ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 1/20/2014

Although win is win, but it doesn't deserve happy. The coach group must solve defense problem

 

should have

Also, Garcia is hurt.

 

8 points in 8 shots, 5 assists, 4 turnovers, +/- of -7

It was a pretty mediocre game. Rockets and Lin fans should expect better of an $8 million player

 

yea they iso Lillard or LMA.....just like the Rockets iso harden or dwight in the post.

 

Rockets play first on TNT game ends on time, but somehow without fail if the Rockets play 2nd the game goes an extra 15-20 minutes even if it's a blow out

 

he saw the score and went with the default response. its lazy...

I wonder what other people thought about the defense tonight. Portland had 110+ but I felt the defense was superb. Rockets got back on defense in transition; even when there was a break down, Rockets were scrambling all over the place. I felt they got a lot of really good stops tonight.

 

Taj Gibson hit a game winning lay up against the Lakers lol

 

I bet when Jeremy goes home tonight, he probably write in his diary and cry his heart out.

 

Lol Bev 1st game back and he brought that tenacious energy. Parson balled out of control indeed. You picked him that all gravy , can't go wrong with either choice.

And please stop bringing up Lin every time someone mentions Beverley.

 

This is exactly what I was thinking!

 

everyone but one player had a +. Not a bad night overall.

 

I feel like TNT just doesn't like talking about us after we win. If we would have lost, they would be all over us and Dwight.

Seriously, who cares about the lakers or the bulls when they are both without their star players? They just want to waste time till the pacer game.

 

wow bev +26

 

I can't imagine how well we are going to perform once tjones returns to the lineup. D-Mo will help Lin set the tone with the second unit since he could actually score pretty well

 

Very nice win, but I’m still worried that the offense is SO dependent on 3s. The team took 33 attempts tonight, that’s 38% of the FGs. I’m just skeptical that this over dependence will get the team past another very good team in a 7 game series. To me the win against the Spurs was more the prototype ideal performance against a very good team. In that game, Houston shot the exact same total FGs and less 3s, but was just as efficient, and had more assts and less TOs. I hope I’m wrong and the team hits a high percentage of 3s in a playoff series, if they continue to depend so much on the 3.

Parsons had a big game, and Bev had a great first game back. Next game will be huge…the last two times they played and lost to the Kings, either Bev or Lin was out of the lineup. Now that both are back, I’m cautiously optimistic and expect a win.

 

Damn, Asik isn't even there.

 

Do you ever get tired of being a troll?

 

I thought there was a bigger discrepancy in Lin and Beverley's minutes. Only 4 minutes.

 

Still with all the whining about Lin's minutes. Guys, they basically split time evenly tonight, what more do you want at this point? Lin with 25 minutes, Bev with 29. Bev had a better game. It is what it is. There is no conspiracy here.
