I have actually watched a fair number of Rockets games this year. With that being said, there is a difference between being able to hit big shots and becoming a consistent 2nd scoring option.

That Halfcourt offense revolves around Harden and if he has 2-3 more shooting nights like last, Houston won't win.

Lin and Parsons both have the ability to go on tears and put points on the board. They aren't the caliber of player as Lillard is though

Harden sucked arse and Aldridge puts up 46 and the Blazers rebounded their asses off and it still took a lot of good fortune for them to pull a win out of their arse.

Houston had many opportunities to put the game away and they didn't.

Might be a good thing that they lost so now they can correct the dumb stuff they did to lose the game.

Lol. On the mobile. Have no idea how duplicate happened.

I think C-Webb said it best, Houston's perimeter D sucks.

I don't think C-Webb has seen much Rockets basketball this year either, tbh. Probably less than you and Dr Rosenbert.

I think it will be tied 2-2 when game 5 rolls around. Sucks losing such a close game though.

You realize that their perimeter defense outside of dirty Beverly has been mediocre all year. The interior defense has carried them most of the year, and Howard is still Howard on that side of the ball.

You act like anyone seeing the cracks in this team are just now watching, but honestly most people have seen it coming all year. Same thing with people that ignored the fact that Portland's success had a lot to do with not having any major injuries through the first 3/4 of the season.

Houston could easily win this series because Lillard and Harden are identical. Both are amazing offensive talents that don't give a crap or are mediocre to just awful at defense.

Houston has the advantage of Parson's offensively, but he's not the dominant player that Aldrige is offensively.

Howard's defense is still very good but not as dominant as before and can't offset the team's other issues.

In the end, this is a toss-up, but losing home court advantage is what likely does in the Rockets.

I picked Houston in 6 to win because I thought Beverly would be able to somewhat contain Lillard. No Beverly = Rockets bounced in the 1st round. Late in the game, Lillard went from barely being able to get the ball / LA fouling out just to help him receive the ball, to doing whatever he wanted to Lin.

Question:

Do Rockets fans regret the Howard move after seeing the whole Howard/Asik situation play out this season? Considering the team could have feasibly had a lineup of

Teague (or waited a year on a decent class with Lowry, Bledsoe, Thomas)/Harden/Parsons/Millsap or Jefferson/Asik with a deeper bench (in Millsap's case) and less long term commitment. I have a hard time believing they would have a hard time getting FAs to come there after last year.

Most people have seen this coming all year? riiiight

'Most' people picked Houston to win the series. This is the same BS I was just talking about. After ONE game, all of a sudden it's "I told ya so" No offense but GTFO here with that "I told ya so" especially when you havent beeen posting in Rockets threads all year.

IDK why people underrate Batum so much. He's easily a more rounded player than Parsons, even on the offensive side of the ball.

ehh no, Lin was on Batum or Matthews late. Parsons was the primary defender on Lillard. But just go ahead and continue to make up what sounds good in that little bird brain of yours.

I don't think the Spurs fans would get it as bad as the Rockets do. Clutch City is the team everybody loves to hate these days, and I love it.

Dude, Houston definitely still has a chance in this series but if you don't think their perimeter defense is a problem you're a blind homer.
