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

Like I said earlier in thread when Garcia is not doing anything on offense he not all that useful either out there.

 

Not sure why everyone is so surprised with Sampson. He did the same thing last season too.

 

Pretty safe to assume this game will go down to the last play.

 

Sampson is doing fine. do yall see what he is doing to Aldridge on the defensive end? Did you notice the defense to end the half?

Rockets just not running like they used to.

 

I think Sampson was offsetting Blzrs' small ball.. it looked like they go Mo in there and they were running Lillard, Bo, and Matthews.

 

RIP Madiba

 

This.

 

lol kenny took a shot at matt bullard

 

Do not bash Chandler the egg，handle with care

 

So much venom against the coach and the team actually has a 1 point lead. I shudder to think what people would say about him if the Rockets actually trailed at half.

I mean, jeez, a player coming back for the first game in a couple weeks doesn't get as many minutes as usual in the first friggin half is not exactly sure sign of racism/bias.

 

Please, let's have about 100 more comments over-analyzing one coaching decision.

 

I don't even care if he hates Asians but we've for a nationally televised game tomorrow and the starters have all played 20 minutes ironic when we get players back the starters play more SMDH come back McHale!!

 

I want my props!!

I posted the above post on 12/10/2013.

Tell me I don't know this team like the back of my hand.
LOL!!

 

Webber smart said too much Hero ball !!!!

5 assists only

 

Seriously right now on TNT? they hatting on Dwight after having a double double in the first half? Lamenting his lefthand when he is making his shots? wtf webber? i thought he was better analyst than that. Shaq rubbing off on him.

 

at defense? yes, today? lin's knee still isn't 100%

 

watch the game, Lin was also in beginning of 2nd qtr. It's his first game back, you want heavy min right away?

As to AB, who's he gonna guard? Bev has been doing a good job not letting Lillard get off, although watch out for his 4th quarters.

I'd say our defense has been very good. Only problem is TJones getting into early foul trouble, which messed up the sub patterns.

 

GOAT rotation

 

fixed

 

To be fair, look at Portland's player minute distribution. It's almost identical to Houston's. It looks like Sampson is matching to Portland or Portland is matching to Houston or maybe both and we go around in circles.
