    I bet you tomorrow NBA is going to come out a pathetic statement saying that Portland actually fouled Howard at the end and he should have been rewarded 2 free throws lol. This bullshyt pathetic referees judgement calls are unacceptable and should be punished. They should get rid of these pathetic refs for failing to see what's happening in the game.

    I still can't believe our collapse down the stretch. Wednesday is must win or this one's a wrap. I really am just completely sad right now.

    Parsons can't create for himself...at all. The best way to use Parsons is as a slasher and spot up 3's.

    How come Bev didn't block out Lillard at the last sec tip in to force OT? Only Howard was there to fight for a rebound

    To some of the posters in this thread, there is a difference between being an optimist and willfully ignorant.

    The flaws the rockets have get magnified exponentially in the playoffs.

    Man and the crying after the no calls. Mchale was pleading for them to get back...

    LMA really looked like he wanted to win. I saw a little of that in Dwight but I didnt see that in Harden. Rockets were trying to get Harden the ball, but his defender didnt let him get the ball then harden just stopped. he just stopped working to get the ball.. man i feel really defeated..

    now rockets have to wait till Wednesday. They have a long time to think about this...

    We had the game in the bag until the hack-a-howard...and Harden froze in the last play when everyone knew he would get the ball and get gang banged. *SMH* hope we beat the crap out of them in game 2 to make it up.

    If Beverley is misses time we are ****ed. No one on our roster can guard Lillard other than him.

    Harden: We let up. Gave them a couple easy baskets. Gotta play better. Kinda rusty and shake it off. Get better in game two. 6 days since I been on the court. Sluggish and slow. I gotta pick it up.

    My read on this game was that it was a momentum game from the regular season. We were playing well and you weren't playing your best basketball.

    I expect that to change Game Two. I think the Rockets will come out breathing fire. I hope my Blazers can survive the onslaught.

    Because the league needs ratings from west coast fans. The other team is from Oregon remember.

    It is a seven game series and the Rockets can surge back. Portland may have played their best game. Now if they win the next one, then the Rockets can start making off season plans which likely will include a new coach. Disappointing night from Harden.
