ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 11/3/2007

Played very well in the first quarter. Played good in the second quarter. Coasted in the third and fourth quarter.

These guys better bring their games out against Mavericks and Spurs next week!

 

At the start of the game, when Chuck guarded Aldridge, he couldn't do squat. Almost all of his points are against Yao. This is concerning - seems teams are starting to copy Utah, put two bigs that can hit from longer distance thus forcing Yao to come outside and reducing his defensive efficency.

 

Provide a link that states SF3 is 20 lbs too heavy.

 

That's for sure.

[Get in before LOCKED!]

 

its because rox was on cruise control the rest of the way.

 

Apparently the guy you quoted said put him in for the last 26secs. Not start him instead of Alston.

 

I wasn't pleased with the second half play of the Rockets, but the intangibles came through for us...hustle, battling for lose balls, 2nd chance opportunities, and good defensive adjustments. Ill take it!

 

start Stevie next game!

 

this is the thing w/ this team. we played w/ great energy to start, get a big lead, then we just lulled everyone to sleep by putting it on cruise control. i hate that.

 

Better yet, Mavs and Spurs better bring theirs.

 

Agree. The entire D looks horrible too.

 

lol at yao's post game interview...he still needs to learn some english vocabulary.

 

Horrible second half, the Rockets felt it was pretty over !
Anyway great first quarter and beginning of the second, that's where the difference was made.

The only great thing we have to remember about this game is that it's a win, so we're 3-0 that's great.

Can't wait for the 2 BIG games coming up, it's going to be really serious, just as in Utah.

I'm confident about it, Rockets can take it !

 

I'm aware of that. Why would you put anyone in for the last 26 secs. Thats more disrespectful than helpful. Thats why its funny. I also didnt say anything about him starting. That would be a joke if someone suggested that, in the condition he is in right now.

 

The key player here in the next two games will be Scola. I am really interested in seeing how he will perform against the Mavericks. Yao and Scola should pound the Mavericks from the inside and try to put their big men into foul trouble.

 

scola's +/- for this game is +15. impressive!

 

3-0 baby, we're off to a good ass start...

 

we have back to back games against the Mavericks then the Spurs...

It'll be a good early season test

 

yes, and watch thy language.
