Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 8/4/2020

i think it's a legit vulnerability. if our team has an off shooting night it's hard to overcome the rebounding gap. But i do think that we don't have a fair evaluation of how good our team is as long as Eric Gordon remains hurt or plays like a bench player.

 

Hangs it up? Have you seen his stats this year? He's better than anybody coming off our bench lol

 

Portland sucked before Melo got there. Also the consensus here before Portland, was that Melo was garbage. Well he's busted our azzes each game we played them this year. His stats have been solid all year. How much more wrong can some of you be?

 

Rockets do not care about non-playoff teams this season.

 

Rockets are trying to get the highest seed lol. Losing to Portland, with Melo hitting daggers is not beneficial for us

 

I bet portland will be 8th

@rocketchamp I'd actually prefer we stay in the 4 spot . Id rather play utah or OKC than dallas. of course there are still seeding games left , we are either gonna face the lakers or the clippers in the 2nd round ( barring upset ) so i dont really care that much who we play between them , but id rather they have the tough 1st round matchups : which could actually end up being dallas and portland .. of course its possible Luka runs out of gas

 

Why all the Carmelo Anthony talk? He really hasn’t been good this year and wasn’t anything special last night.

If anyone, it was Trent that hurt the Rockets.

 

I feel these concerns, but given the level of competition in this weird seeding round, I don't expect many/any blowout wins moving forward. It's actually very interesting and stressful to have non-playoff games against nothing but good teams. And yes, I think Portland counts as good.

 

Houston must get 4th seed. It is not easy to vs nuggets without caplea

 

You seriously thought the Rockets would return to play and then NEVER lose another game?

Ok.

 

they still have Anthony and Whiteside

 

Sit back and enjoy the ride.
