    Imagine if Lin played like Linsanity Lin.

    Harden probly doesn't wanna attack the rim because he knows the refs won't call the fouls he gets during the season.

    I think this should be obvious now after that sequence.

    But at least he's doing something. Harden is having another sh-tty game. The good news for the Rockets is that they're up with almost nothing out of Dwight and James. The bad news is the Blazers didn't exactly get much out of their star duo either. The difference in this game is the supporting cast of the Rockets stepping up big.

    If it's flu like symptoms, it'd be pretty energy sapping.

    Am surprised he can play at all, if so.

    A mix up is in order.. This is the type of game he'd thrive in.

    Lin played well the first half, thank goodness. Because Harden continues to disappoint, and Howard has been on the bench most of the first half.

    Yeah, with James Harden locked into hobo mod, we are going to lose the next game, even if we win this one on energy alone.

    We have a good chance of losing this one as well, based on our inability to keep leads.

    We have a 10 point lead because of high energy, not because we are making the right basketball plays necessarily.

    I am with you on this but Harden needs to stop looking for his shot and start creating for his team mates.

    Why can't Harden pull it together? He didn't play particularly well in the series last year, or the Finals prior to that too. Is he just a player who lights up a regular season, but can't do jack in the playoffs? But Lillard is playing amazing in his FIRST ever playoff series, are we just unlucky?

    Only Parsons and Lin showing they really want this game.

    Harden playing like he doesn't care.

    ****, what the hell did they do to him? The voodoo donuts must be more effective than I thought.

    Harden not shooting well but should at least not give up open layups.

    Lin had so many clear paths to the basket. Turns them all down for a dumb pass or shot.

    That airball maybe a bless in disguise. It will keep Lin under control in the second half.
