[chunticakes]

lmao harden playing d.

[Mugen]

I think the Rockets lose this series in 7 tbh

[Robz4000]

Nah they'll be tired as . Plus we'd whoop their ass. Quit being a pussy

Spurs are gonna be tired as , with an older core and our best offensive player hobbled.

Do you realize how many OT games these guys have been in and how long their starters have played already? They look as old as our players right now by how tired they are..

[baseline bum]

Whoever owns this

And look at Harden's playoff stats

[RD2191]

Blazers in 6 was my original prediction.

[Mugen]

that cuunt hair Mo Williams talking to a D Leaguer and backing it up with a 4pt game

[Splits]

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...hardeja01.html

He's not playing with the 2nd best player in the league and taking more shots than him.

[DPG21920]

Well done HOU. Keep this thing alive for a little while longer.

back to Choke Williams

Harden should be thanking Dwight/Lin/Parsons for bailing his ass out Reggie Jackson style tbh

[Arcadian]

Howard thanking 'god' for barely surviving elimination in a first-round game 5 against a lower seed... this guy

[djohn2oo8]

Dwight's played big this series. Christ if Harden could play ONE full game with decent defense the series would have been over.

Both teams will be about the same level of exhaustion, with Houston having the matchup advantage. I'll take a jumpshooting Portland team with players the Spurs have the personnel to stop.

Yep. Think the media overall has been pushing the Howard bad Harden good angle but it's not true

they don't have the damn match-up advantage

Exactly, someone gets it. The Howard hate is so irrational on here. Give me someone that plays both ends with their heart out every game.

The Scapegoat coming up big

[sook]

He did, but he cost us a ing game, which I won't let go.

its a 4-5 matchup. Not like its a 1-8 matchup.

Harden stepped it up with some big shots and played D to help win.

LOL at LMA looking lost when he does NOT get the Phantom calls! He sucks when the refs don't give him the ticky-tack sissy .

Howard has been great in this series, his 2-way play has been outstanding, especially down the stretch..if he had a different personality, his style of play would be beloved, tbh..this is a league where fans idolize limited players like Joakim Noah..

I've always defended Dwight, but he's a huge , very unlikable..

Harden isn't producing on offense and he's playing historically bad defense..he deserves most of the blame, obviously..

Sounds like somebody else in this series tbh.

[djohn2oo8]

It would be nice if McHale could run some plays for the best three point shooter the team (Daniels). At least one gdamn play.

[Roxsfan]

Sounds like somebody else in this series tbh.

that's how LMA avg. 44.5 pts in the first 2 games. He got EVERY call plus he was on some acid trip and hit some freaky-deaky lucky rainbow 3s over 7 footers............
