NBA: Rockets (#4) vs Blazers (#5) Playoff Series Thread

[Clipper Nation]

Why is every Houstonfan posting that the refs were terrible and expecting sympathy? They were terrible in a way that blatantly favored your team for most of the game

Another 45/15 is maybe doubtful but for a big man with the skills and worldly talent of LMA's caliber, why not. Plus it's not like the Houston defense can do anything about it.

Oh come on... "skills and worldly talent" is just a just a bit too much don't you think? At the end of the day, he's just a fadeaway jump-shooting big man who had a really good game. Outside of Dirk, it's kind of hard to see any other big man that can replicate that kind of success on a constant caliber throughout the playoffs

Just here for the beat down per par

Not sure if I should be worried that both of these teams scored 120 or that they both allowed 120.

In a way it killed their offensive flow tbh. They started getting too ref reliant and Portland punked them.

Congrats on ur spurs win over Mavs today.

That's their own damn fault for being unable to score against a playoff defense and needing the refs to bail them out....

For as much as the Clippers and RefKC get for flopping/officiating, at least both teams can score legitimately when they have to.... the Rockets are clueless when they're not getting every call, as evident from the first quarter....

Thanks man. I appreciate it. Sorry your Rox couldn't pull it out for you and your fellow fans. Should be a good long series.

Don't sweat it. I go ape when the Spurs lose. Just some passionate fans.

Oh please if a scrub like Danny Green can go off in the Finals if handled correctly then LMA, who obviously has more talent, can drop another 40 on the Rockets.

[spurraider21]

Lillard scored over 30 AND beverly fouled out. his impact won't be felt as much as some think

[HI-FI]

- I see you need to fix your sarcasm fixed. No way in would I ever root for LeBronze. I'd rather see Tammy D get number 5.

though it's going to take a somewhat of a miracle. the Least looks as ty as ever, if that's even possible. though them Wizards could be a surprise.

[Roxsfan]

Yep batman, if Patman is out it may be over.

It's mind-boggling. They threw money at stars like Dwight and Harden and quasi-stars like Lin and Parsons but it's Patrick Beverley who determines the course of the Rockets.

[HI-FI]

c'mon my dude, you were right there calling it out with me. Spurs have a solid shot, but as we've seen in the past its hard to win when the NBA strongly favors the other team.

i was just joking. I actually agree with what you said, NBA officiating, especially this time of year, puts me on ing edge.

there is a chance though that Spurs might receive help. I think Silver genuinely respects the Spurs a lot, and Peter Holt was instrumental in him getting the job, not to mention Holt is one of the main nigs on the Board of Governors. But i agree, OKC and Houston get a lot of calls. Houston because of Harden, OKC is something else though. I think Spurs need to play one step ahead of that stuff so it doesn't bother them.

Agree. But Patman is a pit bull.

check the expiration date on that hummus son.

i gotta watch a replay of this one. it was such a trainwreck, i missed out on parts though.

[Clipper Nation]

Harden
Choker
Basically a better Corey Maggette with a jump shot
Look at how clueless he is when he realizes he's not getting bailed out for once

He's the one guy on that team with any balls, and the guy McHale can play on a regular basis without killing some of the other guys egos...

heck, even Francisco Garcia probably has more huevos than Dwight and Beard combined...
