Western Conference Semifinals: (1) San Antonio vs. (5) Portland

that possession on LMA was brutal...

 

it's safe to say that the blazers are who they thought they were. the problem is the rox weren't who we thought they were.

 

i mean we thought they were in portland's case too, obv.

 

SMH. So many of y'all are so down on the Rockets. We were .9 away from a game 7. We were the better team. A few bounces, calls and TOs go a different way and we would have been up 3-1 ourselves.

 

It's hard not to be salty, though. If we were blown out in all our losses, then it'd be a different story.

 

They're taking away LMA's jump shots and forcing him to fight in the paint

 

If LMA got those calls against him in our series... man

 

They call offensive foul on LA, but never did that for us!

 

I'm in shock, LMA called for an offensive foul??? Wow!

 

Offensive foul on Aldridge....he did that **** the whole series against Houston.

 

seems like it's the same "if" sorta story for this franchise the past decade.

 

Exactly. Critical coaching errors was the difference between Wins and Losses. I'd rather have been blown out, if I were to believe we just had a less talented team.

In a way, seeing San Antonio pick Portland apart makes me feel better about losing the last series. The reason being, we more than likely weren't going to beat the Spurs anyways, given the way our team is coached and players executed plays.

On another note, anyone who has played organized basketball knows how much of a difference, a well structured team with good ball movement makes vs a team that plays pick up streetball style.

We play like we're on the playground playing pick up ball with all the Iso. The Spurs play a well organized game with good off-the-ball movement AND good passing with ball movement.

 

Its enough to piss a guy off. How many times did LMA use his forearm to clear out space to shoot on Asik, TJ, and DH, and never got called for it... further proof the NBA sucks azz.

 

how the eff does lilliard make those type of layups

 

defense not even once lol

 

This would be one heck of a comeback if the Blazers can do it.

 

LOL every time blazers makes a point spurs hits them back with another one.

 

Spurs are too good.

We have a long way to go.

 

just lol at the blazers

 

SA doing what the Rockets couldnt; close out games
