    Being so limited right now with options, I'd like to see a Harden, Rivers, Green, House, Capela rotation. A lot of youth, athleticism, and shooting to surround Harden.

    Can you imagine this team with E.G. And CP back to go along with Rivers?

    Rivers was on fire

    Green with the intensity

    I wish we still had Montrez. I know Morey tried. Man, if we had kept him, I could only dream.

    mike callahan was the lead official for game 7.

    harden had 7 FT attempts tonite.

    the overall FT discrepancy was also basically the difference in the score.

    additionally, evan turner has to be one of the least likeable players in the league. he is the epitome of b****.

    Can’t win having to beat injuries, refs, and your own coaching staff, unless harden has a 70 point triple double. It appears that all the coach is relying on

    Mayn it was frustrating to watch tonight.

    Has anyone noticed the past games where we were down, we take pj tucker off and inserted house at the 4 and that is when we catch up to leads.

    Also why is Ennis even in the rotation, come on mayn.

    Good game guys, from a Blazers fan. Harden missed some tough shots that he usually makes. I'm not certain it was great defense by my squad, but more playing defense without fouling Harden too many times. That's where he kills us usually. Rivers looks like a good pickup for you guys. Fits much better than MCW. That was a miss.

    I thought that 3 shot foul was called wrong. Seemed like a foul on the floor before the shot. I thought it should have been 2 fts for Tucker. But, it happens.

    See you guys around.

    1 loss to 8th seed.

    Nurkic is a cheaper and better player than Capela.

    Good gosh, that ****'s infuriating.

    Knight played pretty decent first half and only got like two minutes second half. House has been our second best player both offensively and defensively, yet he almost doesn’t play at all second half for a player with 0 points on 1 shot and only 4 rebounds.

    He's also a little older. Some of the lift isnt always gonna be there.

    I think I'll go cry in a corner now thinking about how Harden is still young as hell and I'm an old fart compared to him.

    This was like a flashback to early-season Rockets.

    Horrible defensive decisions time and again.

    Had thought we got away from that and it was recognised during our win streak.

    Oh well.

    Fingers crossed this is a blip and D'Antoni doesn't resort to this sh*t approach again.
