ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 1/28/2021

Interesting change of perspective considering you said this team is “trash” earlier in this thread.

 

I never thought a poster could be wrong more often than DDakota. Congratulations, some how you have done it.

 

What? Did you not see how they were guarding him this game? Yall really dont know how to read the game at the either end of the floor. You only notice thing that show up in the stats. Pay attention to defense...I dont know how many times I have to say this. Silas played him a lot of minutes tonight and there is a reason why, he knows the game more than we do.

HP3

 

I really enjoy watching this team. Tonight was my first time watching Wood, but we've won all 3 games since I started watching. Love it.
Can you believe that comeback after a 30-10 start? I honestly wasn't expecting that, so it was fun to watch. Love our starters and love our bench. Still waiting to see Martin get 5 minutes or so again. I loved watching him dunk and block the first game I watched.

I never get tired of watching Wall's speed down the court! I don't miss slow ball, dribble dribble iso one bit! I certainly don't miss small ball. Between Wood and Cousins at center I'm one happy camper. Go Rockets. Love ya Blue!

 

Rockets beat the Pistons, Pistons beat the Lakers, Rockets are better than the Lakers.

Don't @ me. I don't make the rules.

 

Im wearing a Rockets shirt instead. And realizing that this team doesnt have a future currently.

 

only difference is that DaDakota should know better

 

As well as his defense on Melo. Shut his ass down too.

 

Love the username pic haha

 

silas needs to get a handle on the shot allocation. the 3-headed chucker of wall/gordon/dipo is out of control and needs to be reined in, re-directing more touches to wood/brown

 

Ehhh....lets not talk about Melo, I actually feel bad for the Blazers LOL.

 

now I have a moral dilemma. do I keep it or do I honor tradition

 

Every time I see unjustified slander I have this face and I make the Gordon yell right before I post.

 

How dare you post fake photos of me you peasant!?

 

Lol Why his socks so high?

 

I didn't see the game. I'm happy we won.

 

If the Rockets beat the Lakers in their next matchup it's going to be pretty fun around here.

It's gonna be a full on war between the Harden Haters and the HoFs but I'll be watching it from afar and enjoying it.

 

Are you dating @ashleyem ?

 

so you have a time machine... cool...

Spoiler

and wearing rockets shirt doesnt make you not a hof...

 

You have got to give Stone a boatload of credit. When Morey left, I thought we were done for. So many of our future firsts were on the hooks for swaps or traded away, and we had two supermax players who were disgruntled, a head coaching vacancy, and a small ball lineup that came apart at the seams.

Silas is a stud, and I like him a lot. The Wood signing was a steal. The early returns on the Russ trade is an absolute coup. The Harden deal was an absolute haul on the draft picks front and Oladipo might prove to be a better SG than we all imagined or end up playing well enough for yet another deal at the trade deadline. Boogie is looking like he has a ways to go, but he is improving by the game and adjusting to having less mobility than he had in the past. With no draft picks, we have amassed all sorts of young talent: Tate, KJ Martin, Sterling Brown, and Mason Jones have all looked great in the minutes they've been given. Nwaba has proven to be a real player, and Eric Gordon is coming back alive. PJ and House are desirable assets that will likely be moved at the trading deadline.

This is now a young team with many good players, a few stars (not superstars) and a coach who is doing a great job getting the team to gel together and play good on both ends of the floor. As someone who has seen teams throughout the league languish in mediocrity and stink for years on end, you really could not have asked for more from the job he's done.
