ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 2/8/2013

This game is kinda important. Just a little bit...And can we see Jeremy Lin outplay no defense Lillard for once?

 

Lin & Jeffries were planning a deep sea fighing trip last off-season. I guess it was cancelled due to his rehabbing, training, RFA and Asian trip. I hope they do it this off season. Both of the love fishing.

 

I get Lin and JJ are friends and JJ was a terrific glue guy during linsanity... But jeez JLin, you couldn't be working on your shot instead of going golfing today?? This is sorta a big game and the last time you faced Portland, coaches benched you in the OT for ineffectiveness... what was that? Really? He was going for a triple double in that game?? So you're saying that was another game we should've won if it weren't for the coaching??

 

Lin partied with Curry and Lee before GSW game = Rockets blowout. Lin golfing with Jeffries should have a similar effect.

 

Blow them out.

 

yeah time for a nice little blowout win....like ones vs gsw or utah...

 

We get the W.

 

is this the first really big game of the season? i dont care if we lose to miami...but we HAVE to beat the fringe playoff teams out west

 

JLin, why you go putt in golf? Why you no put in study?

 

Second page!

My prediction: Rockets 102, Blazers 94

 

You ever heard the stories of all them Japanese people coming from Japan or some other Asian players coming from somewhere into the MLB. Apparently they have such high work ethics that they over do it, and instead get injured easier.

I can see it with Lin and any other NBA player. You got to rest and relax once in a while.

 

Auto-loss. Blazers are too clutch.

 

Let's see how Lin plays tomorrow. Maybe, when he goes out with friends on the opposing team the day before, he's more relaxed for the game.

 

This is a must win for the Rockets, Blazers are barely hanging with the Rockets in the standings.

 

Batum has been struggling as of late with that nagging wrist injury. Hope he continues that trend. Either way, i see us winning this game. We just have to.

 

I think what it may be is that they want those opposing players not to pick on him during the game... He acts all "buddy buddy" with them and then he lights them up the day of the game. He then says after the game to those players: "Hey, nothing personal right? It's just business... Hey to make up for it, first round is on me!" Opposing player(s): YAY!!! OK, man... all is forgiven!

It would be SO funny if it went down like that! :grin:

 

Huge game. I would not classify this as a must win. But it's at a level below must win.

 

Athletes need rest. You can't be in the gym all day during the season. If he's standing there pounding jumpers he will have no legs during the game.

 

Batum has been haunting my nightmares for weeks, I really really need rockets to beat them. just for my own mental health and well being.
