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

hehehehehe :grin:

 

After Portland we have the Lakers and Clippers. These 3 games can go either way but the next 3 Toronto, Philly and Knicks should be easy wins so a record of 6-4 should be as low as we should be after 10 games. 9-1 record is still doable.

 

Lets see back to back = starting off slow so slow starts = team not trying so not trying = no defense and no defense = down 15 at the half = climbing out of hole in the 2nd half which would = to another L

 

I was AT the game. Parsons was in street clothes and riding boots.

Truly, so many b2bs at the beginning, but seems like there won't be as much later, so it's not that bad.

 

YES. Would be great to match up with Lilliard

 

Alright! We need him to help Harden play D.

 

Yesss. I hope he does a good job tonight against lillard and even better against Cp3 later this week.

 

So obviously Beverley could have played last night but decided to duck out against CP3.

 

If Bev plays tonight, that means he'll be ready for the Lakers on Thursday and Clippers in the rematch.

 

PB not gonna help Harden or anyone else play D but it will give his team energy to play better IMO

 

Patrick saw our putrid defense last night and decided enough is enough. Having him back would be huge simply because we can play a Bev-Lin backcourt if Harden is rolling out the red carpet for the other team again.

 

Really?

 

Save bev 4 CP3. Destroy that whiny little b****

 

We need a lineup change and start Casspi.

We struggled against very bad teams (Bobcats, Jazz) and got destroyed by the Clippers.

Twin Towers experiment is a fail.

 

Wow thank you! I didn't know he would be able to play the next two games if he played today!

 

agreed

 

This is a game we should win. While the Blazers have a good team, they aren't as talented as us. These are the types of games you should win if you are serious about contention.

 

At the beginning the NBA is having a lot of games to go with their free League Pass viewing.....you know, get you hooked so you buy

I hope PB can play but not if he's 100% because last thing I want to see is him doing more harm to his abs --- long season, rest the few more games.
