Blazers @ Rockets 1/14/2012 Game Thread

[Darkwebs]

We gotta crash the boards, dammit

 

[magnifier661]

Yes! Batum, Wes, Crash and Aldridge

 

[VenomXL]

I like this lineup. We're not rebounding anyways, might as well go for offense.

 

[magnifier661]

Okay Aldridge starting to heat up

 

[jlprk]

yuyuza gonna start that Fire Nate thread?

I hope so. I was thinking I'd have to offer you guys money to join me against McMillan.

Kevin McHale is the guy I kept advocating last season when people would natter, "I don't see anyone better out there."

 

[magnifier661]

LEAD! Yes

 

[VenomXL]

Nice one LA.

 

[VenomXL]

Felton is grimacing.

 

[magnifier661]

Shot by Crawful

 

[Darkwebs]

We've been making ground ever since the Rockets' starting bigs went out with foul trouble

 

[magnifier661]

I got an idea. Tell crawford to not shoot it until late in the 3rd and 4th. Seems like he can't do shit up until then.

 

[VenomXL]

Anyone know what's going on with Felton? Rockets broadcast didn't even notice.

Was like the Spurs game. Unfortunately we were on the wrong end of that stick.

To be fair, it's hard to pinpoint him for terrible outside shooting tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

The refs are awful for the Rockets. First time in a long time I'm really questioning the calls going our way.

 

[magnifier661]

To be fair, it's hard to pinpoint him for terrible outside shooting tonight.

you can when he's been doing it every game.

 

[illmatic99]

Crawful has never made more than one pass in a possession.

Seriously. Watch him play. Aldridge was WIDE OPEN after giving it to him.

 

[VenomXL]

LOL, that fastbreak was pitiful.

 

[VenomXL]

Crawford gave up a wide open layup, they're clearly afraid of attempting them now.

 

[illmatic99]

Nolan can't be worse than this.

 

[VenomXL]

Fuck me, here comes a nice big deficit.

 

[VenomXL]

How can that be Nic's first shot in the second half. HOW?

 

[VenomXL]

No one is capable of staying in front of Lowry.

 

[illmatic99]

Please put Batum on Lowry and send Crawful back to ATL.

 

[B-Roy]

No one is capable of staying in front of Lowry.

Crawford is just making stupid decisions.

Double Lowry on the catch?

 

[DUB]

We need a Rhino inspired run.

 

[VenomXL]

We have almost all of their bigs in foul trouble and can't take advantage...

 

[DUB]

We need to ride Batum and Smith for the rest of the game.

 

[VenomXL]

Dodged a bullet there.

 

[B-Roy]

Matthews has been crap too.
