    2 moving picks and 1 carry already on the Rockets, who've yet to go to the line? Not to mention that after-the-fact foul for Wesley Matthews?

    I'm more stressed now than I have been in years...
    It was so easier to watch the playoffs last year when we weren't expected to win any games at all.

    As bad as we've played.....and we have played terrible, we're only down by 7.

    I can take that.

    Rockets getting outworked, outhustled early. Not a good sign.

    Portland was ready to play, Rockets were not.

    Turnovers, failed to rebound and Harden and Howard haven't done much. Harden need to attack the basket....did he just forgot his game?

    That was about as bad as it gets, and only down seven. If the officiating evens out, no worries, we got this.

    Howard is playing really bad right now.....hes struggling offensively but at least he could give more effort on defense and rebounding

    That's the glass is half full way of looking at this. The Rockets aren't shooting well. They've yet to attempt a single free throw while Portland is living at the foul line(thanks to completely one-sided officiating). They're getting destroyed on the offensive boards. And they've gotten virtually nothing out of their 2 superstars.

    Yet they're only down 7. If they can remedy just half of that, they can be competitive and win this game. But they better wake the F up!

    Smh. Crowd is doing its part.

    Our guys look a step slow on everything.

    Refs ticky tack calls arent helping. Two moving screens, a pamling violation, two late fouls against us on layups...

    We should run our offense so that we post dwight on the right block. He is so much better from that side.

    Can we run more Howard pnr? Howard's post game is terrible. Posting him up is not efficient offense.

    Only first 1 quarter, but I expected more fire from these guys. More passion. More effort.

    Not going to beat the blazers playing like this.

    refs and mchale losing with game for us more than H&H

    havent played twin towers in a while. why pull it out now when asik can't guard LMA 1-1 either? messes up our offense and doesn't help defense.

    A good thing is that neither Harden or Howard played well, we gave up 8 offensive rebounds and had 5 turnovers, yet we are only down 7. We just need to pick it up. Game 1 is always a lot of feeling out the other team.

    Harden and Howard might as well not even be on the floor. They are contributing nothing
