Game 6: Rockets/Blazers game thread

[BalancedMan]

who believes we'll still win?

I don't believe we will win....nor that it's likely. But I think that it's still beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

[Samuel]

let me hear some belief!

[Tince]

I would not trade Greg.

For anyone.

Ron Artest, is that you?

 

[TripTango]

Yo Blazer fans -- don't get down, dammit! We've got a great team of young guys and reasonable contracts. We got ambushed in game 1, but otherwise held serve at home. There is no reason to be angry here. Disappointed, sure, but not angry.

P.S. Comparisons between Oden and Noah in these two series, against these two opponents, are patently absurd.

 

[BalancedMan]

KP has a team option?

Actually yeah, we can TO out of Blake and Outlaw if we want and have more cap space.

 

[MARIS61]

Horrible pass by Roy

 

[RoyToy]

Christ Outlaw, that is piss poor defense.

Portland has better pieces than pretty much everyone in the league.

That said there are pieces they need to cut loose, and can frankly afford to. This will be an interesting season for KP, because he has to make decisions that will affect the team in the short term as well.

 

[Minstrel]

KP has a team option?

Pritchard has a team option on Outlaw, if that's what you meant.

I'm quite sure it'll be exercised.

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't think a bad series means Outlaw will be traded. Outlaw is killing Portland tonight, but there's plenty of people to blame for this likely loss.

He's done this shit off and on all season Minstrel. I'm just glad people are finally seeing it when it matters. When it really counts. You can't have people like Travis Outlaw on your team when you're in the playoffs. Losing a game can cost you the series, and players like Outlaw are the type of guys who cost you games.

Hey, I was clearly invoking The Big Lebowski. Obviously you're not a golfer...

 

[KingSpeed]

everyone's down on outlaw, but where's rudy? where's any of our depth??? we have the two best players in the series, but our depth is non existent

 

[Samuel]

Pritchard has a team option on Outlaw, if that's what you meant.

What else could I have meant?

 

[KingSpeed]

Oden clumsily gives the ball to the Rockets.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oden misses a dunk

 

[Wheels]

Hank is gonna love that Dunk attempt

 

[illmatic99]

Sigh. Oden.

 

[Samuel]

Man, Aldridge is dealing.

 

[Freshtown]

I dont even wanna watch anymore. I'm already resigned to our fate.

 

[VenomXL]

Really sucks for our season to end like this.

 

[Penitentiary Face]

where's the whiskey? this hurts.

 

[talman]

Way to show up guys...sheesh this is pathetic.

 

[RoyToy]

At least it won't be another close loss. I'll take this one pretty easier than games 3 and 4.

 

[illmatic99]

Come on. At least make this respectable.

 

[KingSpeed]

We have to do to Houston what L.A. did to us in Game 7 in 2000. Comeback!!!

 

[RoyToy]

Come on. At least make this respectable.

Damage is already done. You can see it in the players faces. Pretty sad that they gave up in the 2nd quarter.

 

[KingSpeed]

Really sucks for our season to end like this.

That comes with the territory of making the playoffs. Unless you win it all, your season ends with a horribly depressing loss.

 

[Crimson the Cat]

there's another quarter guys. We may not win but they will not go down without fighting.

 

[VenomXL]

I'm just going to try and enjoy this final quarter as much as I can. This will be the last game for quite a while. Next season seems so far away.

 

[KingSpeed]

we had a 15-0 run in the 4th quarter in Game 5!
