ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 3/11/2015

yes i am, but i'm not biased like most of you and i will actually give credit to other teams if they play well

some people here are deluded and think we have the best team and should win every game

Fans here attack our own players, i do sometimes but some do it all the time

So don't ask again if i am a Rockets fan............have been since 93

 

I said this before this game!!!

 

Stop it! Brewery was the only one who deserved that shot, but man, what a failure coming out of a time-out. McHale should've drawn up a play with Brewer off the ball, guys moving the ball and setting screens! Not this simple play, way too obvious. I feel bad bor Brewer, he deserved more than this.

 

I just can't believe how fine Harden seemed in the 2nd half though... he was just fine letting Batum hug him and watch his teammate's futile attempt to run an offense. Just so frustrating to watch. Harden didn't try to do anything off the ball he just stood there...

I'm not blaming everything on Harden it's was just so strange to see.

 

I feel you bro I hate this feeling 21 times this year

 

Man it's frustrating to be a rockets fan.

Can the team just please play consistently like early season? You go from bricking 3's all game to bricking layups and missing FT's. Cmon boys lets do better

 

No question he was hurting the team tonight. The missed free throws, got killed on the boards, and couldn't do a lique on a quick tall Aldridge. He may be over rated by us.

 

Rockets were destroyed on the glass...essentially the story of the game, so many offensive rebounds for Portland...that and FT incompetency...They all shot Dorsey bad tonight.

Valiant effort by Brewer, but my goodness...the Rockets played terribly tonight; really surprised they had a chance to win...

And yes Healthy Dwight makes this a different matchup...

 

This is with any elite player actually. If you pack the paint and limit their penetration then you can stop ANYONE in the world. ANYONE.

But someone else HAS to step up. Either someone inside or some other player outside. Otherwise they can always pack the paint and contest every shot of his.

 

I wish Calvin Murphy could just go through some FT workouts with our playoffs.

We're getting our ass kicked on the boards. Jones is too short, Smoove is too inconsistent, Dorsey is Dorsey and Dmo, God bless him, is too damn soft.

Harden disappeared in the second half. Whether that was due to him having PTSD from Game 6 or the constantly doubling by Portland remains to be seen. Our offense fell off a cliff without him, and I feel Priggy would've been swell to have played.

Brewer has so much heart, he wants to win so bad. Single handedly kept us in the game and I had no problems with him taking the last shot (off a Harden pick no less)

We as fans need to quit being arrogant. Portland is a GREAT team. They may not have Wes but they clearly didn't need him tonight as Batum & Afflalo bullied Harden while Aldridge took our lunch money. Until we prove it, Portland will be seen as better than us and they just took the tiebreaker.

 

the hate on Harden here is just crazy, Batum defended him well but unless he gets 50 each game, people go nuts at him

he has only carried us the whole season........

 

Yeah but he looked so disinterested and there was that play where he literally let Batum go right by him

 

Bingo!

The amount of homers on this site is pathetic. Give credit to teams when they beat us.

 

You guys are ridiculous. Brewer had the HOT hands. He was feeling it and he definitely wanted the shot. Harden on the other hand was cold, being locked down, and missing everything. Brewer earned & deserved that last shot.

 

u can tell josh smith doesnt like mcfail.

 

Holy **** everybody calm down. We talk all this mess that James Harden is MVP, but can't concede an away loss to Portland who is 4th in the West? This is the NBA, you are going to get your ass handed to you. The real question is, how doe we respond from a close loss like this?

 

Another painful defeat! ANOTHER LOSE IN A "MUST WIN" GAME! We keep playing without a PG! AMAZING! This team loses every important game! EVERY!!!!

 

Kingston I love Harden but he did play pathetic defense and really looked like he didn't care he had no effort tonight

 

D-Mo was a disgrace tonight. Did they teach how to box out in Lithuania? Harden was terrible to, but he's the MVP, he's allowed to have a stinker or two.

 

very dangerous game tomorrow against Utah, we need to bounce back right away
