TZ:莫雷在790电台: 林的所谓"挣扎"是媒体产物，开拓者把哈登的快攻机会搞没了

On the TNT crew giving Howard so much grief and him not getting credit for playing well
Morey: Howard has played amazing. The TNT crew stuff seems personal honestly. Not sure what is going on there but we don't worry about making them happy.

On Jeremy Lin's struggles and then his production last game
Morey: Lin's "struggles" have sort of been a media creation. A few bad plays that get blown up. In overtime games, every play throughout the game mattered, not just one play. Promise you that nobody on the team looks down on Lin.

On Harden's struggles being him struggling or being Portland's credit
Morey: Wes Matthews and Terry Stotts have done a great job. They've done exactly what they wanted to do. (later he added) They've decided not to double Dwight but to take away all fast break opportunities and stay with their man. This is a big change from how teams have played us all year, makes it harder for Harden.

On the Rockets in the paint
Morey: We've dominated them in the paint. Not just outplayed them, dominated them. It's very strange honestly, normally dominating the paint equals wins, yet we've dominated and haven't won. We've missed a lot of easy points in the paint and they've made a lot of jumpers. That changed in the last game and we won. Honestly we expected to see more of that. Aldridge missing some shots and us crushing the boards. We don't expect him to struggle, but we don't expect him to go off either.

On being proud of Troy Daniels
Morey: Very proud of him. He's shot the ball so much his hands bleed since he was a kid to get this good. The players love him and trust him completely. Harden looks to get him shots.

On the closeness of this series
Morey: Definitely the closest playoff series that I know about based on "coin flip of game" stat. Hard to explain, but in terms of minutes where the teams were within 1, 2, or 3 points of each other, believe this to be the closest ever.

790- does hardens struggles concern you ?
Morey- Scotts and Mathews are just really doing a good job to stop him, we need him in game 6, he hit a big 3 and another shot in the 4th that helped us come out with the win.

790- Everyone was talking about Lin's play in game4 but he stepped up tonight
Morey - I really don't get it, It was 32 secs left on clock, yeah him stopping in his tracks calling a timeout would've been great but the clock wasn't under 24 yet. But you don't think Mo will come up and make the best play ever, "knock ball out, some way tip ball inbounds, then hit a 3, on the same play" But it's what lead up to that and why we in that situation, its plenty of plays throughout a game, he wasn't the only player with a turnover, he wasn't only one had bad plays during the game and we still had a chance to win in OT. So I think all that was just media generated

790- I saw on your twitter that you feel that these teams are just a like and has really been close every game
morey - yeah we had same record, games keep going to OT, we have same point differential during reg. season
