ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 2/8/2012

no, you said dumb things. I corrected you with intelligence.

 

Courtney Lee's style of play reminds me of Cuttino Mobley a little...

 

whoops, wrong person. I actually don't know what you mean, but still - I thought you were the original poster that wrote was I responded to.

 

Who is a better PG, Jonnemy Lynn or Kylan Dragry?

 

You would never know the Rockets played a game on NBATV.

 

He didn't get much burn tonight because Bud and Lee were putting on a shooting clinic.

K-Mart can no longer rely on "non-basketball" moves to get to the FT line 10+ times/game, so he's abandoned even putting the ball on the floor and has fallen in love w/ the 3.

Not to mention, he misses Daddy (Adelman).

 

...and yes, I was being sarcastic to the previous poster. After saying the Rockets would've lost if the Blazers had played their starters "Bray and Oden," I laughed, lost my head, and responded. I don't know about the need to call someone stupid right out, but yeh thats what that was. Hysterics.

 

Broy*

 

Yes! 2-0 against the Blazers!

 

Even in Adelman age K-Mart only average played 33 min a game... He usually scored most of his points in the first 2 quarters, and also he had to give up defense to sustain the level he played in offensive end... Therefore, I believe he isn't a guy who are conformable with packed schedule... Also, this year he has raised his defensive intensity, and the official rule has changed unfavorable to him, so I would be surprised if he isn't as consistence and effective as last year.

 

BTW - I loved how the refs were not calling the flops tonight.

One thing I do like about this season is that they are letting them play.

It's more physical and it's fun to watch.

There are inconsistent calls at times but the refs are adjusting too.

 

I just wish more refs would not fall for the flops and screams and flails....just make the shot.....

K-Mart will be traded in the off season, 100% I'm guessing?

 

Regardless of Dragic's lacluster style of play sometimes, I see him as a serious threat in the playoffs and for our team. I hope we don't trade him. He showed a lot of poise in his play after Lowry got injured. I love Dragic. Has a lot of heart.

 

Great win tonight.. tough to see Lowry get injured.

I was sure we would collapse like the Spurs game but they surprised me... glad they could pull it out.

 

This.

We will be fine with Dragic starting for Lowry. In fact, he may even do better starting, just like he did in the last few games last year, when he was a threat for a trible-double every night. Flynn will be the backup, and Lord knows how that is going to turnout.

 

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but LaMarcus Aldridge is a combined 12-35 against the Rockets.

 

I liked that McHale played Parsons and Budinger together tonight a little. I think those two compliment each other well, and that Bud can play the 2 as well if not better than he can play the three - -depending on match-ups of course.

I have to give McHale credit, his rotations make much more sense and seem to be a lot more effective than Adelmans. I like how he'll try things and react in a timely manner when they either work or do not work.

 

If the Rockets and Blazers somehow have the same record for the 8th seed at the end, we hold the tiebreaker over them.
