and i hate beverly/harden/howard but it's true.
just because you guys are playing good against the shitty east doesn't mean your team is better now. And i'm happy for you guys, i'd love to see you go all the way
ok i lol'ed
obviously u're still holding onto ur preconceived notion that the eastern conference playoffs aren't worthy of ur time. u should really get off ur high horse and realize that the teams in the "shitty east" and the not all that much "better" wizards are comparable and arguably better than ur blazers (i know, shit is mind boggling).
but since arguing with ur old stubborn ass reminds me of a time when i tried, and failed, to convince my grandmother about the presence of bacteria/germs, i'll try to lay this out as clearly and simple for u as i can:
after 5 games of the 2014 playoffs:
-the blazers are shooting an average 45.8% against the rockets defense (ok i lol'ed). this is including the 2 career games that lma managed to pull out of his ass. 2 games in which mchale thought putting tjones on lma was a good defensive tactic. 2 games that ur almighty blazers BARELY won (even when the refs blatantly fucked up in the first game).
-the rockets are shooting an average of 44.66%. not to mention their best player is shooting an ANEMIC 34% from the field on 23.6 shots per game. throw in the fact that they're relying on dwight's post game, which although has improved, is far from consistent and the go-to option when u need a basket, and the trainwreck-waiting-to-happen otherwise known as jeremy lin, and i'd argue that u're playing against a team that is inferior compared to the bulls that u tried to belittle.blazers should have 4-1'd this rockets team if portland and "dame" (ok i lol'ed) is the holier than thou shit that u claim them to be. but still, the rockets' manage to lead by double digits (or near double digits) in the fourth quarter of several of the games.
-the wizards shot 44% and averaged 94.6 pts (45% and 99.5 pts/gm if u disregard the last closeout game in chicago) vs arguably the best defensive team in the nba this season. i know this might be hard to admit for ur homer lemme-make-a-thread-bout-a-tweet-bout-another-player-only-to-indirectly-praise-"dame" (ok i lol'ed) ass, but the wizards are very much as good, if not better, than ur blazers/rockets.
now the last point:
let's compare harden and beal's respective playoff stats so far:

"and i hate beverly/harden/howard but it's true." how are u gonna claim that "it's true" when u dont watch the "irrelevant" eastern conference playoffs and the stats suggest otherwise? i'm not even gonna bother showing u the stats comparing parsons to ariza (ok i lol'ed)
tldr: get the fuck off ur high horse and stop thinking ur team is the shit cuz lma's once ina lifetime week and the ref's blatant bullshit in game 1 is the only reason why ur team havent been 4-0'd by the rockets.
