ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 3/20/2018

best offensive player and best defensive player

 

They are are a good team that is one of the few teams that have pushed us

 

I think it’s really sh!tty that players have to entertain these networks with post interviews knowing that theyre commentators have been openly rooting against them....

That was very unprofessional....

 

Party Time

 

Seriously .. People say JJ is a great lockeroom guy and a veteran leader ... If those are true , then this needs to happen .

JJ can play when harden and Paul literally take games off .

 

Blazer fan near me the whole game screaming to Harden that he’s a cheater. (Harden booed him at the end of the game; t’was awesome.)

Blazer fans on the way out of the arena, “How do people even like to watch Harden? He isn’t even good!!!”



42.6.7 on the road in a tough place to play.

That’s some dead sea level salt right there.

 

How do you cheat on huge three point shots? 13 made field goals on 25 shots?

 

I hope so.

That looked real.

 

Damn, I'm not sure if I like that... It was kinda funny, but I feel like we've been talking a little too much **** this year for a team that's trying to win a title.

 

They're ok but they are also at home with the Rockets missing a ton of free throws ... If Wolves Pels and Spurs stayed healthy, where do you think Blazer would be hmmm?

 

Paul said his abductor was fine right after he did it but missed games. Paul is tough so who knows but with hamstrings you gotta be altar cautious . Calf and hammy strains are old man injuries

 

With the POR, OKC, and Utah losses....

We have longest current winning streak in the league, again.

 

blazers can go with any of them. You don’t win 13 straight by fluke.

 

Yeah, the Blazers are no joke. The Rockets are 3-0 against them, but don't be fooled by that record. They had to make a huge comeback to steal that first win in Portland. The second win which was Toyota Center was tightly contested until the final minutes. And tonight was a 2-point game that could've easily gone the Blazers' way had the Rockets not gotten a lucky bounce and the offensive rebound at the end.

 

Clint was in foul trouble so i tjink thats why they happily switched.

 

Man, that cp3-led surge at the beginning of the 4th was fantastic. How many times have we seen this scenario play out so similarly this season?

Cp3 sets it up. The MVP comes in and decimates.

I have to give props to D'Antoni for giving Green second half minutes. He played very well when he was out there on both sides of the ball. And Ariza, I ****ing love this guy. He is just clutch. His shot can be off for a month but when he puts one up in the final minutes of a close game, he drains it more often than not. Cold-blooded killer, that guy. A lot of solid contributions across the board.

My only gripe is, that even though Ryno was getting abused defensively almost every possession for his 9 mins played, I would've liked to have seen him run the small ball 5 while Nurkic was on the floor. And I'm pretty sure Johnson didn't need 15 mins. Throw 5 of those Ryno's way.

Other than that, I'm erect. Let's go.

 

They were already motivated and giving 100% ... This is basketball, you can be mad all you want, Rockets will still iso your weaknesses and drop 120 on your ass..

 

And a very real shot at another double digit winning streak.

 

I wouldnt say lucky, I would say the blazers are lucky the rockets didnt play to their potential or it would have been a blowout.
