    15 rebounds including 6 offensive ones. He and Howard did an exceptional job to protect rim and crush the Blazers!

    Hope he continue to contribute at such a great level for the rest of the playoff!!!:grin:

    Just wish he would stop picking up stupid fouls but hard to complain with the way he's been playing. He's a vacuum on the glass with any rebound near him.

    Now, if he could only finish at the rim more often without getting blocked.

    Don't be greedy, pal. You have to give Lopez credit for being a great shot blocker.

    Than we have to give him 3 times his salary. More realistically someone else will as we can't afford to Howards.

    Wonder if Dmo will ever see time when the TT gets in foul trouble. Could have used a tall guy for some minutes when Asik fouled out. Lopez was whooping up for a while there.

    I honestly believe we would've lost this series if it wasn't for Dwight and Omer. They are both keystone piece to this run.

    Anyone else completely annoyed with Robin Lopez? He has playing very well for them and is the reason they are up in this series. His D on Dwight is suspect but he is able to protect the paint in transition and on drives. Him and LMA have done a good job keeping Harden from getting to the rack and Parsons at times. There have been several blocks by Lopez and LMA on dunk attempts and it annoys me to no end. Hopefully Lopez comes back down to earth a little. Asik and Howard both have got to put in a full game. Keep them off the boards.

    Oh no doubt. Dwight has made some huge plays and Asik is consistently very solid. It would have been ugly if they were not playing great ball.

    I know its doubtful - but i really hope we keep Omer through next year. He really is the kind of player you want on your team

    Agree, he played well. I just wish he could finish better around the rim sometimes. I swear the rockets miss more layups than any other team in the league.

    We'd be long dead in the series without Asik. I'm glad we didn't trade him for peanuts.

    I hope we give the twin tower lineup another shot next season regardless of what happens this postseason

    Omer's impact was HUGE. He is showing what hard work means.
