ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 4/30/2014 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

i think we will pull throught @ home court this time.
game 6 is where the true battle is fought.
portland will need to win that game to advance.

yes, i still believe.

 

When a player who is about my age (Mo Williams) kills your team time and time again then that should tell you put your big boy pants on and grind. (No sexual innuendos intended)

 

Tonight is the night the team breaks the curse of being on TNT and all the negative vibe that Shaq and Barkley put out against the Rockets.

Rockets by 10

Bev is falling apart.

 

Well...damn. He shouldn't be on the floor. This "sickness" has lasted way too long IMO, i wonder if its related to his leg.

 

I don't think McHale will do this, but he should play Lin more minutes earlier in the game and save Beverley for the 4th quarter to get the ball out of Lillard's hands. Lin has been very effective in his first half stints in each of the first 4 games.

 

Rockets win. Harden is the game MVP and Lin is the x-factor.

 

Bev will play bad... why is he still sick WOW...

 

I hope Canaan is active in case Bev is ineffective and Lin continues to suck. Desperate times call for desperate measures and Canaan might be able to give us a shot in the arm similar to Daniels.

 

we need harden to be efficient, going something like 12/20 to win this game.
if he give us another 10/30 , that will be sure recipe for failure!

in other words: make play, share the ball!

 

This...we need better PG production...something...bc it has been God awful for a lot of crunch time possessions...still cant believe we got rid of AB...

 

I continue to be more optimistic as we approach game time, I don't know if this is good or bad

 

Guess we have to run with Lin...ohoh

This is what I've been saying. Don't understand the disparity but maybe the players only enjoy listening to JVG lol

 

Rockets- play like a cornered animal - like you give a damn, with pride and fire.

Beat these m'fn a-holes.

 

I wanna see Daniels knock a cold bloodied three for the win right at Mo Williams face.

 

Someone needs to put Mo on his ass early in the game.

 

This..

Need to have DMO knock the **** out of that fool. He'll get ejected but will have done his part.
