    I blame sampson! he is absolutely terrible. Not playing Ab, no adjustments, awful timing with rotations.

    Apparently Greg Smith played for 10 seconds today? Could have used him at the beginning of the 4th for paint presence

    You guys should take a clue from Morey and sometimes give credit to the other team too.

    We lost to a pretty good Portland team on the road. No biggie.

    The rosters will like be better after the trading deadline after we ship Omer's arse out of here.

    Yeah but the last 6 min in the 4th the starter couldn't stop them and u can't blame the bench.

    Normally after a Rockets loss the next game can't come soon enough. Unfortunately Sampson rode the starters like a bunch of secretariats. They might be gassed after tonight's effort.

    also, to be fair to the rockets, i was watching this game. the only games i've seen any significant amount of have been the lakers, mavs, and blazers games. all of which involved getting handled in the 4th and losing. who knows what we do differently in the other 20 games we've played.

    Bench
    Lin -1
    Capssi +7
    Garcia -1
    ============
    Starter
    CP -5
    Jones -26
    Howard +4
    James +2
    Beverlet -15

    Seriously, I think you are sampson today that's why you
    have the same feeling about this game as him

    great game anyway, sometimes the home team just plays better, too much second chance for the blazers, we lost this game because of the bench and defensive rebound

    Which is why he needs to be traded with Asik for a pg the coaches do respect and will play ahead of Bev.

    Are you saying 15 minutes of playtime doesn't make a defense?

    ^ This.

    People here are just as ridiculous as Sampson is. He and the starters get the blame for this one.

    Bench didn't give the team enough tonight and starters had to play too much. The opening stretch by Rox bench at start of 4th was deadly for the Rox tonight.

    ITT: Lin fans acting like that 10-0 run to start the 4th didn't impact the game.

    The starters cut it to two points thanks to harden and Howard but they spent to much energy and the blazers hit huge shots. Harden and Howard are he only two guys that played well.

    Sampson lost this game with that awful lineup to start the 4th go down by 8 to start and lose by 7 I'm glad TNT is doing their little race thing because they would find a reason to bash dwight
