    I yelled when Parsons made the layup.

    I saw the time and I knew they still have a lot of time.

    The rest was history after that.

    I cried.

    After Parsons made the shot, I didn't cheer. I went into the kitchen and almost hit the counter, but I didn't because it wasn't my home.

    Diehard Rockets fans have seen this story all too often. The NBA clearly does not care about us.

    The first thing I said is DONT LET LILLARD TOUCH THE BALL, I don't care if matthews or williams or batum shoot it, mchale is a joke of a coach.

    Yeah, same here. I yelled "NO!" when I saw Lillard coming for the ball, and THAT open!

    I don't even remember the Roy shot, because we won that series.

    this is one that I said to myself after Chandler scored, as he told his teammates to mellow down,

    "don't make history tonight, make it Sunday"

    and the unthinkable but all too predictable happened.

    since March of last year, when we gave Milwaukee the game in the same fashion, I have been petrified of this scenario happening again.

    When I saw .9, I thought they should start the clock early then make them replay with .8 just for fun.

    The way Lillard has been hitting those 3s throughout the series and especially in this game, oh yeah we all knew it was coming. But we were hoping we could somehow defend that shot.

    It's just, I saw the whole thing happening in effing slow motion man.

    Like, I saw they was doing the double screen for Lillard, yet NO ONE saw this?

    ight when I saw 0.9, I said "they're only shooting 3s." Right when I saw the formation, I said "Lillard's gonna run around the top of the key for a 3. Don't get stuck on a pick!"

    I guess McHale said in the huddle, "Okay, let Lillard shoot a wide open 3. Protect the paint!" lmao

    I imagine every one was thinking the same thing: Lillard is going get that last shot.

    And surely the coaches knew this too--that was the best play they could draw up??

    *sigh*

    I didn't know they would hit a three but if there's one player I didn't want taking the shot it was definitely Lillard.

    I'm sorry this happened guys. It's a tough way to lose. I do think the Rockets are the better team.

    What are you talking about? The Roy shot was in the regular season.

    Only way they could have won was with the three pointer. I was just thinking, "Don't let them get a three pointer." Sigh.
