Game Thread GAME# 79: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - APRIL 5, 2018 - THURSDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

I haven't watched Wade Baldwin play much, but his body language reminds me of James "Hollywood" Robinson, just needs the bubble gum.

I remember that guy. He was awesome.

 

[Rhal]

Just turned on the game, looks like we forgot how to defend the 3 again.

 

[VenomXL]

Wow Harden. You hit a wide open straight away three. You should definitely celebrate more.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Could we not leave their best player open for three.

Touch him with your pinky and you get a foul. It's impossible to guard him.

We have absolutely 0 chance at winning this game. No matter how close we get, Houston will just step on the gas and we won't be able to score against them or defend them. They have 60-some wins for a reason.

 

[SIeepwalker]

We need to give all of Pat's minutes to Wade

You'll see...

It's crazy how much worse our defense looks without Dame.. He's definitely improved on that end, especially at running guys off the 3pt line and not getting caught out of position.

 

[Lukee]

Some really dumb plays

 

[tykendo]

Houston's such a lucky team. Playing against us without our star player. Bunch of chumps, this win shouldn't even count for them.

The thing is, their 2nd and 3rd teamers don't miss when open. I actually like the Blazers starting 5 better, but the Blazers depth is where the Rockets are head and shoulders above. C"MON CJ, play like the player we think you are.

 

[VenomXL]

Ok Wade. I see you.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wade is good.

 

[BonesJones]

You'll see...

Yeah, I'll see that we have 0 chance.

You can be optimistic and realistic at the same time King... for example:

"I think we still have a shot to win this game, we need to do this, this, and this. It's gonna be tought but we haven't played well and if we can fix some things we might be able to make a run"..

Instead, it's: "Make some adjustments and we win this game easily"...

 

[kingslayer]

lmfao Wade. He ain't scared.

 

[KingSpeed]

We got this

 

[BonesJones]

Wade is good.

Dude should take Pat's minutes.

 

[Rhal]

Our last 4 losses one thing has stood out more then any other stat and thats our opponents have outshot us from 3 by a HUGE margin in those losses.

 

[VenomXL]

Uh oh.

 

[kjironman1]

Harden groin shot?

 

[BonesJones]

Wtf ref...

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah, I'll see that we have 0 chance.

Dude. I've seen everything in this league to know that we can ABSOLUTELY win this game. Y'all quitting too soon. Our guys aren't though.

 

[Rhal]

Baldwin has been amazing for us when he gets time.

 

[Five Second Violation]

LOL, Baldwin owning Harden.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Wade Baldwin show!

 

[SIeepwalker]

I love Wade so fucking much

 

[tykendo]

WADEEEEEEEEEE! Playin' that punk CHIA.

 

[BonesJones]

BALDWIN NEEDS TO BE IN THE ROTATION.

 

[kjironman1]

Yep. Got hit in the Willy.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Baldwin putting James in his place. I like it. Fuck you Harden.
