If Daniels misses that 3.....

Mo Williams?? I think Mo was still lying on the ground near the 3 point line....

 

and a 25 year old, 6'1" Patrick Beverley out-rebounded a 6'11" LMA to win the game. Truth!

I guess Morey doesn't know a thing about basketball

 

yeah but that was one hell of a rebound!!! He got up even with a bad knee!!

 

If Harden took a shot but missed instead of losing the ball, we could have lost the game.

 

If Lin lobbed it to Dwight for a slam dunk ... that's only 2 points. Which means that at the other end, the Rockets need to defend against a game winning 3-pointer AND a 2 point jumper or layup that would have tied it and forced 2OT.

Kicking it out to Daniels was a high risk play .... but the reward is that the Rockets are up 3-points and the Blazers needed a 3-pointer to tie. That puts much less pressure on the Rockets defense.

 

If Troy missed, DH would have been there to rebound the ball with someone much shorter than him defending.

 

If Daniel miss it, our season is over........shouldn't come down to it.....hope we win next two games....

 

If:
Harden loses the ball out of bounds
Harden shoots and misses
Parsons does not foul out
Lin passes to Howard who is fouled
Refs call a loose ball foul on Lin
Mo Williams miraculously calls a timeout
Lin slips
Daniels misses

then we could have lost.

And there are literally 1,000 things that could have changed the outcome of game 1.
