    Harden's lack of defense is really disgusting, playing no D in the regular season is 1 thing, but in the playoffs? what the actual ****

    I don't care about the FT's.

    I do care about the nit-picking calls of moving screens x 2 and the palming the ball call on Beverly.

    Those are calls the refs can make any time they want to, on any given screen and on any NBA guard making a cross-over dribble.

    The fact that they focused in on calling it this game is befuddling.

    It was hard to end the half without a center but both DH and OA with 3 fouls. Dwight better play more focused in the 2nd.

    Lin needs to get more PT in the 2nd half to see if his hot play will continue. Bev is underachieving so far

    The blazers have a moving screen on every play. No call on the screeners but at least two on our defending guards.

    Can this be reported to NBA?

    It's so bad that it's almost looking like a fix. How the hell does a team that averages over 31 foul shots a game attempt ZERO in the entire first half at home while the other team gets 17?! And don't tell me the Rockets are settling for jumpers. Dwight, T-Jones, Lin, Parsons, and even Harden(although not as much as I'd like) are attacking the hoop. None of them are getting calls.

    After that one time out, momentum just disappeared.

    Game was playing at a crazy pace. When it slowed down we lost all momentum.

    Portland starters are owning ours. We only capitalized on their bad bench and ours playing well

    Harden contributes in different ways which is good, but his hasn't played that well overall in the first half.

    It's this simple...Harden is NOT going to play defense...PERIOD. And these refs are comical.

    What? Harden has great stats against Portland throughout the regular season. Blazers aren't ready for him.
