ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 11/3/2012

In OT Lin was trying poach some steal and leaving lillard open. Can't do that with a shooter.

 

fixed.

 

We got our own players defending their TEAMMATES instead of the other team

Just backwards play out there

 

Not with mchale coaching. He would just have Aldrige score from putbacks while having Lin sit at the 3 point line, while giving the go-ahead for Delfino and Parsons to take illadvised defended shots.

 

It's times like this that I wish I still smoked the reefer.

 

Nothing terribly wrong with a loss like this for a young team. The Rockets will have a couple days here to go over a lot of film, which is a good thing. Hopefully we'll see some better offensive execution next game.

 

It's going to get ugly, I'm out as well. Have fun cannibalizing each other Rocket fans.

 

First loss of the season with many to come, so better get used to it.

 

I mean, I'm not dumb enough to think we're gonna win every game, especially when we're on a back to back, but sometimes you have to call a play.

 

nope not at all, Lin had Lillard on lock for most of the game which is why they went to Aldridge so much. i do see your bias and what your trying to do.

 

we looked very tired in the 4th and ot. not a fan of mchale and his rotation

 

Our starters were gassed. Harden played 40 minutes back to back...Lin and our other players on the floor needed to step up and take the shots, but they were probably fatigued as well.

McHale needed to friggin put Morris in, he was doing good..

 

winnable game but team gassed. should have won in regulation...missed layups...harden definitely got fouled shooting three.

 

We need more scoring punch off the bench.

 

Agreed.
Honestly think McHale should have finished with Morris and Douglas in the game.
Morris provided offense to help Harden and Douglas seemed to have Lillard in check.

 

Overlord Stern must not allow these Rockets to win. It is written by the lizard god him self!

 

Lin defense sucks. Always has and always will. I can forgive him for that but I was annoyed by how passive he was today.

Always looked for Harden to bail him out rather than trying to make a play himself. Throwing that stupid pass in traffic instead of looking for his shot summed his play up tonight.

Can't keep relying on one man.

 

Mchale gassed the starters, Portland's coach who I don't even know the name of had them coming in with energy and it won them the game pretty much.

He also should have kept in Morris who bought the team back and was playing great out there and had energy to spare.
