Houston will not win Dwight being hungry for offense. Featuring him is a recipe for a series loss (He has no post moves and is a liability at the line).
Blazers guards are just as defenseless as Houston's. That's the advantage. Dwight needs to play some defense and clean up on the glass

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Can you blame us? Their record is not cause of his coaching.

If Bev's injury is serious, the Rockets are done in this series. Canaan just isn't effective enough to play big minutes.

I don't think it is. He continued to play, he simply fouled out.
He's done well against the Blazers continously this season. Without Dwight playing well (on the boards or offensively) we will be out of the playoffs in 6.
Harden too, can't jack up threes. Gotta get to the rim, pass, and play efficiently. Beverly did his thing, as did Jones and Parsons (aside from vanishing in the 2nd half).
It'll be a series full of close games either way. We don't win the next game the series is already over.

welp I have a really bad feeling about this...
Nice series win Blazers
"@patbev21 has a sprained right knee, the same knee he injured earlier this season. He is scheduled for an MRI on Monday."
"Howard sounded as if Beverley injury pretty serious. "It hurts all of us. We just have to step up here as a team and win it for him.""
""To see him (Pat) go down hurts. He sacrificed his body for us, now we have to sacrifice our body for him."- Howard on Beverley hurting knee"

Glad the Blazers won. Holy shit the refs were terrible. I watch Pac-12 football and these guys would fit right in there.

You guys knocking our wing defense must not watch much basketball. Mathews is a great defensive player, and Batum always contest with his length. But you can't stop great offensive players like Harden, you just hope to contain them.

Unbelievable how many mistakes rockets did in the crunch time of the game. Just bad decision after bad decision. Also McHales off timeout plays has got to be the worst of any HC's currently in the playoffs.
If he's gonna miss a game or games or the series which I hope not to happen, Then this is gonna be a quick exit for rockets.

I think Mchale is alright quarters 1-3. His problem is really crunch time he either goes full retard, or he just freezes the fuck up and has no idea what he should be doing. It's like he just standing there, but with no purpose.
I can't believe the Wizards have a legitimate shot at making the ECF. I don't know what the fuck the Pacers are doing.
Lin's actually played defense well against lillard earlier in the season. I think bevs defense is overrated since the rest of the package isn't as great. He's smaller, fouls alot, and isn't a play maker.
Id love to see D mo on Aldridge, Jones is undersized and outskilled in the match up

Why don't you sound as confident as this post in the other NBA thread?
C'mon man, cheer up

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Why they talking about Phil stepping in.. why would he tarnish his legacy taking over this team.

im kinda tired of the press' love affair with Phil lol.
But either way, this season was FAAAR from Mike Woodson's fault

Bulls need to rebound after that ugly loss. Wall's speed and Nene's post game are killing us. I still think we take it in 6.
Woodson finally gone! Time to clean house and get the rest of those fucks out starting with Melo. Him leaving and Felton going to prison would be a great jump start to the rebuilding, then I'd only have to watch Chandler, Amare, and Pasta play 1 last season together. Then there's JR Smith...

Two belated comments about last night's game:
1) Beverly's knee injury. On one hand, I hope it isn't serious. On the other hand, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. That YNB Karma.
2) I will no longer fall into the trap of thinking Dwight Howard is good or that he could lead a team to a championship. When the Lakers picked him and Nash up, I thought they had the west on lockdown. We saw how that turned out. When the Rockets picked him up this offseason to pair up with Harden, I again thought the Rockets would be the team to beat. Bottom line: I'm done overrating Howard. He's average, and doesn't have the ability to take over a game.
Kobe has been done for two seasons now. The worst thing the organization did was pay him. Keep collecting those paychecks, Kobe!
"After carefully reviewing coaching candidates, I've determined that the best fit for the team going forward is...me."
The Erie BayHawks released Chris Smith a month ago...he might be the missing piece!

Lol! Didn't realize it was the entire staff, that's even better than I expected.
theres a better chance of thibs going to nyk and phil playing for thibs then phil coming down to coach
the only reason orlando w howard made the finals, the czz were injury plagued and the cle lebrons didnt have anyone to stop the trio of jameer, turk, and dwight. lebron could only guard one person. add that the east was garbage that year too
so bulls have a 4pm presser today, last time it happened, derrick won mvp. speculation is that its either noah winning dpoty, or taj winning 6th man

This guy speaks true wisdom. Been saying this for a good while now.
Howard is such a damn diva
I dont like the way they completely clear when he posts up, theres almost no one there to grab the boards for his misses. Maybe if they have guys cut more but i see that happening less than half time.

Two years? You clearly haven't watched a single Laker game during that time. Kobe had one of his best seasons ever during 12-13 season before he went down with the Achilles injury, carrying the Lakers to the playoffs down the stretch. Arguably it was better than the year he won MVP. That's the reason the Lakers extended him. How he adjusts after his recent injury remains to be seen.

Kobe stan much? He played literally zero defense, chucked up over 20 shots a game, and was involved with more chemistry drama than usual.
Yes, I'm so impressed that he led a team with Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, and Pau Gasol into the playoffs. Fearless.
Dude is a black hole on the court and for the future of the organization. The whole league celebrated when the Lakers paid his injured ass to ride pine.
Kobe is done.

No, just someone who would actually comment on another player from actually watching them play. You said this:
This is beyond false and anyone who watched the Kobe and not even on a consistent bases would tell you he had one of his best seasons ever that year before he went down to injury and saw him carry and facilitate the Lakers offense because a) Nash was done and D'antoni couldn't rely on him and b) Howard was coming off a serious back injury and played sooner than anyone hoped.(didn't stop him from complaining about shot attempts however)
If you haven't watched the Lakers, that's fine. But don't comment when you clearly don't know what your talking about. Your recent post just was just a ramble of a casual nba fan that catches a game or two on NBA TNT and pretends to be a expert.

About time. Woodson was set up to fail but he went above and beyond when it came to losing.
