Sarcasm? :grin: That is true about the Blazers. But what is else should be taken into consideration is that despite Harden/Parsons/Lin all throwing out putrid performances, the offense still stayed on par. Of course offense is going to be inconsistent. Every offense is inconsistent, even the infamous Spurs offense. That's where the phrase "Basketball is a game of runs" came from. Look at LMA itself to illustrate that point. However, over the course of the series, the production was on par of the regular season, despite Harden/Parsons/Lin not producing (Thanks Howard!). I just don't see a reason to believe the offense, now with the addition of Howard, cannot have playoff success.
