    They shot 36%! This game was a complete rockets failure.

    not that it matters anymore, but can someone tell me why Aldridge didn't play in the 4th Q against GSW? I was watching the game, but not listening to it.

    He reminds me of Kobe. Holds the ball way too long and is really reliant on the refs to bail him out.

    You need to watch more basketball if he reminds you of Kobe

    I haven't seen Harden much outside of a few OKC series. The Kobe oart is that he seems to expect a lot of cheap calls and takes an awful lot of contested jumpers. He doesn't cry quite as much as Kobe from what I can tell, but Kobe didn't really master that part of his game until post Shaq.

    They have completely different styles of play

    Yep, I said as much above. These kinds of players aren't nearly as valuable as their stats say.

    You do realize the rockets don't run plays right?

    Of course they run plays. You have a poster on this forum who has gone to the trouble to make a bunch of videos illustrating them.

    McHale himself says they don't really run plays or have an offense but instead they just go. I'm not worried about harden playing in a real offense if the rockets ever get one.

    OKC also hardly run any plays but isolations.

    clippy's a trolling idiot

    can anyone answer my question above. Why didn't Aldridge play the 4th quarter after scoring 30 pts? Portland went into full tank mode?

    Haha heystan, don't be so salty man. Just because I'm spot on with all my predictions is no reason to be jealous. You should listen... Maybe you'll learn something.

    If they win they do that hat thing with two other teams and possibly end up with the 12th pick as opposed to the 10th pick and more lottery balls.

    geez, dude. how stupid can you be. I burned you in my first encounter with you like you were a puppy on the internet and had no idea who you were dealing with. You are going to have to do a lot more to ever get me to speak to you again.

    Now, it's your turn to say to say..."oh, big guy with 27000 post thinks he's cool about embarrassing a newbie like me."

    Right. You go ahead and do that, if it makes you feel better.

    That's funny, the only thing I remember about you is that you have 28k posts, which is just unbelievable. Refresh me on what you "burned" me in because I've been pretty spot on with my predictions here.

    So, there was actually nothing wrong with Aldridge, and they did in fact tank the 4th quarter. I was watching the game, but no sound because the Rockets were on. All I know is Portland was within 2 and close for awhile...and no Aldridge.

    Lillard is easily stoppable without LaMarcus on the floor.
