I honestly felt strongly this game 3 was going to be a win for us, before the game, near the end of regulation, and even in overtime when we were down 4. I predict that game 4 will be a blowout win by Houston. I think Rockets have got Blazers figured out, and Blazers probably had their soul sucked out tonight. The tides are turning in Rockets' favor...
We definitely have the momentum now but Blazers are still a tough tough team. We were lucky Aldridge didnt go of fon us again. I still feel confident we can win the next one and make a series out of this again going back to Houston.
Lillard had another good game, Aldridge had an okay game, and Parsons had another bad game. If Parsons can piece it together like Harden did today, there's no reason why we can't win game 4.
I don't have any clue what will happen with Game 4. I am just happy these guys fought hard. That's all you can ask at the end of the day. That they try.
i really think LMA was lucky to have made all those contested shots. He's never shot that well 2 games in a row. He'll regress toward the mean, and we just gotta shoot better. We been shooting way below our average, and we could have easily won game 1 also. Anywho, lets go rockets!
Replace none with demo. We win. Or teach asik how to dunk. It so hard to see him miss dunk after dunk.
We just need Harden and Parsons to have a good game. They've been doing it all season..surely they can do it for ONE game? Pretty please.
The Rockets win on Sunday. They have not played their best game yet. Harden is coming around, warming up, still not there yet. Lin can play a lot better. Parsons could actually show up. Asik could make lay ups. Bev looks surprisingly healthy. The Blazers have played out of their minds thus far. They have made circus shots time and time again. I don't think that will continue. Howard has been steady, but even he can elevate his game. I expect the Rockets to return to Houston with the series tied.
Parsons needs go get his game back... Batum is pwning him in all facets of the game. Harden needs to remain aggressive. Ugh I hate his isolation dribble dribble jump shot. Even tonight, Blazers missed a lot of GREAT looks that they hit in games 1-2. That three by Batum at the end was WIDE open! Aldridge missed a lot of wide open (for his standards) jumpers as well.
Might be the first blow out of the series...Not sure who...would love it if it is our Rockets as... 1. Harden has yet to return to his efficient self(but on a side note, the guy was getting to the rim with mixed results) 2. Parsons has yet to prove how he is better than Batum who torched him for the 2nd straight game. 3. LMA destroyed us in Houston and Lillard has seemingly picked up the mantle destroying the lane down the stretch of the game. 4. The Portland bench is getting significant scoring from everyone in a timely fashion. Once again...tough to win at a place like Portland, but the Rockets are equipped to do it. Harden is right, if Portland loses again at home in game 4, the series shifts back to Houston as a best of 3. GO ROCKETS!!! Rip their hearts out!!!
