GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - 1/20/2014, MONDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), TNT

[Darkwebs]

CJ played some nice D there on Harden.

 

[BrianFromWA]

guh, I don't even get to enjoy garbage time sightings.

 

[Sinobas]

When Portland gives up offensive rebounds it's usually like 4-5 in a row.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

TNT will never make a mistake like showing our game again

 

[illmatic99]

Dear, TNT. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DECIDE TO BROADCAST OUR GAME

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Nice try team .

Quick question, if you were tired tonight, what the hell are you going to do tomorrow night against a more potent offense?

 

[Strenuus]

2-1 in the texas triangle... better than I thought it was gonna be.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Houston leaves harden in. Injure him.

 

[Sinobas]

To which then Mo doesn't pass to him.

No fucking doubt! Lillard is mostly invisible when he's on the court playing SG with Mo. I thought the Maynor/Lillard combo worked a lot better.

 

[illmatic99]

Why is Harden still in this game? Can we get some karma here?

 

[Natebishop3]

How many teams will shoot 80% from three for a half? It's just absurd. We had a defensive strategy tonight and the Rockets just obliterated it. We never really recovered.

 

[MARIS61]

Mchale clearly has no confidence in his bench.

Stats.

Beat them Just like we did coming off the New Orleans loss?

Seriously.... Meyers needs to roll onto his leg.

 

[RoyToy]

Terrence Jones didn't even play

The Rockets know they own us. Don't want to see them in the playoffs.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Of course Houston shoots like shit now. smh oh well

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Mchale clearly has no confidence in his bench.

You saw that too? lol

 

[VenomXL]

On to the next one.

 

[MARIS61]

The good news is Parsons is on my Yahoo Fantasy team.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Mo makes me cringe.

Parsons made Nic his bitch.

LMA owns Houston.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers keep Houston under 130 points by holding them to 20 in the 4th.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Takes a season high from Houston and a poor shooting night from Portland to win. I can live with that.

 

[Natebishop3]

Mo makes me cringe.

Parsons made Nic his bitch.

LMA owns Houston.

Dame got some decent respect from the refs too.

8 FTA for the game. That's pretty decent against these floppers.

 

[santeesioux]

So, how obvious is it that they're going to be stuck playing either Phoenix or this team in the first round of the playoffs?

 

[RoyToy]

Durant is going to murder Nic tomorrow

 

[Darkwebs]

Durant is going to murder Nic tomorrow

Maybe Nic was saving it for Durant tomorrow.

 

[Strenuus]

Houston 52 % from the field, 48% from 3... that's just stupid.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Durant is going to murder Nic tomorrow

Like last time? LOL.

With 41 games left, I'd say it's not obvious at all.
