    It has nothing to do with selfishness. Just low IQ players.

    The sequence that says it all

    The sequence that says it all:

    I wish I had a video but at the 3-2 minute mark in the 2nd quarter. Harden plays his non-defense again, but this time his gamble to go around Matthews for the steal pays off and it goes off his foot onto the court. Now what happens next....?? NOTHING!! Batum is able to pick up the ball without any resistance or fight from our guys, nobody dove on the floor, nothing. That shows you right there, why we are not worthy of winning. I prefer an undermanned squad of 07-08 who hustled over this group any day.

    How the hell can this team not keep a double digit lead?

    They are better than the 5th seed. They were the 2nd seed most of the season until late.

    Lopez has 3 blocks already. Who knew sideshow Bob could defend and rebound this well. He's also contributing offensively with 4-7 fgs.

    Parsons needs to sit for Hamilton and Garcia. Seriously. He is playing too much.

    Somehow we have 53 shots to only 44 for the Blazers, despite being outrebounded. Blazers only have 2 more free throws than Rockets. Blazers shooting well while we continue to stink it up at below 40%.

    Harden not shooting well but loving his demeanor and body language.. of course I'd love to see him hit shots, but great to see the effort

    They just showed you they can. I think the truth of the matter comes down to length.

    That's the biggest edge Portland has had on us this whole series.

    Its almost unfair but it is what it is and its showing hard in this series.

    He's obviously trolling. No real basketball fan is that ignorant about difference of plus/minus and PER.

    They should go back to feeding Howard. Lopez can't check him.

    If the rockets want this they have to set a tone on defense right from the get go this half. Use all of your energy on defense and rebounding, make subs and take control. Go into the 4th with a double digit lead.
