ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 10/30/2018

i dont know. i guess you can say it depends on what type of team it is. not everyone responds to sulking and silence. in fact there was none of that on this team a year ago. that can very much lead to negative vibes and just a recipe for disaster all around

personally dont see anything wrong with a player doing what he can to stay positive in an obvious time of trouble. to each its own.

 

Fair enough

 

Jusuf Nurkic: "We know [the Rockets] are going to play...I don't know what type of basketball that was...but they switched everything"

 

I am catching part of the replay
We get some of the shittiest calls against us
Or no calls


I seen a bullshit charge on Cp3
Amino came over the back no call
Nurkic get a bail out call

Rocket River

 

There's too much going on here. On defense, okay. I'm in the camp of scrapping the switching scheme for our players. If we don't fix the interior defense, we're gonna end up with a 41-41 type of season. On offense, it looks like our stars don't believe in what they have around them.

Our bench is tooooooo thin right now. Give me Harden and Knight and get rid of MCW. Anyone else have Nene nostalgia? We look super soft in the paint even with Clint's double-doubles.

 

Poor Gerald, if only he knew how much these people dont actually support you,they just b**** without any meaningful commentary. Ironically, I am doing the same thing ...sigh.

 

LMAO

 

Like, idk if I'm going crazy, but I dont think ive seen us get this consistently screwed on calls before. Idk this "freedom of movement" thing cant be all of it?

Idk, man Harden and CP played the refs alot last year so maybe they are just making it a point to be harder on us idk.

 

i saw the highlights and melo doesnt box out, he just goes for the rebound and gets it taken away by a swooping center last second

 

Well, that didn't work out.

 

**** traffic was packed with 5 mins left in the game. I wasn’t stating to watch a team not try

0:11-0:30

 

The offense is worrying me more than the D.

I honestly liked most of what I saw on that end in the first half.

Bottem line is we need harden back.

That guy is just an all time great and I think rockets fans are finally getting to see what he really means to this organization.

We go as far as the beard takes us.

Good thing for us is harden takes massive pressure off of cp3 and they fit well.

Honestly the more I think about it the less worried iam.

I truly think we’ll be fine harden just makes everyone’s job easier, I’m sure the players can’t wait for him to get back either, so he can shoulder all the heavy lifting.

On a positive note Gary Clark is a keeper.

At full strength him and ennis need all the minutes at SF.

Melo needs to be Tuckers backup only and knight can’t get healthy soon enough so MCW doesn’t have to play.

I hope we can get butler without giving up those 4 cause I think they’re more than good enough to field a decent bench unit.

But anyone else can go with EG and those picks for jimmy butler.

 

Last NBA champion to start 1-5?

 

Vibes say they *are* worried, just not *too* worried.

Gordon should donate his game check for each he enters @ < 34% 3pt.

Capela should donate his for each he airballs a hook or shoots < 40% FT.

 

We suck

 

Serious question:

Is there any team would like to trade for CP3 now?
