ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 4/27/2014 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

Daniels drops 40

 

Yeah...It took two Historic games from LMA to beat us too...Harden hasn't even had a good game yet. I hear Blazer fans say this but they don't seem to realize that they have barely beat us both times all while Harden plays terrible.

Now last game was MUCH better for Harden because at least he looked like he wanted to play and win, but the previous games he was garbage and if I were a Blazer fan I'd be terrified of him waking up entirely and his shot starting to fall.

 

The key to winning game #4 is to introduce a new secret weapon: another new guy.

He would keep Portland guessing the whole game --- who is he? what can he do to us？ when will he do it, and how?

Before they can figure it out, we win.

 

just shut the **** up and play..

 

That's what he just said, can you read in between the lines

 

Enough with this pressure on them. We need to come out like we did on game #3 and play with a sense of urgency because this is the ONLY way this team can play better. If we don't do that...i expect a blown out for playing loose and guess what they're going to say afterward?? we didn't play with sense of urgency..we're relaxing...blah blah blah.

 

I would rather him talk than eat another burger.

 

Yeah he should just say no comment and not reply to any media questions.


/sarcasm

 

And Asik making his point blank lay ups!

 

Neither Parsons nor Harden has had a good game yet. Howard has been the only one to reliably show up so far. If the other two show up, lookout POR

 

the pressure is still on us, game 4 is our game 7

 

We need everyone to show up eventually so let's make it this game rather than hoping to show up in do-or-die games.

 

Hope we can make it 2-2.

Has any team come back from 1-3 before? Be real hard i suppose.

 

Yes, ask Tmac.. twice.

 

Edit.. only once. But I think they lost up 2-0 twice.

 

We need a better effort than how we did on game 3. The Beard needs to rise.

 

well if you have to ask...

 

I hate to be so negative, but it will be very difficult for us to win this game for one simple reason: defense. We have been the 2nd worst defensive team in the playoffs by a LOT. Our defensive rating is so bad compared to our regular season rating. It's flat out embarrassing.

We do not stand a chance in this series with the type of defense we've been playing. It's very concerning.

 

Not that it really matters, but who's been the worst defensive team?

 

Golden State (no Bogut will do that to ya)
