ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 4/25/2014 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

Finally finally its not Harden jacking up a shot to lose....thank you God for hearing my prayers to have someone else but Harden shoot the last shot in OT.

 

I will watch this till my eyes are red. :grin: :grin:

 

I agree...my stomach gets in knots watching Harden ISO as the clock runs down...knowing he could kick it out with 2 seconds or fire up a shot (sometimes in a panic mode). However, all is right tonight. We could have easily folded but didn't. Sure would like to see us get some calls for a change.

 

who is this troy danies anyway?

 

Great win, but man Parsons is such a disappointment

 

I think the Rockets are going to win the next game. Harden is heating up. Parsons can't play worse. Bev looks healthy. Lin avoided legendary "goat status," and Daniels might be legit as our Mike Miller. Plus Howard and Asik did well containing LMA. I say we tie it up on Sunday and bring the series to Houston.

 

the final 11 seconds play time saved Mchale's job. at least for now.

 

Great win by the Rockets!

Harden had a lot of points, but he still hasn't had one of his best games, so that's a good thing for us come next game. Hopefully he will finally have a great game and we win big next game.

That missed layup by Jeremy was a bad miss, but two things: 1) he was fouled 2) there were still 41 plus seconds left, so for those saying that he should have run down the clock, that would not have necessarily produced a better shot. It was a great drive, he just missed it, although he got fouled.

The transition Defense continues to be the problem and that was what happened after that layup miss.

TROY "FREAKING 3 PT KING" DANIELS! Thank you sir. We needed that! (great find and assist by Lin, for those who were hating on him for missing the layup)

 

Only Lin could be the WOAT and GOAT in the same game... thank you TR3Y DANIELSSSS MY BOY WHEEWWWW

 

I am glad Harden calmed Lin down after the slip and all of them fought to the end!

 

Portland plays help D and is able to touch out player. We don't play help D and can't breathe on theirs

 

it's really the definition of double-standard

one could say if Jharden actually shoots 40%, rockets would be up 3-0. it's really easy to ignore his near all-time poor shooting performance and nit-pick at the other players

Lin played a great game even with those two very costly mistakes: missing a layup with a lot of time on the clock, and the turnover in OT. the missed 3 was fine - not everyone makes it. it was a good shot

 

Couldn't he go with Cisco or someone else. Hmm I rest my case.

 

Lin purposely missed that layup at the end of regulation so he can pad his stats in OT and shorten our lifespan lol!!!

 

For all you that blames Lin for the missed layup at the regulation. That was the right call. Why do you think McHale left him in? He had a high chance to close that game and he took the chance. Although, he missed, I wanna see him do it over and over again. So stop laying off the hate. End *Rant*

 

That is some dumb luck by McHale. We shouldn't have even had to be in that situation.

 

Great win. It was hard to watch due to being so nervous.

 

Hey guys, not to water down the credit for Troy Daniels but... Right before the play broke down, I angrily knocked over my Jeremy Lin bobblehead. I think that won us the game.

 

Eh, you can do that if if any other player makes a shot they missed or pulled it out for a bit during the entire game then it IS OVER !!
