GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - DECEMBER 22, 2014 - MONDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), KGW

Holy shit, they called that a flagerant even after reviewing?? They ought to be raped with cattle prods in front of their wives! Stotts should clear the bench in protest.

 

[blue32]

hahaha pathetic display of defense tonight, regardless of the refs. Just terrible.

Nic = absent.... where the fuck is he?

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Ive seen some poor officiating but this might take the cake

 

[BrianFromWA]

Leonar_ thought he missed that.

 

[magnifier661]

Seriously, Stotts needs to bring in the bench and cash this in. The refs won't let us win this one

Agreed im not letting my stars get injured cause houstons pussies hurt after game 6

 

[riverman]

There you go Wes..make this respectable

Ask a specific question...I've been pretty open about what I'm talking about.

Do you think LMA would be guarding Harden or Brewer? Do you think he'd be packing the paint guarding Howard? I think neither, and that's one of the reasons we're getting torched. RoLo (IMO) is a way bigger problem being out tonight than LMA, but only because the backups are shooting the lights out.

Basketball is a team game and when you have a team that shoots the 3 as well as the Rockets our guards have to play them close to the chest allowing the driving room and when they drive there is no one who can protect the rim so its an easy 2. With LA in the game there is at least some semblance of rim protection and might allow us to off the guards a little bit so they can't just drive whenever they want. Right now we are basically choosing to let them drive so we can make the 3 harder to hit.

 

[BrianFromWA]

only down 20.

Rockets fans think dame is a flopper

I'm not really impressed by Lillard at all...take away his flopping and LMA, is he really a top tier PG?

Hahahahhahahahhahahaha!

 

[rasheedfan2005]

If i was lillard id just start falling to floor at random times and hold my face

 

[Rhal]

The refs are really pissing me off but they aren't the reason we are down by so much. Houston wants this game much more then we do and is doing the dirty work to get it.

 

[Eastoff]

What happened with cj?

 

[riverman]

We're just a 21 pt run from taking this game

 

[julius]

We're just a 21 pt run from taking this game

8 three's in a row by Damian, and they're right back in it!

 

[Strenuus]

all in favor of dame taking all the shots to get us back in this game, rep this post.

It's just a classic example of why the rockets have success during the regular season. Refs call games differently in the playoffs, and the rockets can't get away with their bs antics.

 

[magnifier661]

Maybe we can cut it to 10 by the 4th and I can be happy

I get what you're saying, I just disagree in this specific game. Even in last year's series LMA wasn't playing much of the "rim protector" role, because HOU floats their PF so much to the perimeter and RoLo is usually on Howard. It's just my opinion that in tonight's specific game and specifically with the way the backups are playing LMA's absence is not the reason we're down 20. If you used RoLo's name in your quote I'd totally agree. But LMA would not be in the paint anyway, and especially not in transition.

I'm not bagging the guy, I'm saying that this isn't a jock-swing-game. The backups are playing well on offense.

 

[Strenuus]

What happened with cj?

There was a play i saw... one of harden's flops prpbably, and i saw him shake his finger... may have hurt it again.

 

[Eastoff]

Why did cj get ejected?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

all in favor of dame taking all the shots to get us back in this game, rep this post.

Begging for rep fail.

Roy did it. Its not impossible. I just dont think its worth it if refs are just goi g to reward houston for trying to break peoples arms.

lmao i gotta entertain myself during this game somehow.

 

[riverman]

Wes us keeping the team alive

 

[Strenuus]

dude, houston is dirty.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think HOU heard about Strenuus' plan. Dame doubled 28 feet fom the rim

 

[PCmor7]

From these Rockets announcers, you'd think they were winning the seventh game of the NBA Finals.

Seriously, in the big picture, this game means very little. I am both amused an annoyed that they are acting like this is such a big game.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sweet pass by Kaman to Lillard!
