ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 2/11/2008

Hold on a second...you say Mike James doesn't fit on this team? Hmmmm......maybe you're on to something. Let's ponder this startling insight! I bet after Daryl Morey reads your post he will consider trading Mike James! Way to go, man!

 

Indeed. I love the defense we played in the second half, well, until James and Novak came in. You can see the Portland team panicking.

 

Yao should buy Scola a drink after every win.Without Scola, he can not play steadily every game. Spurs are annoying now,

 

Tmac really picked up his defense in the 2nd court. Keep up the good work.

 

You stole my comment: I loved the defensive intensity, especially in the second half. When the Rockets play inspired defense, their offense actually improves.

 

Ok, since you want to be a jerk, we can take it there. Morey is the one who masterminded the trade, so that's his bad. You aint gotta be a trick to make a point.

 

our D in the 3rd qt was stiffing!
i felt like they couldnt do anything, at all.

 

Tmac played gread D this evening, so forgive his bad shots this time.

 

Good game. Good start. Good finish. Just the middle part was iffy, but we did fine. Not so sure what it was that was going on, but hopefully they fix it. Now, sacramento. This should be interesting defensively., because Artest runs the 4 spot, plus, they have martin and garcia running around along with bibby.

 

Solid win despite a poor offensive showing by TMac. He really picked up his D in the second half, though and made some big shots too.

Yao was a beast; Battier played very well as did Alston and Scola.

Another good performance and another win! Let's hope GoldenState loses tonight!

 

How about a Bourbon-Dr. Pepper...that's a pretty good drink....

 

WAS 37
GSW 22

End of 1st quarter.

 

Rafer played real well defensively and offensively from what I was able to see
( 2nd half). Do yall still think we need to do a trade? Even tho they are clicking

 

Golden State is so dangerous, it seems like no lead is safe. And as far as the Dallas game:
You LIVE BY THE JUMPSHOT YOU DIE BY THE JUMPSHOT!

 

im still kinda worried about the team's poor effort in the 1st half. they played well in the 2nd but didnt have it in the first...last year was different, they normally played well in the 1st half and almost (or sometimes did) give the game away in the final half, and then everyone would bash the team.

...but now we played bad 1st half, however we won and everyone's happy. but personally im not ok with how this team STARTED the game.

 

Great win tonight. Good to see the Rox building leads in the fourth now instead of losing them. Go Wizards!

I agree.

I expect GS to regain the lead at some point.

 

Yeah,everytime you got sth to say.haven't you ever been happy?

 

Take what where? The part where you repeat what everybody has been saying for months as if you just struck basketball insight gold? You're right, you might not have been paying attention to the dozens of threads talking about what a bust Mike James is and how we all hope Morey can find some sucker to take him off our hands. I apologize. I'll save you these next posts:

"Mike Miller sure would be a nice fit in Adelman's offense."

"Damn, Rafer can't shoot worth a crap!"

etc.
