Your team deserved to lose! You let a 2nd year guard in his first playoff game put up 31 points in your eye. You let Aldridge put 46pts an 16rebounds on you and absolutely destroy the paint against the best shot blocker in the league. Your golden boy, James "Fish out of Water" Harden was chucking up desperation shots in a 8-28 from the field disaster. Howard bricked FT after FT.... to let us come back. Lopez gets a technical for getting elbowed in the stomach and Garcia travels 5 times only to get a foul called. I could go on and on.... Buck the fuck up and take your loss instead of whining about the reffing like a bunch of little bitches. Good grief.
Not to beat up on Houston fans, but some fans are very savy (NY, Chicago...) and some are morons- like Houston. They just don't get the game.
I share it too, we're no different than any other fans when it comes to hyperbole. Every single fan group in every major sports league in the United States is the same.
Don't you have some other forum where you and the other gray beards can stroke your beards thoughtfully over stats and harrumph about the savages in S2?
you want proof that this forum goes nuts over the same things Houston fans are going nuts over? Just read any (and every) game thread. Almost without fail, there are posts convinced that the refs are crooked, or out to get the Blazers, or screw over the team. Not saying it's everyone, but I'm certain that the posts/threads that have been highlighted by some of us here, do not speak for the majority of their fans. Just like the crazy shit that some of us say here, doesn't speak for the majority of the Blazers fans.
