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

OMG calm down..... they're shooting the lights out right now. It won't last. We hung on okay. Game is far from over.

Ya I know. A loss wouldn't be the end of the world either. Team just looks so flat footed. I hate that this is on TNT. My frustration is boiling over with the fact that I can't watch this shit on LP after paying for it and I have to watch this broke ass stream with x's all over the screen

 

[Sinobas]

OUr only chance to win this game is to catch fire from 3.

 

[TBpup]

They took away 2 points. Only down 9.

Nice! That takes the Rockets shooting down to 73%.

 

[LuckyShot]

If we can just hold them to an average of about 25/quarter for the rest of the game, we have a chance.

Recall that Houston put up 73 in the first half against OKC just 4 days ago, and finished with 92 for the game. They are prone to prolonged dry spells.

I wouldn't count on that again. OKC just got lucky as hell. We don't tend to get lucky. Ever.

I think Mo does that falling down dribble to show off.

You can click those away.... I always do.

 

[Natebishop3]

Does Howard ever come out?

 

[Natebishop3]

I think Terry might put a shock collar on TRob. He would have been shocking the shit out of him for bringing the ball up the floor there.

Ya they don't appear on full screen. Just can't handle the distortion on full screen.

hah I sound so spoiled right now

 

[Natebishop3]

That was really good defense there. Horrible call.

I'm not counting on them being terrible. Just not an all-star team. Even if they score in the 110's, I think we have a chance.

If Matthews can ever make a shot, that is...

 

[TBpup]

Freeland's 3rd foul....that didn't last long. Stott's pondering putting in Meyers.

 

[illmatic99]

How was that a foul

 

[Natebishop3]

And of course Dwight makes all his free throws against us. For some reason we inspire him to shoot well from the stripe.

 

[BrianFromWA]

So between the dude with a broken hand playing his first game in a month, the PF startinghis first game and their normal 10th man, they're 4-4 from 3.

Not.
Swayed.

 

[Strenuus]

*sigh*

 

[Strenuus]

The refs have come off the houston bench...

 

[Natebishop3]

This is not our night. Not at all.

5-6 now.

 

[Strenuus]

Fuck. We lost. Meyers is in.

 

[Natebishop3]

And here comes the bringer of death.

 

[julius]

why couldn't the Dallas or San Antonio game been on national TV?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Leonard comes in, singing "Here I come to wreck the day!!!"

 

[BrianFromWA]

See, now Beverley misses, and Casspi rolls one in off 5 bounces.

Not Swayed. Still.

But here comes Lillard and Leonard. 3 point shooters galore!

 

[TBpup]

Down 15, the Blazers went to Meyers Leonard. Wonder what they were hoping for? ~The Far Side

 

[Strenuus]

Yeah. Fuck you Montiejunos.

Freeland has 3.

 

[Natebishop3]

Someone has to start hitting shots.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Casspi as the biggest guy out there? Abuse them in the post!! Get some foul trouble on their bigs!!

 

[Strenuus]

Nice T-Rob.
