The only issue, and real reason the Blazers lost here IMO, is that LMA didn't show up. He just kind of hung back, no fire, no desire, no nothing. He needs to have a hot game back home.

You guys are putting way too much weight on the bench scoring. Most of it was Lin and Lin played starter minutes because Beverley is sick.

The officiating was atrocious all damn game. They missed a goal tend, again, the missed an out of bounds call, again, phantom calls and flops, again.

Absolutely! This game was there for the taking in the fourth with Dame/Wes/Nic/Rolo carrying the team, and LA did not show up.

The sad thing is, there's only one guy on the team I worry about getting seriously screwed mentally after a bad game. And that's LA.

We lost for a multiple reasons. Reffing was not one of those reasons at all. We lost because again we allowed to many offensive rebounds and let them get rebounds off of missed Free throws. We lost because LMA sucked donkey balls, go figure. We lost because Stotts just doesnt get it and plays our bench for far too long. We lost because, and i love Wes, but he made two bone headed plays in a row that killed us. That is why we lost.

LA the only starter on either side to not hit double figures. Yuck!

That's because Houston has played like the team with the superior talent. We've had the superior execution at the end of the game, and they've made stupid mistakes.

Today, we made the stupid mistakes.

We continue to get ourselves in a hole like we have in the second quarter, and we're done.

Houston has not played like the team with the superior talent. They've barely beaten us twice. We are by far the superior team and will win finish them off at home.

Portland is going to be crazy on Friday. Going to honor doctor jack, and will smell blood in the water with the possibility to close series. If the blazers can't win friday then they have no business winning series.

LaMarcus may as well have just sat this game out and rested.

Brilliant analysis. You think it's good basketball to have double-digit deficits in the first half game after game? We're fucking ourselves. We put no pressure on Houston tonight. None. We got a little close, but they always answered.

Let's not sound like Houston fan. That kind of degrading should never happen.

We got beat. We could have beat them with just a tad bit more execution. I have no worries we will win game 6. Houston didn't show me anything I haven't seen yet.

Too bad I'm going to have to watch it on DVR. I have a show that night. :(

Everyone seems to be scapegoating LA. Yah he missed a few shots but they played to take him out of the game entirely. He fought for position and couldn't get the ball and when he did he couldn't do much with it. Blame execution if you want to blame something.

Terry calling plays for him in the closing minutes was idiotic. About as idiotic as not having LMA help off of Asik, or better yet, guard Howard.

Bullshit. It was totally lop-sided. Maybe we would have barely lost anyway, but it was certainly a factor.

I think reffing had an effect, because they got LA out of the game early with a couple weak calls, but for the most part you are right. We did not execute, we made a lot of stupid turnovers, and we didn't play good defense at all. We didn't make Houston work.

Without Wes we get blown out.

Lopez 17 pts, 8 rbs, 4 blks. Need that and more on Friday.

As bad as it was, and we almost won. That's got to be encouraging.

And we lost that game, just like we lost this one.

We finally got a big game from Wes and we blew it :sigh:
 
Re: ROUND 1, GAME 5: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - 4/30/14, WEDNESDAY, 6:30 PM (PST), TNT & KG

We have GOT TO stop digging ourselves an early hole.
 
Re: ROUND 1, GAME 5: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - 4/30/14, WEDNESDAY, 6:30 PM (PST), TNT & KG

Really thought we'd win this one. Lamarcus and Mo well below their scoring averages makes it tough, Wes played a great game though
 
Re: ROUND 1, GAME 5: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - 4/30/14, WEDNESDAY, 6:30 PM (PST), TNT & KG

If LA even got his averages we would have won easily.

I think the refs can be included, but they are last on that list of yours. They made some shitty calls that hurt us more than Houston.
