Who Choked Worse For Houston?

[selrahc]

Dwight Howard, who committed a stupid foul to get himself fouled out and give freelander freethrows... or harden who had a full 8 seconds to take a shot and ended up freezing and randomly hoisting up a contested two pointer?

[navy]

Harden straight up choked. Dwight just played like Dwight

[Wavves]

Dwight was fantastic late in the game. Hit most of his FT's like a clutch god.

He shouldn't be abused for losing the game.

[Milbuck]

I wouldn't consider this a choke for Harden.

He just did what we're consistently used to seeing from him in the postseason. Seriously, aside from his "breakout" in the 2012 WCF against the Spurs, what the **** has he done? Dude went flat out invisible in the finals, his efficiency dropped like a bomb in last year's first round, and put up one of the most embarrassing performances by a "star" in recent memory tonight.

He sucked ass. But it's not choking when we're USED to seeing him suck ass.

Now just photoshop Aldridge's face for Steve Austin.

Or better yet Perkins for consistent future use :roll:

You must be an idiot to think that it was Dwight's stupidity that fouled him out.

howard letting POR back in the game late in the 4th while being hack-a-clowned

[Smook A.]

What?

Dwight did great

And that 2012 WCF from his is still overrated as hell. He played solid but the media always looks back on it like he did something spectacular. He played off of Durant having the series of his life and Westbrook being in constant attack mode and did well, but didn't really do anything to warrant anywhere near the hype he got for that series. For a good player, let alone a top 10 player like he is hyped to be, thats an average at worst performance.

[Inferno]

What?

Dwight did great

Yeah, Dwight was clutch as **** with those FT's. IDK wtf Harden was doing in the end. Dude legit froze up.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Harden and Parsons. HArden with hi usual selfish bullshit and choking and PArsons went ghost in the OT.
McFail the worst tho, wont call any play when Lin showed his by far the clutches player in the league together with lillard:facepalm

[Smook A.]

I hope he doesnt do that rest of the series.

[Draz]

I wouldn't blame Dwight.

[houston]

harden choked

[Inferno]

I hope he doesnt do that rest of the series.

He wont. And he won't go 8-28 either. Should be a great series :cheers:

[BlackVVaves]

Did you watch the game though OP?

If we gonna say CP3 choked, Harden definitely choked.

It wasn't even a foul on Dwight at the end. Dead awful call.

[Smook A.]

He wont. And he won't go 8-28 either. Should be a great series :cheers:
Hopefully

Finally a good dude on this board. Super rare :cheers:

[Milbuck]

Don't put it past him. He has a knack for sucking ass when it matters most.

[apesta]

i think the whole team choked. their defence was no where to be found. Lilard got into the paint at will. McFAIL never adjusted once Blazers started their run.

[oarabbus]

Western Conference is just epic. Dwight played really well... no choking on his part. 28/15 in a beast performance. Harden choked though, real bad offensive possession to end the game.

dpoty howard doe amirite?

How did it feel coming out of your mum's ******? Cos we all know thats the only ***** you'll be getting Mr 1000 posts a month.
:roll: ****ing loser!

[brantonli]

Howard did fine, in fact he was abusing Lopez down on the low post. It was Harden who forgot that he could drive to the rim.

[mikek85]

Harden was 8 of 28 or some shit like that. Shoulda given the ball to
Lin with harden and parson sucking.

[outbreak]

Some of the Lakers fans should just admit all they watch is kobe highlights and don't watch the actual games. Dwight played pretty well, better than most other centres in the league today. I don't know how you could put this loss all on Dwight. He didn't go off but he turned up and played his part.some of the posters here are the most insecure people in the world

Please, tell me, how did the Blazers get back into the game in the 4th quarter?

[Jameerthefear]

Dwight missed some freethrows, Lin turned it over, Harden missed some shots, and bad defense. You can't put everything on one player. That's everyone's problem with Lakers fans.

[MrC1991]

Now just photoshop Aldridge's face for Steve Austin.

Or better yet Perkins for consistent future use :roll:

:lol :lol :lol awesome.

[Mr Exlax]

I'm gonna say the refs choked worse. They were giving each team the benefit of the whistle in OT and just didn't give it to us on the last possession.

:lol

Houston got way more bs calls than Portland did so its really desperate to try and blame the refs when Portland would have won more comfortably had they called it fairly.

No one choked worse than Harden did either: that's barely even possible.

[STATUTORY]

:roll: :roll: when the playoffs start, the bullshit bailout calls stops, for the most part, and Harden regresses to a bench player

Did you watch the game with your eyes closed old man? Portland got bad calls that fouled Howard and Beverley out. It was pretty even.

[f0und]

i think i know what happened to harden at the end.

Harden and Parsons. HArden with hi usual selfish bullshit and choking and PArsons went ghost in the OT.

I was mad at Parsons when he missed that wide open 3 in OT, but that shit happens, you can't blame the loss on him, he was awesome otherwise. Dwight only missed one FT in crunch time and had 27 points, in a game where both Lopez AND Aldridge fouled out, it's not surprising Howard did too.

Harden shit the bed.

[KungFuJoe]

Honestly?

Beverley choked.

I know he was coming off injury and he also sprained his knee again (hope it's nothing serious), but it was like the OKC game again. He's all up in Lilliard's face...even got a nice strip...but as the game went on and Lilliard shook off the butterflies, he was scoring at will...

Late in the game and in OT, Beverley got beat time and time again.

He slipped and gave Lilliard a wide open three. Then he got blown by for the and1 layup. He also didn't box out Lilliard near the end of regulation...Lilliard almost got the tip in but it allowed LMA to tie up the game.

In OT was where he got all up in Lilliard's face only to get blown by for the layup and foul.

Then he got beat backdoor by Lilliard who missed the layup but again because Howard had to rotate to over, his man got the put back.

I mean, if everyone talks about how Beverley has ONE job...play defense...if he's not shutting his man down or even disrupting him, it's like a scorer who shoots 2-18.

[CelticBaller]

James Larden choked

Pretty much, Rockets were a missed Lillard 3 away from winning game 1.

Parsons wasnt wesome. in fact he was terrible the entire second half.
let guys score 15 points on him and couldnt buy a shot. Parsons always has one great half and one terrible one. often the second half is the terrible one.
i dont blame him much because his retarded coach played him nearly 40 MPG during the meaningless regular season:facepalm

Beverley is a player who should play 10- 15 minutes, maybe 20 on a good night.
he cant create for himself or others and ond efense hes terribly overrated. he fouls all the time. if his handchecking would be called he would foul out every single game.
he doesnt have the bball IQ to shut down guys like Lillard. he cant make you work for your point s and get in yur head tho. but not enough to start and play 40 minutes in the playoffs:biggums:
