1. 坏消息： 历史上只有三支队伍从连失开始两局的情况下反赢了系列。 好消息： 火箭（93-95）是其中之一，而且最后获得冠军。

2. 火箭拿ALGRIDGE没办法。记得赛季初有人建议火箭用小林等换大鸟的Davis，现在看那真是个好建议。 有了Davis，Aldridge就不能这么无法无天了。

3. 哈登如果不是胡子长，球场上就找不到他了。他投篮时犹犹豫豫总想造犯规，结果对方不知趣不配合，说不犯规就不犯规。

4. 火箭队员都健康，但是在调兵遣将上好像很缺人手，连续两场，只有8人上场 （好像是本季后赛目前各队最少的）。 难为Mchale教练了。

5. TNT，输掉的两场都是在TNT播放。是不是犯了风水大忌？好消息：下场是ESPN播放，坏消息： 第四第五场将又回到TNT。TMD。

1. The Rockets are in a world of trouble. Only three teams have ever come back after losing the first two games of a seven-game series at home – the 1968-69 Lakers, the 1993-94 Rockets and the 2004-05 Mavericks (against the Rockets). Since the Rockets’ championship seasons (1993-94 and 1994-95) every time they lost Game 1, they also lost Game 2. In each of the previous six of those instances, they also lost the series.

2. The Rockets have no clue what to do with LaMarcus Aldridge. His phenomenal shooting has taken him from outstanding to dominant, but the Rockets could not do anything with him in the regular-season either. On Wednesday, they went back to putting big bodies on Aldridge and that helped keep him out of the paint. He instead just moved without the ball, took pick-and-pop jumpers and burned the Rockets for 43 points a game after smacking them with 46.

3. If not for the beard, James Harden would be unrecognizable. The top scoring shooting guard in the NBA this season, Harden went from just missing shots to falling apart completely. He went 6 of 19 on Wednesday and is 14 of 47 in the series. This is not entirely without warning. Harden finished the regular season 36.1 percent of his shots in the final five games. He has made just 33.3 percent of his shots in those games plus the first two of the series, seeming increasingly hesitant and reliant on fouls that the Blazers refuse to commit.

4. The Rockets are completely healthy, but short-handed, anyway. Kevin McHale played just eight players, including Francisco Garcia’s four minutes. It is not unusual for coaches to shorten their rotation, but when Rockets starters struggled, there was no lift coming from the bench. Rockets reserves combined for 13 points with Jeremy Lin, the Rockets’ top scorer off the bench in the regular-season, making just 1 of 5 shots.

5. It’s the TNT jinx! The Rockets are now 0-2 on TNT, but Game 3 is on ESPN. Unfortunately, Game 4 and Game 5, if necessary, are back on TNT, where the big topic of discussion on “Inside the NBA” involved how the Rockets should defend against Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge. “I think Dwight Howard’s gotta guard him more,” Charles Barkley said. “Omer Asik is too slow, and Terrence Jones is too little. . He’s just a chair.” Just as telling on the Rockets’ plight was this exchange between Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith. Shaq: “Where was James Harden tonight?” Smith: “Missing in action.”
