    Can I change my prediction? Actually, it is probably right, I just don't want it to be true. Anyway, Rockets have lost home court advantage. So, it is going to be tough, tough, tough. Still possible but whoa, got to win the first game on your home court.

    Good game. Harden was just tired. If they are really a good team they should win on the road.

    Seriously though - Refs brought the blazers back like 3 times this game. The control they have over the outcome is ridiculous. NBA legitimacy will always, always be questioned IMO. Game of thrones time.

    Well, the Rockets definitely gave this one away. I won't use the word "choke", but they were in control with 4 1/2 minutes left in regulation and basically handed Portland a lifeline by not executing. Howard did make free throws down the stretch, but he also bricked enough to force McHale to take him out of the game. And the rest of the team was useless on defense(why not put Asik back in BTW?) which allowed the Blazers to come back quickly.
