ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 4/21/2009 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

man im hyped up for this game! ....going to be tough game at da rose garden, portland will make adjustments maybe some fronting on yao with a quicker player, (if they do that rockets have to rotate and MOVE THE BALL side to side) tough game tonight for rockets cuz portland win see this game as a must win. if rockets can steal this one ...it could very well be a sweep.

 

easy win again 108-89
Yao 30+
Portland struggles with no clue how to handle Rockets

 

AGGGGHHHHHH! The game must start now...

I live in Vancouver and the Canucks are playing tonight but I don't really give a crap. Rockets all the way for me.

 

Them baby seal clubbers are back in RIP city, baby!

 

roy is gonna have a huge night because there gonna pick and roll with yao's man. But battier in the corner will kill them. rockets win by 5 in the last minutes.

 

I hate being the downer as much as the next guy, but this is Portland's home court and it's become a virtual must-win for them. I still like us to finish them in six or less, but tonight? 99-92, Blazers.

 

Sad. Because this game is on NBAtv and I have to watch a crappy quality video stream online, I'm not very excited about this game.

Can't wait till our first home game.

go Rockets.

 

I'm glad its on My20..that way I can watch it in HD.




GO ROCKETS!!!!!

Bring the pain

Im in Mexico City right now...

Is there a way to way this game through streaming video?

 

Definitely want to see what Nate comes up with, his focus has to be stopping Yao early in the game. I think he'll front with Pryzbilla and not Aldridge and double occasionally if there is a defender in the area. Lets see what RA comes up with to counter the fronting defense, he hasn't come up with a consistent strategy to make teams pay. Fronting has been effective in taking the Rox out of most games.

 

you can also use IE to view Rockets game on CCTV5, very good quality!

Rockets win, then get the brooms out because we are sweeping.

 

WIN GAME2 and swat 4-0
GO ROCKETS

 

I just don't have a good feeling about this game. Somebody psych me up! The Blazers' backs are against the wall, and they are going to throw the kitchen sink at the Rockets. If they get any momentum our guys could be in trouble. I want this one bad, but I am afraid our guys are going to let up a bit. I hope I am wrong.

 

Oh, boy the Blazers and their fans are going to be MEAN. Yao is going to wilt with 5 fouls in the early 4th, 12 first half points, and 0 2nd half points. Portland is going to hand us a mini-whipping, run away with with by a 11 point margin. A does of reality, folks, AB is going to come back to down his humble earth, and Aldridge is going to Luis's lunch. Artest continues to be semi-crazy, two technicals in late 4th when we still have a fighting chance, and he doesn't know he is already ejected.

What do you expect, the Blazers just fold and hand it to us? Sure loss 110 Blazers - 99 Rox.

 

What if your wrong? I vote you don't post anymore.

 

now that they've been beaten, as in 'serious beatdown,' we'll see how much portland really wants this...

i say we sweep!

let's see what this team is really made of! GO ROCKETS!

 

Rockets have to just play like they really lost the last game and are now hungry and desperate for a win.

 

How many of you honestly feel we can win this game?? It seems like they are due a game, but I still don't know.

 

They got their game when Roy threw up that miracle 3.

We win by 10.
