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

Don't forget going to his left as well, now nobody even mentions Lin is bad going to his left his handling is much more comfortable now

 

Lol..

 

to got to many FT on headbanging, seems not to improve his freeshooting :grin:

 

Kelvin Sampson is not a very inspiring type of guy

 

Lolcats choke a 20 PT lead. Still not worried about the Lakers though

 

says a lot about Miami defense

 

You say this after a 36 pt, 12 rb, 7 assist performance against the latter...?

 

Well Lillard and Aldridge are doing good but atleast we got Batum in check hope for more defense in the 2nd half

 

I know it's way too much to ask.
But darn, I want to see a blowout tonight so muccch

 

Hats off to the coaching for sticking with this constant movment and screening on offense. Loving it.

 

lol i was just about to ask that

 

Asik has been lessening Aldridge's dominance a little bit. So has Lin. If they keep up the D on these 2, as well as Batum, we win easy.

 

Pretty good game for the Rockets so far.

Im a little concerned about Portland getting 11 more shots than us in the first half. Rockets only 1 offensive board?

Otherwise, solid.

 

So has Lin on Lillard*

 

You just pretty much named 2 teams that met in the Finals last year...

but yea, Rockets have been playing well against every team so far expect those 2 powerhouse team... but at the same time, its an amazing feat considering this is the youngest team in the league, and a 1st year squad.

Once chemistry sets in, and experience are gain... this will be a very bright and exciting team.

However, as great as this team is... it suffers from one thing, they are the Houston Rockets. It seems like Refs somehow become incapable of calling fouls and instead swallow the whistle like its Stern's penis or something.

This reminds me of the Yao and Tmac era... Yao was pretty much hack every game and no foul, while Van Gundy is going crazy on the side screaming at the injustice. Harden is getting some calls... which is amazing... while Lin needs to get closelined to get a call

 

mchale is actually doing an honorable job getting these guys to move well without the ball

 

It is such a luxury to have Harden on offense.

 

Houston gonna upset OKC

 

When Lillard and Hickson were the only Blazers starters in, Houston took advantange and pushed it for that run in the first half of the 2nd. It's too bad Douglas had to leave, which kept Beverley in the game with Harden. If it were Douglas, it may have affected how the that worked out.

The Rockets really needs a better PF with some rebounding and physical play.

 

Agree. Way to go McHale. Please keep it up.
