1. Can anyone slow down Lillard?
2. How big of a match-up problem is LMA for Houston?
3. Will Dwight & Harden have their way?
4. Is Lin's lack of defense going to ultimately cost his team?
5. Anyone worried about Dwight & Harden's heart, or lack thereof?
6. Are the Blazers hungrier?
7. Who wins this series?

Uhh. This has never been a question for either player. Dwight has heart. That's why he gets upset with shitty teammates and coaches. And James Harden's heart has never been questioned.

Beverly has really done well on Lillard, I think Lillards fg% is 29% in games that Beverly played.

2. How big of a match-up problem is LMA for Houston?


He'll get his, Houston has defended him well late in games in the games they've won. They'll have to do more of that.

3. Will Dwight & Harden have their way?
Yes

4. Is Lin's lack of defense going to ultimately cost his team?

I don't think so, he's not THAT bad at defense.

5. Anyone worried about Dwight & Harden's heart, or lack thereof?


not sure if serious. These guys want to win as much as anyone.

6. Are the Blazers hungrier?

No Houston is hungrier.

7. Who wins this series?


HOU in 6. This will be a great series I can see every game being really competitive. Houston wins because they have the superior defense and they have the best player in Harden.

I can see this.

Looking at how the playoff picture shaped-out, IMO, Houston has an easy path to the Western Conference Finals. Take out Portland, then take out winner of SA/Memphis. Memphis will be a tough team in the playoffs, no doubt. But Houston did just sweep the Spurs in the regular season going 4-0 after last night.

Forced was a bad choice of words. I always related that name just to the 94 & 95 Rockets teams and hadn't really heard it used in a while. Not in Houston though, probably out of the loop on it.

depends which Rockets team shows up....


The Rockets who dominated after the all-star break, for the most part? if so, it'll be over in 5, maybe 6.


The Rockets team who were down 15 points against a Pelicans D-league team and needed an epic 4 minute run and some ref help to win last Saturday? While letting, Rivers post a double double, and 2 other DLeague Pelican players drop 20 on them? Then Portland in 6.

(NB4 "blah blah, back to back, long flight from Minny the night before..." )
