    You don't bench a guy like Harden because he's struggling in the playoffs. We need to keep him in for him to get out of his slump. He helps the team in other ways. I swear, some of you guys...

    Harden needs to play better no doubt but does it feel like the refs are making a point to not give him calls

    Okay we are up 8 after one and Harden has continued the worst stretch in 2 games we have seen him play in months.

    He needs to attack the basket and quit shooting mid range shots. I'm feeling very good about this game and I'm glad McHale was able to run the TT for a significant amount of time. It's clear that it works against Portland.

    Imagine Twin Towers from game 1 of this season? Team would have at least 70 wins.

    Howard felt he let the team down from missing all those freethrows, he's taking matter into his own hands!

    best sequence--Asik's steal off Lillard and Bev's transition basket

    Asik came to play.

    Sit Harden out first, and let the bench find their rhythm

    I would try to get Dwight 2 minutes rest here and there. That's it.

    Harden will be fine- we're up by 9 and Harden hasn't scored a bucket? Sounds good to me. He'll have a big 2nd half, methinks. You never worry about one bad game- I've seen Charles Barkley have 1 for 14 shooting nights, LeBron go cold, etc. Just wait until the 2nd half- he'll step up.
