ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 11/5/2013

Harden had 35 and 33 last two times they met, I am expecting a big bounce back game from him. Let go 4-1 Rockets!

 

I'm predicting another slow start. Exactly the same thing that happened most of last season. For some reason, this team rarely fires on all cylinders right out the gate.

 

if Rockets is 3-7 for the first 10 games, will Morey replaced McHale?

 

lets get this win! show some character Rockets!

 

You wish….. NO

I don't think this is a team (if healthy) that is in any risk of losing 5 games in a row much less 7.

 

Can't wait 'til game time. Times moving so slow

 

I don't think so either, but you never know.

All I know is McHale will never lead any team to the final.

 

Not true, according to Jason:

"...Lillard enters tonight’s contest red hot, averaging 25 points, 5 rebounds and better than 5 assists per game while shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc on a whopping eight attempts per game. His PER of 27.13 ranks 13th overall in the league. That said, it should be noted that Jeremy Lin more than held his own in the point guard matchup with Portland last year, especially when the games were played here in the City of Roses: Lin averaged 16.5 points, 9.5 assists, 5 rebounds and 52.4 percent shooting per game in those contests while averaging a plus/minus of +12. The Rockets will likely need similar productivity from Lin tonight."

I was in the April game in Portland. Jeremy played very well and we won.

 

Let's bounce back and get the W....focus on D our offense will fall into place

 

Hopefully Harden has seen all the hate he's been getting and really tries on defense tonight

 

aside from that game winner, i don't remember Lin being outplayed by lillard last year...

 

And i guess there is your proof

 

Can I get tomorrow's powerball numbers? Probably some other ways you can use your ability to see into the future put to use as well.

 

oops, quoted the wrong person

 

No, but he might get rid of you.

 

We gotta show out for LMA.

 

Hoping for a big bounce back game for Harden. I want to see Dwight dominate the board again. Not getting a good feeling about this game, but I'll be fine with whatever result as long as our 2 superstars & co try hard on defense. Lastly, we need to cut down on the turnovers. Bring it home, boys!

 

Too bad Beverley is missing. He could have slowed down Lillard some. But then again, Aaron Brooks did help beat the Blazers in the playoffs in 2009. Lets rekindle the magic!

 

I will cringe if I see one more Parsons pump fake
