Game 6: Rockets/Blazers game thread

[bobf]

TRavis missed 5 straight shots and it threw off our rhythm

yup, that's exactly what happened.

 

[illmatic99]

We can't win with two players.

Nate, Outlaw, Oden, and Blake have been GARBAGE.
Rudy and Sergio have done NOTHING.

 

[Natebishop3]

If Aldridge wasn't in foul trouble, it would be a different game.

 

[santeesioux]

What were the trade offers for Jefferson and VC again?

 

[The Professional Fan]

No, these fuckers don't deserve to advance. They're dirty. They flop. They've gotten away with bullshit all series. I hate them.

I understand your hate. I feel it. But no - the Lakers are always the most hated, and you know it. If we found a way to win this series, I can guarantee you that when we play the Lakers, you'll hate them more.

 

[BalancedMan]

Honestly just get it within 10 by the 4th and anything is possible.

 

[KingSpeed]

we might miss the entire game. bos/chi going 5 ot

I've missed the whole first half fuck Fuck fuck. I....dammit.

 

[mrkorb]

how does blake step out of bounds while driving to the hoop?

In Houston, much like the Oregon Vortex, the laws of nature, physics, and basketball are different.

 

[KingSpeed]

if we lose this series, it's because of game 1

 

[RoyToy]

The effort being shown by the team is disappointing.

 

[Tince]

Is everyone so sure Nate was an idiot for not starting Rudy sooner? Houston (Artest) appears as if they planned to take advantage of our small lineup. This might be the first time Nate gave in to the pressure, and it's costing us dearly.

 

[BengalDuck]

Blake and Outlaw are real bad. Need upgrades.

 

[VenomXL]

We got beat 31 to 18 in the second. Good lawdy.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

THIS is how my fucking season is going to end? Missing the entire first half because of boston and chicago's shit.

 

[The Professional Fan]

if we lose this series, it's because of game 1

I would agree with this

No dude. I'll root for LA until they get to the WCF or the Finals. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I thought the decision was a bad one honestly. Batum has started the whole season for a reason, don't abandon it now. Even if it's for only 6 minutes, start him. Rudy has been coming off the bench all season, don't disrupt that.

Nate thinks too much.

 

[retroblazers]

if we lose this series, it's because of game 1

if we lose the series it's because of outlaw, blake, nate, oden, and anybody else that didn't bother showing up.

What are you talking about? We were great in the first quarter. The second quarter, when Nate put in Outlaw, Sergio, and Oden, was when we tanked.

 

[Tince]

What are you talking about? You don't think they're trying? Our energy was great in the first quarter. However, we're fronting Yao with a small 3 guard starting lineup, and that takes a lot out of a team. There is no way this club isn't trying, so I hope you're not implying that.

than Houston should be your friend next round

 

[Tince]

and game 3, 4, and 6.

They're trying I'm sure, but they're being badly outplayed right now.

 

[Tince]

I'm talking about what that left us with on the bench. I'm talking about how it gave Houston another option on offense. I'm talking about Rudy not scoring a single point.

 

[KingSpeed]

Noah is better than Oden. By a mile.

 

[TripTango]

If we lose the series, it's because Houston has shown more poise and desire, particularly in game 1. I've got no regrets, whatever happens tonight.

That being said, GO BIG 2ND HALF COMEBACK!

 

[KingSpeed]

if we lose the series it's because of outlaw, blake, nate, oden, and anybody else that didn't bother showing up.

Oden hasn't shown up all season. And he said his knee was strong when he started the season. Stronger than the other knee, he said. So what are the excuses? Wasn't he supposed to get better as the season went on?

 

[TripTango]

Noah is better than Oden. By a mile.

Your flip-flopping on this issue makes my head spin. Can you at least land somewhere in the middle, like the rest of us?

 

[santeesioux]

Be totally honest, are we still in this?
