    Well there is always a first for everything, but hopefully this one ain't it.

    Hopefully.

    Portland will sweep rockets this season. Halfcourt offense has been rockets weakness all season and now its being exposed

    It is possible if Harden and Aldridge can get back to their normal selves.

    Rockets have never hired a black coach. Amirite?

    Time to hire Lionel Hollins or vinny del negro

    Double Aldridge immediately and gang rebound. Make Mathews, Batum, and Lopez beat you.

    If Portland has to shoot nothing but threes to beat us then I would have respected Mchale a lot more because that means he really made defensive adjustment to not allow Aldridge to score 40 plus.

    This is payback for 2009. That 2009 team actually played hard, had good D, played unselfishly. That 2009 team would be up 2-0 on Portland right now.

    I just remember Aaron Brooks killin them by constantly attacking. I see no reason why Harden can't do the same.

    Well, the rockets will make a history this time, a pretty much sure thing.

    This actually isn't true. Not everything happens. Jordan never lost an NBA Finals and there was never a first time for it.

    Its ****ing stupid because we are the living example of the inconsistency of three point shooting. I'd rather shut down midrange and the paint and give Portland threes.

    it's kind of like being on the titanic and we see the iceberg we are about to hit and maybe if we make the right move we can avoid it.
    the only way is to stop aldridge cold triple team if necessary and let the others beat us. i don't think lillard can carry Portland if Aldridge isn't effective. but on the other hand knowing our luck lately he'll end up scoring 55.

    What if Charlotte gets to the Finals when he is with them? Loophole.
