ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 4/23/2014 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

McHale I feel has still made no real improvements or adjustments. Howard is just beasting and its still tied. No excuse for them not to be hard doubling LMA. Get the ****ing ball out of his hands. Again, he is playing well enough right now to beat you all by himself.

 

Jams don't miss...stop all that Hakeem stuff (he definitely isn't Hakeem). Go up for the jam and see if you can draw a foul on LMA. Even with the superstar bologna, my guess is he gets the call and maybe an and 1 possible.

 

You mean short if the Rockets lose tonight.

 

Pathetic this game is tied with the way Howard has played.


This team, and the coaching staff are letting Howard down, they need to step it up, even to half of what Howard is putting in.

 

Yet he goes to the line more than Howard...

Amazing isn't it? A guy who shoots jumpers all night long continues to go to the line over and over...

 

He took less money to be here. Probably got Rockets's word that he'll get run in the playoffs.

Good guy and flashes of great D, but he's been cold lately. Let's hope he picks it up.

 

The Rockets need a balanced attack. Its great that Dwight exploded in the first half, but the other players look completely out of sync. The Rockets are at their best when they're moving the ball and everyone is touching it, not just dumping the ball to Howard.

 

dwight making all his freethrows

 

So what was McHale's secret adjustment that he said we'd find out about tonight? Have Dwight go on beast mode?

 

So you think the refs are bad because they don't call fouls in favor Dwight for being Dwight. Dumbass

 

That's what we said after his last game, and yet it continues..

 

McHale needs to talk to these refs and give it to them a little. The calls that Aldridge get are fouls committed on Howard every play.

 

LMA is swiping the **** out of Dwight no calls.. he is getting pused on every possession.. man I really hope the calls go in our favor in the 2nd half or we are done.. Look how aggressive Dwight has been.. all points in the paint yet LMA has gone to the line more than him? ridiculous.

 

That 3 by Harden should be continuation...stupid ****ing refs.

 

Maybe that's the strategy they've decided to go with. Let Aldridge get his and hold the other guys in check. The problem is you can let him get 30-35 points, keep the rest of the Blazers from going off, and probably win the game if you shoot at a respectable percentage yourself. But at the pace Aldridge is on, he may hit 45-50 tonight. You won't win if he scores that many points.

 

Haha good luck with that!

I mean he should try but I doubt it works.

 

McHale is ok, it's the refs

 

We need to double team Aldridge every effing time. I don't care who is left open, Aldridge is beating us almost by himself.

 

LMA should have like 15 points instead of 25 half of those misses were bail out calls by the referees.
