    Understandable, in the last 7 playoff games his superstar Shooting Guard wasn't there. Kobe was injured & Harden has checked out mentally.

    Fran Blinebury is a weirdo...

    Wow, Dwight plays all 5 positions !! Does he coach also ? I mean this is pure bull. You can use statistics for anything. I'll tell you this...he isn't the reason for the loss tonight.

    You guys put a smile on my face.

    I still have a pinch of hope. If Harden just shows up like he did in that Spurs series and the other OKC playoff series then there is hope...

    The games were close and probably wouldn't be as close if Harden just had a decent game. He needs to have a pow wow with Hakeem, I think his confidence is shot.

    Just my opinion though.

    Us vets understand and await the inevitable down 3-0 and down 3-1. That three is a death sentence when you dont have at least two wins.

    Can't wait for the National Media to tear the team a new one. It should fire the players (especially Harden) up for game 3 and I am confident that this series is still far from over.

    Howard responded well from the criticism he got from Game 1.

    Yes, that is a LA reporter so there is some bias? there.

    See:

    Dwight did what he was supposed to do tonight. If he's not doubled he's gotta dominate but we can't win that way with portland staying home on our shooters. Harden has to break down the defense for this team to win. We only go as far as harden takes us.

    I think Lin played a fairly solid game, with excellent defense and some good assists, but overall seemed passive. He needs to shoot at least 15 shots a game.

    You wanna know why the stadium is empty during the regular season?? For this exact reason. Our fans and city get super hyped up for a winner as they enter a postseason only to be crushed by the disappointing result of yet another loss.

    You ask for fan support, and more involvement. But decide to fold like cheap paper when the pressure is real.

    **** him and **** LA. If weren't for Dwight these two games wouldn't have been even close. It's not his fault his coach is a clueless moron and his "star" teammate is MIA.

    I am not surprised. It is already starting for howard. Lakers fans cant wait to say it and already started. They dont have much to talk about nowadays. Expect this off season to be filled with howard regrets houston.

    Oh, he's in L.A. ? I thought A rash might be from Iraq or something. It doesn't seem possible that an actual reporter could be that dumb.

    My only complaint is Dwight needs to know when to pass out - they adjusted in the second half and 3 guys were just collapsing on him at the rim and he just kept trying to force the issue. Overall a good game from him though.

    We don't need to stop LMA, we just need to score more points than the Blazers. We should've have won Game 1, even with LMA scoring 40+ points.

    And if Harden and Parsons had somewhat decent games in Game 2, we should've won that one as well even with LMA scoring 40+ points.
