Portland Article on Rockets trash talking

I hope parsons learned a lesson. he ll need that extra comfort in Boston next year

 

That's hardly trash talking. It's just what everyone thinks but it goes without saying, so you keep your mouth shut.

 

They have the better coach.

 

we got son'd

 

i do like the Dr. jack quote,
"Teams that play together beat those teams with superior players who play more as individuals."

 

"I’m not a talker. My main goal was to win the series. In the playoffs, I’m not worried about who is the best small forward. I want to be the best team. They said they felt they were the best team. We didn’t talk about that. We just showed them. We’re the better team."

Batum later added that "…with the refs working for us, we're the better team."

Give us our points back, NBA!

 

which is exactly what happened here. Watching the games it definitely looked like Portland played as a team better than the Rockets.

 

He know what he did

 

A real coach wouldn't allow this to happen

Where was the trashing talking haha?

 

Parsons saying he was the best SF in the series, Beverley calling Lillard a whiner in the RS.

Even if you have a valid statement, our young guys have to gain more experience to be more mature and professional.

You can't give them ammunition, you gotta take away their motivation not feed it imo.

I'm okay with talking trash during a game, but not afterwards to the media.

 

This is an article from csnnw.com. I'm sure the Blazers never trash talk. Notice there's no mention of Mo Williams/Troy Daniels incident.

And as don grahamleone alluded to, if the NBA corrected instead of just acknowledging the mistakes the refs made late in those 2 games; the Rockets would be waiting on the winner of the Spurs/Mavs game instead of the Blazers.

 

Where is the trash talk?

This was the only one who trash talk

Talkers vs Doers?

So Doers are now the team the needed a Bad call (confirmed by the NBA) That cost the Series along with lucky bounces and prayers buzzer beaters. This series was a coin flip series where a bad call or a lucky bounce change the outcome.

To bad Houston didn't start from the get-go with the twins tower a whole another series this would have been.

Sometimes better teams don't win series. More time than not they do but sometimes they don't, a lucky bonce, a key injury or a sickness to a player, a bad call, a flop etc, when teams are so even make the difference.

I still think a fare officiate game even with Harden playing like trash Houston was a better team.

Trash talk? they should watch some 80's and 90's bb to know what is trash talk.

 

Parsons consistently looked foolish. Dude was feelin himself.

 

Parsons is a legend in his own mind and I'd hope he would be part of any trade that could land Rondo or Love...
Batum DID WORK on him all series long!!

 

Lin is that you?

 

That's his shtick. I hope he enjoys Boston.
