ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 3/9/2014

This game is not worth one, but two games vs Portland in regards to seeding.

 

From the best defense in Indiana to the best offense with Portland.

 

I am excited that we have Asik this time around just in case LA gets any ideas about going off on us.

 

Harden and Dwight combine for 50 and we win by 20. GG

 

It's candid that LA said it showed their strength coming back from 30. How about it showed their incompetency to be 30 down after only the first quarter and a bit? The only reason to be 30 down so early is because you can't score and you can't defend!

 

You guys ready for 44?

 

Looking forward to Beverley/Lillard matchup!

 

over/under on lillards fg?

38%

 

Rockets take this one . Should be a good game to watch ...

 

Don't want to start anew thread for this but watching the Lakers beating OKC right now. The question I have is do you want the Lakers to win. I am torn. I think we have a legitimate shot at catching the Thunder but if they lose today they'll be desperate on Tuesday.

Just a thought but go Lakers and Rockets.

 

Idk kinda want them to lose because I have faith the rockets are gonna play with fire and be out for revenge again

 

Never thought I will cheer for the Lakers but I hope they keep it up in the 4th quarter against the Thunder. Would be great for our chance to be #1.

 

No need to be torn. Lakers will still be laughed at this year and I think the next few years. No damage done for them to secure a rare win. The Thunder losing would mean we get a rare chance to be #2 or #1. No good when we win and the Thunders and Spurs keep winning to.

 

I don't want the 1st seed no matter what because of Memphis, but if we have it we can throw a couple of games away if want and goto the 2nd. Always root for playoff competition to lose imo, even if it is rooting for the Lakers.

 

You will never know about Memphis. They could be anything between 6th to 9th. If we are #1 we don't want them #8. But if they get to 7th we don't want to be #2. Likewise for #6 and #3.

 

Yeah I agree root again for the Lakers. OKC looked so much better without Westbrook. Not to worried about us getting number one seed. The Spurs are playing out of their minds. So are we but they have 3 games on us.

Back to tonight. We got to beat Portland. Take care of them and we got a pretty good lock on home court first round. Big game.

 

Thats why you always want the flexibility of being able to choose. You can always choose to lose a game or two, not the same case with winning.

 

Memphis might not get in and if so we shouldn't be scared to play any team.

 

Wow I thought Durant was going to save the game with his 3 and 3FTs. Even he missed 2 FTs followed by another tch FT!

Meeks might go for 50!

 

I am not a fan of losing by fielding inferior players and resting some starters. It doesn't do the fans any justice to watch your team lose that way.
