    rockets up 7 at the half. can't ask for much more. the team played great until the last 4 minutes or so. lapses like that happen every game with the rockets.

    --DMO actually played pretty good D and showed some nice offensive moves.
    --Harden had an amazing 1st quarter then cooled down
    --Asik has had some trouble defending LMA but the guy can't miss--its not all his fault
    --Garcia started out hot 3-3 from 3 and then got cold
    --Jones didn't do much but kept the flow
    -Lin has been solid at creating plays
    --beverly with a few monster plays and blocks

    We are clearly the better team. Not lets see if the Rockets can mentally close the game

    Lin and Bev did great together. They both did an awesome job guarding the Blazers’ guards. Also liked seeing Lin and Bev on those couple of give and go plays too.

    Late in the 2nd half there a few possessions where Harden held up the ball at the top of the key. On one he had Lin wide open on the left but hesitated and didn’t pass to him, then on the next possession he hesitated on passing again which resulted in a turnover and a Lillard steal and layup. He’s got to stop doing that when the team was doing well moving the ball beforehand.

    Of course LaMarcus Aldridge returns from injury to play against the Rockets...

    Harden got too excited there for a while. Adjustments will be made and rockets will expand the lead in the 3rd.

    Probably Harden. Blame all defensive mistakes on James Harden

    LOL... I was saying the same thing. He's standing there, 17-feet from the basket, and no one is guarding him. It's like, do we even know he knocks that shot down?

    Like the Spurs, we should focus on defense more than getting the rebound. Don't force it, just play hard D.

    I was shocked by Harden's lack of D on Lillard at the end there.

    Blazers did all they could and they're still down by 3 possessions.

    He also carried us first quarter but didn't hear much on here about that ... not surprising.

    I've been saying this whole time the guy has legit game. After this offseason he could be our starter.

    are you dumb? I want ball movement, it has nothing to do with Lin ... :rolleyes:

    Nevertheless, this team is great! :grin: I can see the talent.

    let's bring back the Jlin-Bev combo in 2 half, it is effective.
