ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 5/2/2014 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

The problem with Harden playing PG is he'll get burned by all the good PGs in the league. Maybe we can hide him on D by letting him guard Lopez LOL

 

Jones was defending the potential pass to paint on that play. Ridiculous. Should have been up on the inbounder tight and not let them get that entry pass to 3-point land. Too easy. Put Dmo in for that, Jesus.

 

Has a series ever ended on a buzzer beater before?

 

Honestly boiled down to the short leash/lack of trust in Lin by Mchale. Dude held lillard to 0 points and played good D on him all along. Seriously Mchale why did you change things up like that?

 

LACES OUT PARSONS!

 

You could have Lebron James on him, and nothing would have stopped it with the way they set up.

 

Remember when Lin blocked POR's play(pass to Lillard) in reg. season?
POR coach praised Lin's good read after that game.

If McHale trusted Lin, he should had played Lin in GM4OT and GM6last minute,
and HOU would won this series

 

He f'd up in preseason by starting Bev with the Twin Towers. Best line-up was...

Lin
Harden
Parsons
Howard
Asik

Why was Parsons guarding Lillard?
Why was Harden even in the game?
Lin should have guarded Lillard.
What was T-Jones doing?

 

He was guarding nothing. A 2 ties it. A 3 kills your season. I wonder if McHale even thought Portland might go for a 3. Boneheaded. Jones could have stopped that play from happening by denying the pass to Lillard. He was right there but standing three feet to the wrong side! It was a walk in the park for Lillard and Batum.

 

It was 0.9 seconds left.

If it was possible to create a player "wall" about 10ft around the inbounder,
the pass to any player and then for that player to shoot, would be at
least a second. I think

I guess maybe that's why I'm not a b/ball coach

Still sucks, this downer of a feeling.

 

THE NBA OWN US A REDO GAME....... Clock never ran when he had the ball in his hands so Houston Rockets fan we really won got cheated again bet it was a Portland persom handling the clock smh...

 

Buzzer beater to end a series? Yeah. "The Shot" by MJ over Ehlo. It was a 2 point buzzer beater to win the game by one and end the series 3-2. The Bulls ended up losing in the 89 ECF. I can't think of any others.

I know one thing. The NBA made a lot of money off this series and couldn't be happier with the way it ended. I know Portland had the most unsold tickets last season and it won't be a problem selling tickets for the next few seasons in Oregon.

 

Quoted the wrong post. Stupid picture messing up the thread.

I still don't consider the Stockton shot a buzzer beater. There was .4 on the clock and that's all Moses needs.

 

That's just it, we were set up completely incorrectly for a play with that much time on the clock, people saying Lin should have been on (like why? he's as bad defensively as Harden is lazy) don't get it, you replace Parsons with Lebron who I'm sure we'd all agree is an amazing defender, and nothing changes because of how we were positioned.

EXPIRATION OF TIME

NO LESS THAN :00.3 must expire on the game clock when a ball is thrown inbounds and then hit instantly out-of-bounds. If less than :00.3 expires in such a sit-uation, the timer will be instructed to deduct AT LEAST :00.3 from the game clock. If, in the judgment of the official, the play took longer than :00.3, he will instruct the timer to deduct more time. If less than :00.3 remain on the game clock when this sit-uation occurs, the period is over.

NO LESS THAN :00.3 must expire on the game clock when a player secures possession of an inbounds pass and then attempts a field goal. If less than :00.3 expires in such a situation, the timer will be instructed to deduct AT LEAST :00.3 from the game clock. If less than :00.3 remain on the game clock when this situation occurs, the period is over, and the field goal attempt will be disallowed immediately whether successful or unsuccessful.

This guideline shall apply to any field goal attempted by a player after he receives an inbounds pass, OTHER THAN what will be called, for this purpose, a "tip-in" or "alley oop."

A "tip-in" is defined as any action in which the ball is deflected, not controlled, by a player and then enters the basket ring. This type of action shall be deemed legal if :00.1 or more remains in a period.

A "high lob" is defined as a pass which is tipped by an offensive player while in mid-air, and is followed instantaneously by a field goal attempt. If the reception of the pass and the subsequent "slam dunk" is immediately adjacent to the basket ring, this type of action shall be deemed legal if :00.1 or more remains in a period. However, if the "high lob" attempt is a distance from the basket ring whereby the ball must be controlled in mid-air, either one-handed or two-handed, a minimum of :00.3 is nec-essary for a field goal to score if successful.

NO LESS than :00.3 must expire on the game clock when a player secures pos-session of an unsuccessful free throw attempt and immediately requests a timeout.

If LESS than :00.3 expires in such a circumstance, the time on the game clock shall be reduced by at least :00.3. Therefore, if :00.3 OR LESS remain on the game clock when the above situation exists, and a player requests a timeout upon securing pos-session of the ball, the period is over.

During ANY regular or 20-second timeout taken during the FINAL minute of ANY period, the crew chief must meet with his fellow officials to discuss possible timing scenarios, fouls being taken if either team is under the penalty limit, number of timeouts, assistance by all officials on 3-point field goal attempts, rotation or away-from- the play foul.

Regardless of when the horn or red light operates to signify the end of period, the officials will ultimately make the final decision whether to allow or disallow a successful field goal. THE CREW CHIEF MUST TAKE CHARGE OF THE SITUA-TION.

 

Lin played Lillard perfectly in the 4th. Lin has the speed to do it... At the very least a NBA level head coach should understand a 6' 9" small forward is going to have issues keeping up with ONE OF THE FASTEST POINT GAURDS IN THE ****ING NBA! McHale did this several times this series. Lillard has burned Parsons plenty this series. And you can't blame Parsons. An NBA coach should not expect their small toward to keep up with a blistering fast pg. Lin has had a history of at least competant D on Lillard. At the very least the only two players that should be anywhere near Lillard on that final possession are Bev and Lin. That's it. No one else on the team should have even contemplated keeping up with Lillard.

 

We are a soft under coached overrated team. Harden, im off ur wagon, u wilted in the face of playoff pressurePressure

 

McHale taking the heat off what a S*** series Harden had.

 

i don't understand. why did portland try so hard!? bunch a losers.
