ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 2/8/2013

Durant goes off on us again!

 

And Lin gets eaten alive.

 

Jeremy needs to stay on Lillard instead of helping on Aldridge. Batum needs to be contained cause he is a Rocket killer. The entire starting five for the Blazers are pretty scary but their bench is pretty bad and we need to exploit this!

 

Gotta win this one.

Lakers lost by the way.

 

I'm nervous about this game, HUGE playoff implications riding on this one. I don't know if my blood pressure can handle it if we go to OT again, we all know how those have ended this season.

 

This team is a consistently solid Lin away from being dangerous playoff fodder. Come on Lin, hoping for a bounceback game.

 

Let's see how much this team has grown.

 

I hope Lin can catch up and stop Liliard from going off

 

Rockets open as 7 point favorites with an over/under of 211.5

 

Refresh my memory...didn't Lin sit out the entire OT period?

Oooooh, Lin is going to play pissed.

 

With the recent adjustments Lin has been making on his D, I think Lillard will have an even harder time scoring. Last game Lillard, though contained in the first 3 quarters, blew up in the 4th and in the OT against Lin and Douglas.

I know that Batum might have an injured wrist, so perhaps he may not go off on the Rockets again. All I know is, Mchale and Lin better not underestimate Lillard and overhelp against LMA.

 

7 pt faves is weird. vegas baiting?
they're pretty much begging people to play blazers considering they've gone 2-0 this season already and they always play games close.

 

Lin with the enemy again.

Big game! Win this one Rockets!

 

Damn, he looks like a rly excited 12 year old kid next to Jeffries.

 

I think you have to give Rockets the advantage. I would not want to bet on Portland since our last game was close and Houston is very strong at home. Our home loss to them was the 3rd game of the season, might as well not even be part of this season if you look at how our team has grown and improved since then.

Add in how every official/unofficial power ranking puts the Rockets well above the Blazers and it's easy to see why the oddsmakers would set it at 7 pts.

 

we can pencil in batum for 40 points before tip off.

 

Hate these bastards. Doesn't matter if we're up by 20 with 5 minutes to go, these punks will still find a way to win.

 

I'm going to ****in kill Jeremy Lin if he literary going off for this game.
I don't give a **** if he play like a **** in the other games, but we are talking about Portland, team with funk, junk and punk.

And for the rest of Rockets, boys, you better get ready. I want it even with Portland at the end of season so bad.
