Portland has a habit of getting themselves in a hole. So far from over though this series is due for a dud.

If this series goes to game 7, I like the Rockets' chances. It's either this game or game 6 that has to be the last game.

EDIT: WOW!!! The Rockets are on firrre.

Yeah... the Blazers still lack that depth. You probably want 1 or 2 capable player that could start on half the NBA teams.

EDIT: LoL at Lopez post isolation. That's new. My question is why does Harden purposely single cover Lopez and allow it.

EDIT: Lin MONEY! Lillard answers right back. Love it

EDIT: Lin wide open airball on next possession. :shake:

Pretty solid first half by the Rockets.

Aldridge was out of sync tonight. Well defended and teams really couldn't find him much. Lillard and Lopez played great imo. But looks like the Rockets will close this one out with ease.

Pretty good game.

Rockets learned today how to handle leads in the 4th. They've squandered leads these past games.

And great defense on LMA.

Portland better not blow this. Especially after giving Houston a reason to feel disrespected. Idiot Mo Williams. Veteran presence my ass.

Game 6 is definitely game 7. Shame to see Aldridge reverting to his timid self. He needs to step up. Game 6 is about to be really stressful. Portland's first halves have left something to be desired.

If you can't stop Lin, you'll lose. The kid I thought was the difference maker for the Rockets, a consistent force throughout the game. He's made many timely baskets that stopped Blazers taking back the momentum.

Just tuned in.

Looks like another crazy game. The series of the first round? It's almost as good as the Heat Bobcat series.

Another exciting finish coming up. Deserves a seventh game.

What the fuck is McHale doing? Harden purposely single covers Lopez in the post and gets owned over and over in this series.

EDIT: Darn... Lopez truly is a great fit. He does a lot of things for this team.

EDIT: The Rockets' offense in half court is all about Dwight ISO or turnover.

Oh my gosh. HOWARD 4 MVP

Howard is everywhere.

EDIT: Woot! Asik's gone. The Rockets might be done.

EDIT: French man not named Tony Parker stepped up. Another sign of NBA becoming soft.

I believe that was the right call, but it doesn't matter. Damian Lillard...wow.
