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

As if he has any chance in hell of blocking Melo's shot. How often does Ben block anything? lol

 

McLemore is one of the worst defenders I've ever seen, but the man can shoot.

I really have no idea why Carroll doesn't at least get a shot

 

it’s 1 half...Idk why people act like every mediocre-bad team will get blown off the floor and not be competitive

 

seems like getting destoryed on the glass and allowing extremely easy buckets down low to bigs is just something MDA and Morey expect night in and night out.

I guess they hope to counter it wit forced turnovers, excessive 3's, and westbrook drives, but the rockets being cold from 3 is not an anomaly.

 

Oh, they will show their face again when things turn for worse.

Cockroaches and their agendas.

 

Carroll sucks and plays like he has 2 torn ACLs...he’s garbage

 

We need our "centers" to shoot around 35%* from 3 to have a realistic shot.

*I just threw that number out there idk what it is for sure.....but I know one guy who does! *insert Morey pic here*.

 

The bench did not look good. Need to play Carroll and Luc but we know MDA won’t. Have no idea why we even got those guys, smh.....

 

Pretty obvious about 20 games ago. That‘S not new

 

we have become the GS warriors . If you dont put us away , we win

 

Now we get to see if Portland can keep up with us when we make our push!

 

They have the right to feel frustrated, but not with the "I told you sos," yes.

 

Interested to see what adjustments the Rox make at the half. Hitting our 3’s would be a nice adjustment.

 

Mike D’Antoni be like harden plz save me

 

Pleasantly surprised by how well House has been in the bubble. Looks confident when he shoots now. If he keeps this up, we are destined for a deep playoffs run

 

I feel like every game down the road is either going to be a blowout loss, or a close win. Because we will get destroyed on boards and in the paint night in and night out, but opponents will have hard time stopping us.

 

teams no longer have the guts to guard Harden straight up...the double teaming is getting comical at this point

I have never seen the game plan for a guard be to double him at half court from the jump no matter if he’s hot or not

 

I told you so's are premature.

Game is still going on.

But we will win.

And I won't bother to say I told you so.

 

I really need Westbrook to play at that MVP level!

 

I'm not saying he should do this all the time, or even with any measure of frequency. But I wish James would, on occasion at least, consider taking the mid range jump shot that he was once exceptional at and I suspect can still hit at a very high clip. Teams overplay his 3-point shot and overload the rim, giving him an easy shot around the free throw line. When he's off or not getting anything else, I don't know why he wouldn't take what the D is giving him.
