ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 4/5/2013

Front page on ESPN with the title: Sky High. Rockets getting some love from all around.

 

Dmo was 3-10, although he rebounded well.

 

Lol are you serious? Have you seen Lillard play this year..?

 

I saw Lin tried to recuit him before the start of 3rd Q.

 

In terms of impact in games I think Davis has the advantage.

He's averaging 17 points 10 rebounds 2 blocks per 36 minutes. He's putting up better numbers than Dwight did his rookie season.

Lillard puts up numbers but much of his assists are just passes to Aldridge for midrange jumpers, he's not really that great a playmaker.

 

Let's play DeAleck against Denver and rest him for the rest of the regular season.

 

I am liking Smith more and more. DMO has potential but he won't make a living shooting from trey land. Hanging on the 3 pt. line and jacking up 3's is not what he needs to be doing. He needs to post up more.

 

This makes Rockets fan look bad..

 

LOL!! Jeremy was smart and snagged a courtside seat rather than sit on the player's bench.

 

Pointless it's not like he's going to be a FA. Portland actually needs to trade him, but they aren't stupid. They're going to ask alot.

 

One step closer to the playoffs.

 

Why didn't we just let them score 1 more basket so they can have free tacos? We were up 18 =.=

 

Lin is shooting 50% from 3 in the last 4 games. That's a good sign.

 

I certainly wouldn't have a problem seeing him in a Rockets uniform myself.

Was it "butt" or "buy"? :grin:

Absolutely a great win.

Loved Lin's pushing the tempo for teamball and chemistry with Harden!

55pts/14asts by the best backcourt duo tonight!

 

Why do you care about Blazers' fans getting tacos so much?

 

Disagree. Already almost 23. Not particularly athletic. Horrendous defender. Can get a bit better on the defensive end but will probably remain a poor defender.

W/e no point on hating on the kid. I just think people overrate him like crazy. He gets way too much hype considering his deficiencies. People act like he is a great talent but his upside is a good-very good scoring PG that sucks at defense and is so-so at playmaking.

A shame Anthony Davis killed his own ROY candidacy by being injury prone.

 

I'd like to see Lin develop that shot fake and turn around spin into a signature move.
