    They hit clutch shots.
    Their stars stepped up.
    They got the loose balls.

    Even though the blazers won 3 coin flip games...they made the plays to put themselves in position to win.

    Their *stars* push off every play. They had the refs in their corner all series. They won't make it past the next round. Plus they reach like mo fos

    agreed.

    Terry Stotts >>>>>>>> Kevin Mchale
    Damian Lillard > James Harden (showed up for 1 game)

    Maybe not. That last out of bounds plan on the baseline was very questionable. I was watching on ballstreams and the chat erupted when that happened. Blazer fans were going nuts. I still don't know if it was the right call or not.

    That's debatable. The Rockets handed them Games 1, 4, and 6. I guess you could say the Rockets didn't deserve this series. I'd agree with that assessment.

    Are you people blind? The refs have been gifting the Blazers calls ALL SERIES. Blazers didn't deserve ANYTHING.

    I call bullsh**, no way did Portland deserve this win. They had a probably 60/40 advantage from bad officiating the ENTIRE series. There was not one game that was officiated in favor of the Rockets and in at least 2-3 extremely close games the refereeing heavily favored the Blazers.

    Agreed. They out hustled us while our Star sulked through 5 games and our 6th man booted the ball out of bounds. We are not ready. We need to dump Parsons, Lin, and Asik, and pick up some defense and Carmelo.

    Amazing performances by Aldridge and Lillard. Couldn't contain LMA first 2 games, then Lillard heated up right after.

    Portland was the better team and they deserved to win. The only positive to me was that Houston played their asses off. McHale isn't a good coach, but they played hard for him. Oh well...

    All things equal, the BBA has apologized for two calls against the Rockets. But I still think the refs leaned towards Portland more than that.

    They were the better 4th quarter team for sure. More poised, better game plan.

    Respect to Dwight Howard. He earned his money in the postseason. The rest of the guys were too up and down.

    Rockets absolutely choked away games 1 and 4, so I guess the Rockets deserved to lose with their r****dness, but I wouldn't say the Blazers deserve to win.
