3/1 Rockets vs Blazers Game Thread --- Welcome Gerald Wallace..... AGAIN!!

[B-Roy]

Damn, Batum is flopping like a beast.

 

[LJ Ginger]

Aldridge off to another slow start...hmmm not liking this!

 

[tlongII]

Houston is shooting lights out.

 

[EGame]

The only one who even cares out there is Wallace and Batum. Everyone else could gives a rats ass.

 

[VenomXL]

This game looks a lot like the Atlanta game. Getting out worked at both ends. Better get it figured out before we're down 20 again.

They've completely eliminated LA.

 

[craigehlo]

This team is still offensively challenged in a big way. I like that we aren't just jacking up 3's, but this team is simply lost when LaMarcus is denied good post position. The ball movement isn't crisp and there's just too much 1-on-1 offense that isn't getting good looks.

 

[craigehlo]

Andre Miller is throwing some seriously bad passes right now. Calm down Dre.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

Is it just me or has Lamarcus toned it down several notches since BRoy and Crash joined the team?

He's not making quick decisions with the ball in the post. He had one nice game post-all star break, but he's looking like he regressing. Probably has more to do with his minutes played than the new additions.

 

[VenomXL]

Miller is a fucking turnover machine tonight. We're in big trouble.

 

[EGame]

I would like Miller off my team now.

 

[tlongII]

Dre is sucking ass.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Miller is a fucking turnover machine tonight. We're in big trouble.

2 turnovers = "machine?" Hmmm ...

 

[B-Roy]

There's too much 1v1 offense. They don't seem to know what to do if Aldridge isn't on.

 

[EGame]

2 turnovers = "machine?" Hmmm ...

Not really a machine, but they were dreadfully stupid of him. Plus he keeps taking jumpers when he knows full well he sucks ass at them.

 

[LJ Ginger]

When did Lowry learn how to shoot 3's! SMH!

 

[VenomXL]

We're watching the same game I'm sure. He might not have many on the stat sheet, but it sure seems like he's directly contributed to a few more.

 

[craigehlo]

Wow our guards are just brutal.

 

[VenomXL]

We are dead in the water.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Hell even with Aldridge in he's getting no looks.

 

[oldmangrouch]

This team is playing some seriously bad basketball right now.

 

[craigehlo]

I'd rather have LaMarcus take every damn shot than see the garbage jumpers the rest of the team is taking.

 

[VenomXL]

Nothing like getting your ass kicked at home two games in a row during the playoff push.

I'm hoping for some major adjustments at halftime.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'd rather have LaMarcus take every damn shot than see the garbage jumpers the rest of the team is taking.

I'm not really blaming Brandon, because I don't think he's probably even aware that he's doing it (hopefully!) but he doesn't even look at LA in the post.

 

[illmatic99]

Anyone else think LA looks hurt?

 

[B-Roy]

I'd rather have LaMarcus take every damn shot than see the garbage jumpers the rest of the team is taking.

They're denying him everything.

 

[VenomXL]

Anyone else think LA looks hurt?

I don't see it. The double teams are tearing him up though.

 

[EGame]

You know for supposedly having "good defenders" in Matthews, Batum, Wallace, Aldridge, and Camby we are certainly a shitty defensive team.

 

[craigehlo]

They're denying him everything.

I know. I'd rather have him try to get fouled than see the desperation shots the guards are getting.

 

[B-Roy]

I know. I'd rather have him try to get fouled than see the desperation shots the guards are getting.

Well he'll probably end up turning it over...

It's usually not a good idea to force up shots that aren't there.
