Rox 108, Blazers 103 Harden: 36 (11 for 19) Dwight: 28/18/4 Asik: handles LMA on D Bev: kills Mo Toyota Center: erupts after tr3y daniels splashes a 3 over Mo's corpse Lin's minutes goes down to 10, Daniels minutes upped to 18ish Lilliard: 28 Aldridge: 19 Batum: another very good all around game, 14/7/4/4 Wes Mathews: your girly flops will not fly in Htown Feel free to add yours!
If the Rockets have any kind of pride they'll stomp the Blazers in game 5. Then in game 6 we will play well through first 3 quarters and build a double digit lead. Then the inevitable 4th quarter collapse. Blazers in 6.
Harden needs to attack the way he did last night in the final minutes he was getting past mathews like wasnt even there, if he could be that aggressive all game....man
i have a bad feeling they come out strong, build a 10 point lead by the half, gets it cut down to 4 by the 3rd quarter and ultimately fall apart and end our season in the 4th. I hope I'm wrong, but the way the series is going I can totally see this. By quater 1: 31-22 Rockets 2: 58-48 Rockets 3: 79-76 Rockets 4: 101-99 Blazers
Well, it has been insane these past few games. More like Linsanity --- in a very bad way. A good Linsanity? An okay Lin? Anything but a bad one! ----------------------------- We win games five and six. When we play on TNT, we win 33.33% of the games. It is not as high as our ESPN games, but we should win the next two games. At least according to statistics. Game seven will be an interesting matchup though.
Rockets STILL haven't played a "complete" game, but they are running out of time. Game five is an elimination game. Win or go home. Being eliminated at home would be crushing in so many ways. I am sure they will try to avoid it. If they are blown out at home and eliminated, I expect BIG changes.
If the lose game 5 at home, you are more than correct big changes are coming. Just guessing, a new head coach, followed by the trade of Parsons, Jones, Asik and Lin. Parsons has to be included as he will be the coveted asset that will get those trades to go through.
We got them right where we want em. Overconfident in the wins they've "earned". Williams shows their flawed mindset and maturity. Rox in 7.
I think the rockets played well except for the last stretch and losing those leads. this is the playoffs, they won't have a regular season type game here. Defenses are tigther, it's harder to score.
hah...yes. the rockets have certainly had their struggles. the learning curve is apparent, it it will be beneficial long-term but they will close this one out.
