    I know some of us are still salty from the playoff loss, but this game is pretty evenly called. The Blazers would put up more of a fight than we ever could against the Spurs...

    umm forget the fall calls, Boris Diaw is putting buckets in 2 feet from the rim like nothing. They got such weak rim protection.

    Officiating was super bad. But we still would have overcome it if we're good enough.

    And the Blazers won't put up any fight at all. This will not be a long series.

    I dont know what you have been watching but the Spurs are getting away with alot on the defensive end. And I disagree with your assessment that Portland a jump shooting team could put up more of a fight than the rockets a paint scoring team.

    LMAO, the Blazers will run out of timeouts at this rate, and it's not doing them an ounce of good.

    The Spurs aren't getting any points at the line this game. Just from offensive rebounds and open 3's because of good ball movement. Something we lack.

    Spurs is schooling Portland again. This just shows how long the road to Champion for Houston, in other words, No Chance especially with McHale.

    They absolutely hate Dwight Howard. It's a shame.

    The NBA is stupid Hou/Sas would have been a way better series. Even with how ****ty we played if our series gets called straight we win

    Man, you guys are smarter than that. It's about match-ups... If you knuckle heads really think just because Portland is getting Dusted by the Spurs the Rockets would have shared the same fate is ridiculous.

    That 4-0 from the regular season is rather meaningless. The Spurs have found their high gear and are unstoppable on offense and sharp on defense. Look at what is happening to the Nets. The Rockets would not be much better off than the Blazers are now.

    sig update.

    You are kidding yourself if you think that Rockets would have beat the Spurs in the playoffs.

    This Spurs team, arguably, is better than last year's team and last year's team were a couple of seconds away from wining the whole thing.

    Regular season results are fool's gold. Just ask the Nets.

    At one point in the regular season, the Spurs were winless against all the teams with the winning record. That was regular season. This is the playoffs. Spurs cruise during regular season with Pops playing everyone limited minutes.

    If the Rockets would have met Spurs in the playoffs, Spurs would have methodically dissected the Rockets invisible defense. High turnover and undisclipled team stands no chance against the Spurs. Not to mention a struggling Harden in the playoffs.
