little bit??

    this game literally saved his career in my honest opinion. if he had blown it tonight he would have been considered a scrub and never given another chance. now he has a good playoff performance under his belt. means we know he is at least capable of playing in that extra 'playoff' gear.

    Asik really has trouble fetching and holding the ball. You have to hand it to him very gently within inches of reach. Lopez amazes me how agile he is for his size.

    WE already play no defense. Might as well get the best offense. (Personally I think Pop's system is best but Pringles is a close 2nd)

    D'Antoni is still light years above McHale and it's not even close.

    jesus did anyone else cringe their face off when barkley was trying to explain who had more pressure on them tonight and then in game 6. he contradicted himself multiple times and i think at some point just gave up and started babbling

    So McHale does have high expectation for Lin, just like Lin fans.

    I like D'Antoni a lot, but hell no. Dwight + D'antoni would be a wasted season.

    at this point there is the same amount of pressure.

    Rockets are playing for their lives and Portland does not want to play a game 7 on the road (who does?) because literally anything can happen in one game. Jeremy Lin could drop 50 and 25...who knows.

    Lillard scoring 26 is expected, Matthews scoring 27 is unacceptable.

    Harden outscored the Blazers the last 6 minutes of the game and played good defense down the stretch.
