    It's called hedging. Portland is an elite offense because of their shooters playing off the post and Lillard penetration. Aldridge had a historic night last night and it still came down to a ref job that gifted them the game.

    Really entertaining first half. Howard and Aldridge are both playing at a high level. Harden still not in rhythm. Beverley playing well. Lin looked good at both ends of the floor but needs to take more shots. Danger for the Rockets is that Matthews and Batum look a lot better and Parsons hasn't gotten anything going. Lillard seems to be saving himself for the second half.

    I think Mchale has to risk doubling Aldrige, he is just playing in freaking god mode right now.

    And the refs have been horrible...

    The fact that the Rockets are only tied is concerning to say the least.

    If McHale coached the Blazers he'd still be letting Lopez guard Howard 1 on 1.

    could not agree more.


    Can someone explain to me why we don't put in DMO to purposely foul LMA

    :confused: I mean - he either makes a rainbow over asik or d12 or he is going to the line. Why not have DMO foul him intentionally - get him out his rhythm and force him to make his **** on the free throw line.

    Why not?

    btw, Charles fat ass barkley - shut your ass

    Seems like the plan was to lock down 1 of the 2 of them tonight - doing a good job of really limiting Lillard so far at least. Just hope Aldridge misses - something:mad:

    A agree with Barkley. Although Howard is beasting, it's not a good sign when Dwight is our go to offense.

    Parsons needs to do something with his life.

    Either we step it up on offense or play D on Aldridge. I don't have any doubts now that we might not win a game in Portland if this continues.

    Barkley and O'Neal need to chill. Feel like I'm watching Fox News.
