ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 12/12/2013

are we in meltdown mode yet?
i can't find the defcon 1 button.

 

Good to see it is another night of people looking at the small picture finding an individual player to blame.

 

Too much blaming Lin & bev here, all we need to do it put the ball in hardens hands and have a spot up shooter like fisher w Kobe and we will win games, he will be able to win most games & take us through playoffs series for the rockets, he's our superstar just trust him we can't win them all guys these kind of games happen.

 

I know, right. Not a big fan of the +- stats.

 

Harden was the only reason we were even in the game tonight. He came through when we needed buckets all throughout the night.

 

we should have played AB tonight.

 

I just didn't like how everybody was fighting with each other and looking at each other wrong and all the negative body language

 

Is this seriously what we're resorting to? LOL.

 

Tell Lin to not worry about scoring or assisting or to get back on plays and he will grab you plenty of rebounds.

Bev fighting for rebounds means others gotta cover cause if he misses the fast break is on and he is out of position.

Bev's rebounding is fools gold.

 

I wish these coaches would have the balls to bench players besides Lin when they don't play well. We should of went with our normal closing line up with Lin

 

Really inexplicable decision not to.

 

To Portland's credit, they took away a lot of the things Rockets are really good at. For example, the Rockets just attempted 20 3s and hitting 5.
And Jones completely got outplayed by Aldridge.

Does anyone else see that the Blazers have a definite size advantage in the front court? That really concerns me.

 

I wonder if Rox can trade Asik for LMA.

LOL can't believe some of you fools actually threw out that proposal with a straight face

 

Guess what? Game thread is back to 90 pages.

 

a well coached team vs a poorly coached team

 

This board is turning into trash. Every ****ing game thread its about Beverly and Lin

 

Make a case why. Who was the most consistent player on the Rockets. Who has the best drive efficiency in 4 categories in the NBA? What's your case that Lin is a backup. Offer some bullet points.

 

A healthy and willing Asik would have been ideal against this team.

 

what was up with sampsons lineups? used the starters tons, weird bench rotations...and lin was random usage. Lin is coming back from an injury so i get it that he didn't play many minutes, but parsons clearly is playing thru his too...dont get why they don't give him more rest.

 

Suddenly offensive rebounding / creating extra possessions for your team is a bad thing. Only on CF.
