where's Lin? I know Lin has trouble staying in front of his man but it can't be worse than the Douglas missing all these shots late in games. at least Lin makes up for his defensive short comings with his ability to read the passing lane...how does Douglas make up for his shortcoming on the offensive end? his incredible court vision?

**** the Blazers. **** Damian Lillard. **** Nicolas Batum. And **** Toney Douglas for being in the game late and being allowed to touch the ball on offense. So pissed right now.

i guess there's a reason Sampson's not a full time coach.

Worse than the Miami game officiating wise I am so ****ing mad.

[amak316]

really hate the way the Rockets have used Lin thus far this season, playing TD all OT instead of Lin when hes playing well seems really bad.

[mightybosstone]

Also, **** Dick Baveta for calling that weak *** sixth foul on Asik, which could have just as easily been offensive.

[FOBolous]

Lin had a double double today....tell me again why he didn't play in OT and Douglas was? since when did Douglas become a defensive specialist?

Oh yes, of course, it was the officiating that was bad. How come no one ever says the officiating is bad when the Rockets win? I am so tired of Rocket fans blaming the refs after every loss. The officiating was fine, but the Blazers made big shots down the stretch and the Rockets didn't. That is why we lost. It had nothing to do with the refs. Can we please stop whining about the referees after every loss? It is getting old and redundant.

Or the call where Jeffries was in the restricted zone, or when Harden got straight up tackled.

they really need to run PnRs more with Lin versus Harden. Harden has an above average passing skills for a SG but he's not a PG. Rockets needs to stop make-believing he's a PG. plus I personally feel like Lin has a higher success rate with the PnR than Harden. Lin can draw a foul...which is good cause he's a good FT shooter...take a shot (it will start to fall eventually)...or make a good pass.

It's a painful loss. Especially since I envy Portland because they have LMA. WE drafted Batum and traded him for donte green/joey dorsey. smh.

oh well. We've gotta learn to finish out games.

The only positive I can say about the end of this game was that I LOVED both plays that they ran in crunch time to get Morris wide open threes. They were absolutely perfect. One went in, and the other was a damn good look, but did not. But I cannot understand for the life of me why Jeremy Lin was not in the game in overtime. It certainly can't be for defensive purposes, because the Blazers just kept switching Douglas off of Lillard, and it worked every ****ing time. And Douglas missed all five 3-point shots he took tonight but was STILL taking them! And WTF was up with that runner he took in overtime? Why are you bringing the ball up and trying to take a circus shot??!?!? You are not Dwyane ****ing Wade!!!!

Seriously, Toney Douglas needs to not get minutes or needs to be told that he isn't allowed to touch the ball anymore on offense unless there's no one within 10 feet of him. If I'm Morey, I seriously consider adding a better backup point guard or bringing Machado up from the D-League already.

i can't agree with you more.

This is especially frustrating, because they've had so many games now where they would have won if they had stepped on the gas when they've gotten leads or could have made a basket down the stretch. And this would be an opportune time to rip Harden for not making more plays in the clutch, but the dude made a huge three late in the fourth and had the big three-point play to start overtime. Somebody else has to step up late. Not even Lebron scores every freaking point in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime.
