    Lin has no basketball IQ for as smart as he is. He has to stay on Batum - he blew his assignment.

    Harden's D tonight >> Lin's D

    Really tough to watch this teams lack of heart. It is ok to lose as long as we go out punching. However, down 0-2 there is still no sense of urgency outside of P Bev.

    Can't agree with this. Offense is basically Dwight post-ups and Harden ISO's. Looking real ugly this series.

    The difference in how the game has been called the whole series has been outright STAGGERING. You watch...they will not let Dwight hang around because they know HE can hurt Portland.

    I honestly think the NBA has just agreed to not give those fouls to anyone. Because Harden has been legit fouled twice and bad calls each time.

    One thing I hate about NBA basketball is that the refs give a player like Harden calls during the regular season, and then completely do a 180 and don't give him those same calls in the post-season.

    I don't care which way they call it... just be consistent so that the player knows in a general sense what he can do and what he cannot do.

    It's not right to let him do certain moves during the year and then completely pull the rug from under him during the playoffs.

    Either make the calls for both the regular season and the playoffs or don't. But be consistent.

    Was Batum Lin's man? If so, bad D man.

    He needs to make shots otherwise refs will think he's just trying to get fouled instead of play real offense

    Unfortunately, this does weigh on the minds of the refs.

    If Harden just looked to score every time, rather than just draw the foul, he'd get more leeway.

    Batum and Matthews have a 3 each. I don't care if Harden is guarding Batum, make him pick up the gaurd closet to him and go to Batum. I'd rather he score posting up the small guard then giving up a 3. He scores in the post then hold Harden responsible, but don't give the corner 3...erghh

    The D is better but once again they leave a player wide open for a 3. Lin needs to step up tonight since Harden is a now show, stop complaining.

    They should give Dwight a breather. So he has something in the tank in 4Q
