Game Thread GAME# 58: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 25, 2016 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), TNT

[LuckyShot]

Dame's been short all night after his first few shots.

Frustration

 

[BonesJones]

Crabbe is getting lit the fuck up.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Sigh

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Frustration

 

[KingSpeed]

You guys, we can't win em all. We'll bounce back next game.

 

[BonesJones]

This one is on stotts. They made adjustments and we just rolled the duck over.

Yup.

 

[julius]

losing a 21 point lead at home (or 19 whatever it was), is not good.

Why couldn't the Golden State gave have been on national TV instead?

 

[Strenuus]

2 stops, 2 buckets...

 

[illmatic99]

We can't lose this. Huge momentum killer if we lose this way

 

[kingslayer]

This always happens whenever the rest of the country catches on to the hype lol

 

[Jade Falcon]

Oh here comes "Desperate Stotts": play Hack a Howard. Don't bother actually drawing up plays and schemes, huh?

 

[Sinobas]

Blazers have scored 5 points in the 4th quarter

 

[adrenalize74]

Playing stupid right now

 

[Strenuus]

You guys, we can't win em all. We'll bounce back next game.

It's not over yet, friend.

Remember, we were down 10 with 1:30 left... and they have a couple "westbrook" type mental guys on their team.

 

[B-Roy]

This is the Detroit game all over again.

 

[KingSpeed]

Can't. Win. Them. All.

He missed both free throws.

This is true, but you can't excuse blowing a 21 point third quarter lead at home when you are in a battle for the playoffs.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Three minutes is a long time. Need to find something to go to though. Ariza, Brewer, and Terry are being allowed to play CJ and Dame closely need to use their aggression against them.

 

[TBpup]

Houston's only chance in this game was for Harden to get red-hot. Stotts' abject refusal to help, hedge or double-team let him get an insane rhythm. Similar to the Detroit 4th quarter meltdown.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I skipped watching American Idol for this! :MARIS61:

 

[EGame]

It's not over yet, friend.

Remember, we were down 10 with 1:30 left... and they have a couple "westbrook" type mental guys on their team.

What about this offensive play screams comeback to you? Unless Dame chucks up deep 3s and they somehow go in, it is over.

 

[Strenuus]

I'm holding on to hope... but if we lose, I said it earlier "We can lose the national attention much quicker than it took to get it."


This loss would do that.

But, it's not over!! GO BLAZERS!

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame is just sleep walking. He has been all game. I don't get it.

 

[illmatic99]

20 to 5 this quarter.

57 to 34 this half

 

[illmatic99]

Ariza got to him

 

[TBpup]

Can't. Win. Them. All.

When you have a 21 point lead in the 3rd, you should. Huge meltdown so far.

 

[Jade Falcon]

He missed both free throws.

Don't tell me you actually think Hack a Howard is a sound strategy to play when we're behind?

 

[BonesJones]

I still trust Stotts more with PT than the people on this board... defense however is a different story.

 

[Strenuus]

What about this offensive play screams comeback to you? Unless Dame chucks up deep 3s and they somehow go in, it is over.

Honestly? Hope.
