ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 4/26/2009 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

he has no fouls on him, he can play more aggressive now, go for the kill.

 

Yikes... we're winning, but we're not controlling the game. We need to turn up the D in the 2nd half.

 

Shane needs to guard Outlaw when Roy is out of the game, Landry is messing up, so give Chuck more mins

 

He said that right before Game 2, and we lost it. He's been pretty bad with his playoff predictions except for the Lakers.

 

Agreed. I don't feel comfortable with the way we've let Outlaw have a nice 2nd Q. He scares me.

 

So he does have an urban black accent?

I noticed Nowitzki's accent becoming more urban as of late also.

 

Our starting lineup is playing some superb basketball. The only reason why Portland is in the game is because they're making their outside shots.

Our second unit needs to play better, however. We're definitely missing Mutombo on the defensive end. I'd also like to see them push the ball more and get out on fast breaks, which is their strength, instead of always trying to play half-court offense, which is the starting lineup's strength.

 

i think "wearing him out" is over used. Yes, he's tired, but most players are somewhat tired, the one's most involved are usually as tired as yao is. It's just more visible with him because he's shown on camera more. Even Paul Pierce was breathing hard when he was interviewed in today's game, so are most players interviewed at the half right after the were running around the court.

 

Next season, Rockets better get a quality PG. Brooks does not cut it!

 

Half time show wasted on discussing Outlaw ? LOL if we do bad, they talk about how incompetent we are, Tracy cannot cary the team etc.
This year we finally do well and they do not even discuss our team, just briefly saying we're better.

Toyota Center is dead, I do not know why we have a good home record but certainly not due to the fans. Where's Deke by the way, he's not on the bench
Also with Deke out, there's absolutely no cheerleading going on. They used to stand all game long, now it's low energy. Come on Rockets, support your team

 

He had to hit some sometime, he's been horrible this series. Luckily his shots didnt look that legit, like he's got his shot back or anything, they just happened to go in.

 

We're too talented for this Blazers team.

Yao and Artest can combine for 20 and we will still win...

 

Sarcasm? If not, STFU!

 

Maybe the swine flu outbreak is scaring ppl off from cheering too loudly.

 

try change to "too experienced"

 

Not sarcasm, It is a fact. And you can shove it!

 

Roy has shot buzzer beaters after catching the ball, Artest needs to prevent him from getting the ball way better especially when the shot clock is running down, thats when they look for Roy

 

shout out to ralph sampson by TNT

 

COme on crowd, we all know how important this game is , get louder@

 

Fact? A fact is something more like, Brooks is averaging 20ppg this series..
