This is an interesting one for the Rockets tonight as the lead over Golden State has stretched out a bit with 12 to go.

Like I said in another thread, I'm hoping for some Joe, G & Joe Chee tonight!

I'm pretty sure that the Blazers will be trying to make a statement tonight.

Looking forward to watching CJ McCollum get lit up on the defensive end.

I have to admit, I am jealous of the Blazers for getting those dumb fans in the lower bowl to show up before tip off.

Fans are whining, but that is a foul. There is no disputing the fact that was a foul.

I hate complimenting the other team too much, but those Rip City unis are pretty sweet.

It looks like we're back to the 'Harden gets too many fouls' narrative. As they say, "if you can't beat 'em, complain" :lol:

Considering that Houston looked like they were just playing at times and that Portland looked like it was their Super Bowl, I'd say that the first quarter wasn't that bad.

Oh yeah, the Rockets can hit threes in case anyone has forgotten.

That missed layup by Luc gave McCollum a confidence boost :lol:

It seems like CP3 is just toying with them. He gets that Ed Davis mismatch at will.

Calvin Murphy is really outdoing himself with these wardrobe choices.
