    Nice win. But man Capela has been really weak lately. Should go strong instead of trying to lay it up. Especially w a smaller guy on him. I’ve been saying this for a couple days now. He used to go strong but now he isn’t.

    Death lineup was more important on D than on O .

    Normally , I think your intuition would be spot on , but it's not like we took a great rim protector out . They had Vonleh or Davis in vs Meyers Leonard . Meyers Leonard is no great rim protector .

    I understand we had spacing and drew
    The big away from the basket , but even if there is a big there becuase Clint is in , when James or Paul drive to the rim and the big comes over to protect the basket ... They should be able to find Clint or a shooter easily .

    What the small lineup did more than anything was get turnovers and get out in transition .

    Blazers shot 43% from 3pt and made 18 of them.

    Lillard played out of his mind and made a record 9 3s.

    Rockets made 10 3s....the lowest I’ve witnessed in recent memory.

    After all that, Rockets won on the road coming from behind. Great team.

    I'm concerned about the Rockets next game on Monday. The first home game after being on the road a while can be tough.

    This is what we were hoping for in Crunch time CP3 and Harden.. Cp3 controlled the game so Harden had legs to go straight Iron Chef!

    Harden putting ankles in the soup!! THERE'S ANKLES IN THE SOUP!!! SOYLENT GREEN IS ANKLES!!

    It's great watching how easy the game becomes for CP3 and Harden when they are on the court together late in games. Any defensive adjustment to either of them is quickly countered by the other's ability to catch, rip through, and make a play for himself or a team mate off the rotating, broken defense. Combine that with the goons we have fighting on defense... this might be the only team in the NBA that could compete with the Warriors.

    Theres no doubt we lose this without Chris Paul. He gives us that 4-5 possessions of stability and lets Harden finish the rest. What an amazing addition. EAT THAT MEDIA

    Pat C. has been good all season. Just a good role player on O and D. Plus he looks like Jessie Pinkman. I've nicknamed him Chili P.
    Layman is still a project. As is Collins, but I like Collins' potential on the defensive side.
    Meyers is....... well..... Meyers Lemon.
