Houston Must Be Pretty Bad If They Lost to Portland

[kurple]

Teams figured out how to defend Portland halfway trough the season. Only Houston are so bad defensively it didn't matter

[DMV2]

Nah, Houston did just suck. Can't believe some people actually thought they were potential contenders

Only Rockets trolls thought that.

[SsKSpurs21]

I dont agree that Houston is bad. they didnt match up well with Portland. Portland has alot of good one on one defenders. Their team defense is not that great. Houston was playing iso ball which portland was quick to defend. Now against san antonio their team defense is being exposed. not to mention that stotts completely outcoached mchale and is not getting schooled by Pop.

Lack of bench my ass

Huh? Their bench is terrible. Spurs bench just has destroyed them.

[Milbuck]

No shit.

Houston sucks ass, period.

When u have Dwight coward on your team you deserve everything that comes to you that loser will never win anything

Dwight was the best player in that series...

[UK2K]

Portland had a better PG and PF.

Houston had a better SG and C.

SFs were even.

But even at the 2 and 5 Portland had Matthews and Lopez. At the 4 Houston had... Jones, for a while, then it went to Asik, who is a liability on offense. So Houston was playing 5 on 4 through the first 5 games on both ends of the floor.

Ahh well, youngest team in the league? They've got about 3 years to figure it out.

Dwight was the best player in that series...

Dwight was terrific that series and I don't want to criticize him any way...but you could definitely make the case that Aldridge was better. Same for Lillard.

Aldridge put up 30/11/2/3/1 on 48/67/82 shooting...and that's including his 8 point performance in game 5. Lillard put up 26/6/7/1 on 47/49/88 shooting.

Lillard has less of a case considering Dwight's defensive impact, but Aldridge definitely has a strong one.

Wonder what Mavs Blazers would've looked like

Wonder what Mavs Blazers would've looked like

Lillard would have raped them, but Dallas would still win. Portland really isn't that good though. This is as good as they are going to get. Houston is just terrible though I guess.

Actually Portland are only going to get better I imagine. Depends who they can pick up this summer.

[RightToCensor]

4-0 in the regular season.

We da bess, yall mad.

[KungFuJoe]

Houston just has no heart, no identity, and no D.

They are a team with good pieces, but no ****ing clue what to do with them.

And McHale is just awful...can't believe everyone is losing their jobs except this clueless ****.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Coaching becomes so important in the playoffs. McHale got outcoached badly by Stotts in the first round, but now that coaching advantage for Portland has been flipped completely around facing Pop.
