Portland Commie Uprising vs Houston Chinese Nationalists

[DoctorP]

Melo looking in prime form

[DoctorP]

Nurkic is back. Portland is stacked

[NBAGOAT]

we might get 100 attempts from 3 this game

[DoctorP]

sick stepback from mccollum

[DoctorP]

holy shhhhhh mccollum

[DoctorP]

portland frontcourt not shooting a high percentage right now, rockets keeping it close

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Blazers looking great, I would rather face Mavs in 1st round then Blazers. Lakers may be in for a surprise.

[DoctorP]

Nurkic has missed 3 or 5 point blank layups

[imdaman99]

Portland outrebounding Houston 36-14 :lol

[DoctorP]

westbrook showing off that world class speed...

[DoctorP]

Wade one of the GOATs

[NBAGOAT]

Portland outrebounding Houston 36-14 :lol

there are studies that show correlation between winning and certain stats like winning the reb and to battle. The rockets are going blow it up with how much of an outlier they are :lol

[DoctorP]

Nurkic has a lot of scar tissue to fight through. Portlands going to need Whiteside.

[DoctorP]

boom. harden from way deep. cant leave him open at all

[DoctorP]

Lillard...super sick sequence of 3balls... dammmmmn

[fourkicks44]

These offensive calls in the bubble are getting out of control

[DoctorP]

Melo giving portland that mid range option

[DoctorP]

houston hitting 3s while portland missing 2s. the pendulum swings

[DoctorP]

lillard....... just perfect form

[NBAGOAT]

melo really has been dribbling too much on these postups. just go for a quick turnaround vs the shorter guy. The rockets guys are short but beefy, it's not easy to back them down

[DoctorP]

Melo may have iced it as Harden cant get it in

[NBAGOAT]

hou didnt force nearly enough turnovers to win

[DoctorP]

hou didnt force nearly enough turnovers to win

it will be an uphill battle with Gordon out

[RoseCity07]

Honestly felt like Blazers missed a billion lay ups and still won with Rockets hitting threes all game.

Blazers play poorly and Rockets played well. Blazers figured them out. If Harden is out there not scoring he's their weak point on defense.
