Dwight and Asik sharing the floor!

List of players who have put up 45 & 15 in a playoff game since 1986 -

Nice company there.

Very nice company!

I hope he takes that next step these playoffs and lead us to a series victory. He abused the rockets all season. Long may it continue.

Dunno if anyone saw this already, but could potentially be very significant -

Yeah saw when he did it he was a bit ginger. Hopefully there is no further damage.

It's a huge risk he is taking playing on

Missed the second half as I was going to the footy. Anyone know where I can download the game from?

LMAs shot chart from today. Scary thing is he didn't hit his normally reliable mid range jumper

Well done Blazers. Hope they win this series, much more likeable team than the w***ers from Houston.

Man really crap I missed this game Go Portland!

Iso's at the end of games are unimaginative and predictable, but with Harden being so good at creating his own shot off the dribble, I'm not sure why the Rockets ran a screen-roll on the very last play instead of a 1-4 flat or something...it just put Freeland unnecessarily in Harden's way.

Yeah missed it too. Even my phone app shat itself so I couldn't keep up.

He also had Lin open on the 45 for an open 3 ball

Linsanity? Or just a case of physics gone awry?

Gah, game two on the same time as Blackhawks/St Louis

 

[Warsaw]

Dwight 'I gotta demand the ball more' Howard.

6-6 13 points in the first 5 minutes.

 

[stewie griffen]

Holy Dwight balls

 

[Pie Legend]

Harden looking a lot more aggressive tonight, but still battling. Can't see Houston going anywhere unless he gets going.

 

[nufan]

LMA heating up

 

[stewie griffen]

Dwight and Aldridge are putting on a hell of a show

 

[Westy Bogan]

Sure is a lot more foul trouble in the playoffs

Euro-Travel by Harden

 

[Westy Bogan]

Wait-Wot... what did Parsons say today?

 

[Taquito]

Convinced Aldridge is a straight up killa.
