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

[Darkwebs]

We need an outrageous 4th quarter to win this.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

this is a good time for a 15 point comeback methinks

 

[illmatic99]

I hate Mo right now. Dame is in his aggressive mode and can score on Lin at will. Give him the ball and get out of the fucking way.

 

[Sinobas]

They'd be right in this if they hadn't squandered so many layups. (Mo Williams). And Portland shouldn't hack-an-anybody with the way they rebound free throws.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Houston still a ridiculous 63% from 3.

30% over their average on the season.

 

[julius]

I hope this isn't how they come out against OKC. Otherwise it's an ass whooping.

 

[Strenuus]

I hate Mo right now. Dame is in his aggressive mode and can score on Lin at will. Give him the ball and get out of the fucking way.

Him and Batum have been the main reason we have done terrible. That, and our defense.

I wish someone would tell Mo that it's ok to pass out to the open man when he drives, he doesn't have to shoot it every time.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Two missed layups by Mo just kills momentum.

 

[Strenuus]

Just give it to Lillard and get the fuck out of the way


- Stotts in the timeout

 

[Strenuus]

I wish someone would tell Mo that it's ok to pass out to the open man when he drives, he doesn't have to shoot it every time.

I think he has flashbacks of Lebron stealing all his glory.

 

[LuckyShot]

We let Houston gain way too much confidence. Now every shitty shot they throw up goes in when they need it.

 

[Natebishop3]

I think someone should tell Nic that Parsons is showing him how to play like an All-Star.

 

[Natebishop3]

If that's going to go in for Motiejunas...... I just don't know.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Him and Batum have been the main reason we have done terrible. That, and our defense.

We've shot 45% for the game. We have 91 points after 3. It's all the defense.

that and Houston hitting everything, like that crappy looking hook shot.

 

[MarAzul]

Wow! It looks like 3 pt shooting did the Blazers in tonight.

 

[BrianFromWA]

3-11 outside paint (27%)
7-20 from 3 (35%)
25-46 in paint (54%)
14-18 FT
Totals: 35-77 (45%)

 

[Strenuus]

LA this is not the time to do fade a ways... attack the paint or give it to Dame.

 

[TBpup]

Mo isn't bad at everything. He is leading the Blazers in lowest +/- right now with -15.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Blazers need to shut McHale's face off.

 

[KingSpeed]

This is hard to watch. We're gonna lose by 30

 

[Sinobas]

At some point we should put in the bench and save the starters for tommorrow.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Be mad at MO all you want but he is not the reason we are loosing.

 

[RoyToy]

Fucking Stotts ruined the momentum when he hacked Dwight Howard. Fucking stupid.

This game is a joke.

 

[TBpup]

At some point we should put in the bench and save the starters for tommorrow.

Just what I was thinking. Go 'Pop' and strategically coach for tomorrow.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice little dish by CJ to LMA to draw the foul

 

[BrianFromWA]

Wes, please don't shoot that contested turnaround into a double-team. I hate it when LMA does it, and he's better at it than you are.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

I have watched one play and can tell these guys are tired. LA more specifically. So what are they going to do tomorrow night?

 

[Natebishop3]

Can't really blame the refs here. It's pretty comparable for both teams.

20 FTA for them.

20 FTA for us.

19 fouls on us.

17 fouls on them.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

BS!
