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

yah no doubt man, i mean with gasol on the lakers and amare moving to the PF position i just cant trust Scola and Landry in the playoffs ( if we do make them) i mean Scola is playing great but his defense is not quite up to par to guard the best PF's in league and Landry is a rookie and is inconsistent, and playing chuck is just horrible for our offense

 

I agree with you but there is no way the Rockets will go for J. O'Neal because of the size of his contract unless the deal involves moving McGrady.

 

We won, I know.

Anyone else not liking Tmac's attitude in the first half and shot selection?

 

JO is overpaid and broken down.

 

Exactly.

Plus, where would Battier fit on that team? Dunleavy and Granger are their 2 perimeter players. They love Granger and Dunleavy is having a career season.

For multiple reasons, this rumor has to be bogus.

 

Sounds awfully similar to some team that lost to Philly at the Toyota Center

I kid.

Warriors are the type of team that can get hot. And Washington does not have the weapons to pound them on the inside.

 

I agree that PF could be an issue. Just look at the last few games.

vs. Port: Aldridge 22 pt, 5, rb, 3 bl
vs. Minn: Jefferson 33 pt, 16 rb, 3 bl, 3 st
vs. Bucks: Bogut 21 pt, 5 rb, 4 bl
Villenueva 14 pt, 6 rb (though he did play basically as SF)
vs. Ind: Foster 13 pt, 17 rb
vs. GSW: Beidrens 14 pt, 12 rb, 1 bl
vs. Utah: Give credit shut Boozer down: 13 pt, 10 rb
vs. Seat: Thomas 16 pt, 5 rb
Petro 10 pt, 5 rb (back up center)
Collison 14 rb

Now we have been winning, so if we can give up these games and still win, I'm all for it. But You cannot consistently give up big games in the playoffs down low.

 

i bet 200$ rockets will be 2nd seed in the west!

 

still 31 games left.....

 

Houston better than Spurs, Yao+Scloa>Tim+orberto
than Mavs, Adelman>Averson
but still a littke worse than new Lakers and Suns with Shark

 

let's keep on going...

 

OT: How much does T-Mac jump for his J???

 

After a ugly first quarter, the Rockets picked up. Nice win!!!!
7 streak. That s nice.
T-Mac was great in the second half because he was motivated. When he wants, he can do it, but the problem is that he dont always want.
Yao and Scola are very good these days and Bonzi is big on the bench.

 

Great win and it's going a huge one as we win the tie breaker against Blazers.
Unfortunately, GSW managed to squeeze another win (*sigh*). I thought
they were done when they were trailing huge but then they are warriors and
fight back and won. When can we get into the last eight??

 

TMAC should stop jacking up shots !! especially when you're obviously not hitting it...damn.....he just jack up shots after shots in this game.....if you're not making your shots drive it in the paint or not jack up shot at all...

 

Hey, we did gain on Dallas last night. Both Dallas and Spurs are at 17 losses now. Maybe we won't pass GS but we can pass both Spurs and Dallas.

 

They threw some pretty good athletes at Mcgrady last night....Outlaw, and Webster. Both big long athletic defenders....Give credit where credit is due....

Mcgrady needs to produce more points at home, but its good to see that when defenses shut Tracy down we can still win ball games.

 

Yeah Dallas was a real surprise. As long as they continue this trend, I am all happy. because GSW also gain on Dallas.

 

Another great win...Not sure what's going on, but I like it...

 

T-Mac missed some gimmes in the first half, his second half was 5 for 9. You would think he was 3 for 16 based on the complaining.
