This should be a good one!

The Blazers will come out with something to prove, so I'm thinking another tight game early. We will see how quickly it takes Houston to wake up and get in gear.

How long have these guys been on the west coast? Feels like they've been gone for weeks.

GO ROCKETS!

Poor Yankers - they are so happy now, but will still come up short against Houston or Cleveland next MLB playoffs! :lol:

Welp, Harden is on pace for about 100.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

James Harden is pretty OK at this basketball game.

It's a push-off when a guy trips?

Some dubious calls in that first half and a Ryno no-show.
Hopefully that changes in the second half.

First free throws in 7 games for Ariza?

That's surprising.

Rockets just look like they're tired of this road trip.

I've been dozing off during this game. Feels about right.

Houaton's been playing down or asleep most of the game. The Blazers are shooting insane from the 3 (Lillard with 9, I think).

Yet somehow, the Rockets have the lead back with a couple minutes to go. This game could go either way, but the Rockets have the momentum.

Oh, and Ariza remembered that he was a top-tier defender.

James Harden is so good it's not even funny.
