ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 12/22/2014

rest the starters... not worth aggravating injury

 

Bleh, Blazers are playing their best bball of the season the last few games while the Rockets are playing their absolute worst.

Going to have to turn things around if we want to win. Feed the big man, he excels against Portland. I hope to god DMo can guard LMA.

Hopefully Brewer can get things going in the 2nd unit. This will be a tough game, I hate the way we've been playing lately.

 

brewer and shved debut this gonna be interesting game. alwayss like to revenge that .9 game

 

I have a feeling Harden and Howard would want to play this game,just to get even with the blazers for how the series ended last year.

I predict Brewer and Shved will get heavy rotation minutes.

 

Is Shved supposed to be a rotation player for us now? He's been a castoff for a while now, but I've always thought he could play. If he can add some depth I'd be thrilled, but I'm not sure how effective he can be.

 

Blazers bench is AWFUL

if we get production from our bench we will win.

 

He's supposed to be an expiring contract. If we can throw him in and he can credibly play backup 1 and/or 2 it's a bonus. I hope McHale will toss him out there just to see what we've got.

 

If Sheved can give us some playmaking, that would be great

 

mchale wont play canaan probably until ben has another injury.. then he'll be like gee this canaan kid can play

 

First half we will down 20pts.

 

Corey Brewer goes for 51 points.

 

4 point favs

 

i can't wait for this game. i especially want to see how donuts fares against aldridge.

 

I wonder how the Rockets are going to respond to this team... I'm hoping they have a "If you didnt hit that last shot we would have won the series cause we really are a better team" mentality, and go out their and make sure the world knows it.

 

Rockets lost this series by a total of 2 points. That's how close it really was.

They better believe they are better than this team. I'm not even really that worried about it, if they play defense like I know they can play they can beat any team on any night.

 

Before his NBA draft, he was described as a natural pg. For this team, it will be a first, because aside from Harden, nobody can create a thing.

If he can be a light Dragic for us (I know it is a stretch), he will be part of the rotation.

For tomorrow, I would bet that Brewer plays. PG duties are harder to assimilate in a new system, so Shved may have to sit for a few games and learn.

 

aw crap....

 

Lol what system

 

If we still play effortless as last 2 games, stand no chance to win.

 

Hey man, he's gotta learn a pretty large playbook. Pass to Harden, pass to Dwight, uhhhh
