re: Patrick Beverly will get a MRI in the morning; "Great deal of fear w/in Rockets"

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

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.
