ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 5/2/2014 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

LMA needs to be doubled in the post. The one time Rox doubled he turned it over.

 

Harden balling his ass off tonight. Welcome back Da Real Beard

 

we need to just take out aldridge...intentionally

 

to have our bigs in foul trouble and two starting guards with 2 fouls each...and we are up by 2...Our boys are balling and not letting these terrible officiating ruin a great game by the Rockets... 8 v 5 is just bad for the game...

 

Hubie far from biased on multiple occasions he has called out the refs for Matthews holding on Harden and fouls not called on Dwight.

 

is Michelle Beadle pregnant?

 

The problem is if you breathe on Aldridge, the refs blow the whistle.

 

I think it will take a team (or teams) walking of the court in terribly one-sided refereed games before the league starts paying attention to the incompetence of the referees. Have to make a huge scandal.

 

If it wasn't for horrible calls, we'd be sitting waiting to see if we play the Spurs or Mavs next!!!

 

Despite the focus on all the touch fouls called for Aldridge, the

Rockets 15-18 from the line

Blazers 13-13 from the line

Rockets need to keep hitting their free throws in the 2nd half and hope Howard and Asik avoid getting their 4th and 5th before the 4th quarter.

Need to continue to maintain and build on the free throw advantage.

 

Rockets are obvious the better team but refs just got it in for them..

 

The refs must be friends of Jim Buss.

 

Gotta figure nba will give us more foul calls towards the end so we goto a game 7. Aldridge is gonna get his 40 with being untouchable and all. Looks like the load is squarely on hardens shoulders tonite. Put Dmo in early Q3 and save twin towers for Q4.

 

Welcome back, James Harden.

 

We will win for sure!

 

we're not gonna win 5-8. if we do then im sorry for doubting the rockets. i just dont see us beating the refs and the blazers

 

The refs are horrific again tonight but if we stay focus, ee should come out victorious

 

this is not the rhythm we should be in...Dwight and Asik both got 3 fouls and LMA is still not limited...

 

Agreed.... the problem is, the Rockets have "earned" their fouls by continuing to dominate the paint and take it to the bucket. They had several more in the paint that could have been called but weren't.

The Blazers have benefitted more from the touch/loose-ball type fouls that are often subjective and can be called every single time down if the refs wanted.

 

I was thinking the same thing! She is doing a much better job than Sage though. Sage might be too straight laced to deal with Simmons and Jalen. Beadle just irreverent enough to go toe-to-toe with them.
