Asik can adequately guard Aldridge for sure. To say that NOBODY can is a joke. Asik will lean on him and make Aldridge shoot over him. Aldridge had a very average game on 11/5 when Houston was still doing the twin towers experiment and Asik spent a lot of time on LA.
Asik played 22 minutes, Aldridge was 2-8 with 1 TO with Asik guarding him.
Hell even harden D'ed him up a couple times in the post in the last game in the last few minutes when Houston was coming back to push it to OT.
eta: last 6 minutes of regulation and ot with harden on Aldridge
1-5 fg 2-4 from the line.

3. Dwight will likely "have his way" but Robin will tire him down. We have no one else to stick on him though.

4. I read Lin threads and all of them talk about how much Lin blows but now they're all quick to his defense

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

6. Are the Blazers hungrier?
quote:hmmmmm
5. Anyone worried about Dwight & Harden's heart, or lack thereof?

I don't know if I posted in this thread, but I was wrong.
I thought Portland did things that were important in the playoffs better, like offensive rebounding and defending the perimeter, but I still didn't think they'd win this series going into it.
After Game 1, it was clear Portland would win it.

Harden looks awful.
Posted on 4/23/14 at 11:28 pm to SabiDojo
Is he really a top 10 player in the NBA though? What does he do besides score?

7. I say the Rockets objectively. They have more ways to win and don't rely as much on jump shooting. Rockets also play better defense. There is a myth that the Rockets are a bad defensive team, but that's not true. They are top 10 if you check the numbers. They give up a lot of points because they play at a high pace.

James Harden's first two games: 14-of-47 shooting, nine turnovers.
Posted on 4/23/14 at 11:29 pm to SabiDojo
Dwight went like 2-12 in the 2nd half.....Harden is playing like shite
Can't wait to see if they give up on this series or if either actually does show a little heart/pride

been top 10 ALL year bro.
the story in this series to date is that Houston has been off from 3. Theyve shot 54 3s at 20%. If they shoot at their season average they have 8 more makes and are very likely up 2-0. OH well some nights the shots don't fall but the law of averages is heavily in our favour going forward. I'll revise my prediction to Houston in 7.
