ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 4/24/2009 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

that's all von wafer D

 

this is great!! rockets just looks like a completely different team at home, a whole lotta hustle from every single player, i sense a blowout.......

 

Teams led by Yao and Brandon Roy aren't sexy enough to warrant airtime for these pandering networks.

 

Yao needs to come down a little bit.He is rushing things.

 

I'm ticked that we're having so much trouble getting Yao the ball, but the blazers are working so hard at denying him everyone else is looking at the easiest drives and most open shots ever.

Can't really complain I guess.

 

Artest is playing like a team player. Maybe he found out that the Rockets are going to resign him so he doesn't have to score points to prove himself

 

if foul criterion on yao were for jazzs and blazers ,every defece of the two teams on yao would be foul.

 

Ron not taking a shot makes him a must-resign.

 

yes

he had at least 4 sequences where he visibly passed up the open shot to get the extra pass.

at least 2 dishes to landry for the midranged.

he looked at game film and saw him and brooks shoot the Rockets out of game 2 he's trying to get other dudes involved

 

hopefully Ron is able to make his shots in the second half. not shooting in the first half could be a bad thing if he starts missing shots in the second. he better get some good warm-up shots during halftime.

 

I sense Ron-Ron is going to explode in the 2nd half. It's too strange he didn't take even one shot in the 1st.

 

if someone had said that a few years after the tmac/steve trade, the only guy from that trade wo'd still be playing would be JUWAN HOWARD, i would have never believed it...

 

The refs basically gave this game to us. The first quarter, we were basically going 8 on 5. Front Yao, foul on Oden. Back him up, foul on Pryzbilla, plus a T. Roy drives. Offensive foul. Drives again. Offensive foul. They try to balance it out by calling fouls on Yao, but we've been getting the better end of the deal.

 

yao needs to elbow some of these portland bigs because they're all over him, and he gets fouls called on him when he trys to get rid of their arm over his shoulder, im still waiting for the day when yao will teach these dirty bigs a lesson

 

roy is probably going to go for 15-20 in the 2nd half too... gotta be ready for the blazers' run in the 3rd quarter

 

Defense first for sure but unless Yao can start scoring and getting their bigs in trouble,we can't win I'm afraid.

 

Well, when your Roy and you run into a set player, you should get a foul called on you.

 

Brooks is still a bone headed passer. Not a good PG....

 

what NBA is and how NBA treat yao , we chinese know very well ,you also
know why .
GO ROCKETS

 

Not quite true, Tyronn Lue is still in the league.
