Are you that clueless?

Orlando was top 10 3pt % defense every single year with fricking Redick, Nelson, and Turkoglu on the perimeter.

The fact is you can overplay and force the drive when you have Howard down low.

You're dumb.

yea I'm the dumb one yet you're arguing that a top 10 defense NBA is the worse that you've seen.

This is the playoffs though. The crowd is going to be amazing! I really wish I had money and wasn't going to be busy all weekend.

They are terrible right now, man.

They don't play with enough effort for starters. McHale is retarded and refuses to double team anyone. Lillard gets by whoever is guarding him whenever he wants. The lose track of their man. Their rotations suck.

They're bad on that end. They have no chance to play from behind right now.

The defense is good enough to win no doubt about it. Houston has missed way too many 3s. I think you are misguided in your criticism you might as well be saying that Houston's 3 pt shooting is the WORST in the league bc it's more off from the regular season than the D has been and the D was top 10. The D got 3 consecutive stops late in the game when it mattered.. POR got bailed out by a long rebound.

I think Houston will win one game in Portland.

But winning the series at this point will be a long shot.

The environment for a home game a few days after Christmas is going to be a little different than the first playoff game in 3 years.

Gotta go 4-1 with Portland having 3 home games. Extremely unlikely.

I agree, but they better win Game 3. No chance that team has the mindset to win a Game 4 on the road being down 3-0.

Aldridge is playing like the best player in the NBA. Absolutely unstoppable. The Rockets aren't even giving him that many easy shots. Hitting fade away 18 footers like they are layups

Can't wait for the ride to work today. Have fans burned any McHale dolls or Celtic jerseys in protest?

The Rockets, as a team, are atrocious defensively.


Right now for sure they are, I think Kelvin Sampson had a pretty big impact on defense, since hes been gone, the defense has gone to shite over the last few weeks of the season and carrying over to the playoffs.

ETA: They've only held 1 opponent since April 1 to Under 100 points.

Giving up 112 pts per game over that stretch
