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

[DDolla]

Wade looks like BRoy and plays defense like Wes Matthews. We got a hybrid player folks.

 

[Chris Craig]

Would also like to say.
The last play for the shot CJ got.
That was one of the worst passes you can throw in a catch and shoot situation.
Pat needs to hit the shooter so he can just go up with it.
Instead Pat threw the pass towards CJ's right ear meaning CJ couldn't get into a proper shooting motion.

A little more on that shot and it would have gone in

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Why the fuck did Memphis just let Baldwin go?

He was a total headcase. He's admitted his problems and face them like a man. They were right to let go of him. We were right to pick him up!

 

[KingSpeed]

PapaG only played 3 minutes and was a +15.

One of the only games this year I watched in tv. That 6 min+ stunt in the fourth of no scoring did it for the game.

That Harden foul at the end? "BALl DON'T LIE!"

 

[riverman]

ooooohhhh, I see. Don't like Trump = cracks about Fox news and Orange in a basketball thread

your avatar.....you need to own it if you use it in a basketball forum eh?

 

[Chris Craig]

Some observations:
1) We started the game COLD.
2) Wade Baldwin and Nurk were our 2 best players, CJ was 3rd.
3) Chris Paul traveled on the supposed game winner.
4) Harden can't dribble with his right hand without palming the ball.
Not a problem for him, the refs don't call it.

Seriously, no hyperbole, we need to lock Baldwin up into a long term contract.

You gotta beat the refs too. We almost did. Also gotta make our free throws...

Exactly what I said. Oh well. I agree with the others, should of set up the last play for one of the scrubs to win it!

If your feelings get hurt by a fucking avatar, then you deserve ridicule. And I am NOT apologizing for that.

He honestly looked like Avery Bradley out there on defense.

 

[H.C.]

Yup.
But lets be real.
If the play was to get the ball to the side of a shooters head so he could shoot it. The play would've been ran for Aminu. Not CJ.

My favorite clutchfans post

"Wade Baldwin looked crushed at the end there. NBA 2K create-a-player looking ass mother****er."

Awwwww he's already got himself some haters. And they're Houston fans. How cute.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Makes me wonder why Coach Genius hasn't used him hardly at all this season.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

7-25 0FTA 6TO

you'll rarely see a more disgusting statline

Well, he does want to be like Kobe...

 

[LuckyShot]

PapaG only played 3 minutes and was a +15.

2 points, 2 steals, 1 rebound, and 1 Rockets player knocked the fuck out.

 

[tykendo]

Pull your huggies back up and calm down. Jesus man.

ooooohhhh, I see. Don't like Trump = cracks about Fox news and Orange in a basketball thread.

Like I said....pull up your huggies.

Then get rid of that hideous picture of America's biggest buffoon. Or put something in his mouth.

You're proving my point. Grow up.

My only possible defense is that maybe he looks bad in practice but he's a total gamer. Dunno, he seems to have a lot of tools. Jump shot does look a bit slow and wonky, but he's made them so far in what limited sample we have.

Good stuff from that weak fan base. They don't even fill it up every game.

If what I'm hearing is true about him being a headcase, then there's a possibility that he may have been in the dog house about something.

They have more fans in China than in the US.

 

[H.C.]

Can we keep this about basketball and not politics.
You can turn avatars off if it really bothers you.

If you can't respect that, then would you please kindly sod off.

 

[LuckyShot]

Too bad Utah won't drop a couple of games to lesser competition like we did.

 

[tykendo]

Sorry I went a little Trump there.

Yeah were back within 10 at 85-75, the rockets were cold as ice and the Blazers couldn't buy a basket

 

[Jade Falcon]

That would explain why their uniforms looked like a Chinese menu last season. Or is it this season as well?

Signatures too. Not that I've seen anyone complain about them, but I got annoyed at the extra clutter and removed them a long time ago. Much easier on the eyes.

Yes.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Well, don't go Liberal, and you won't have a problem.

Glad I could help.

 

[Magoo]

Not sure if this was brought up for the playoffs. Do I see Portland beating Houston in a 7 game? No

Do I see luck on our side? Yes


We'll fuck um up and go to the western conference finals!
