GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - MARCH 9TH, 2014 - SUNDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), KGW

[B-Roy]

Damian is thinking too much. Needs to just play.

 

[DamianLillard#0]

Harden may be the most unlikable "star" to me... god he annoys me.

he looks like moron

 

[Strenuus]

ugh. Can't inbound... C'mon Batum.

Damian is thinking too much. Needs to just play.

He's been this way ever since the return of LA. And I don't know if it's just me but the frowns on the teams face since his return.

 

[julius]

Not to get ahead of ourselves (since I hate that), I hope the BLazers come out strong in the 3rd. It used to be their quarter earlier this year, but I'm not so sure they make the adjustments they need to anymore.

 

[LuckyShot]

Houston thinks they should get FTs every time they miss a contested shot.

 

[Strenuus]

hahaha T'ed up.

But fuckin A that was a horrible inbounds... luckily we got the points back.

 

[B-Roy]

He's been this way ever since the return of LA. And I don't know if it's just me but the frowns on the teams face since his return.

Agreed. He's hesitating on shooting the ball and doesn't know when to pass. Needs to play within the flow of the game.

Houston thinks they should get FTs every time they miss a contested shot.

It actually looks like Lin knocked Wes out of the way more.... but yeah, they are acting like the Thunder. Harden rubbed off on them to become a bunch of crybabies.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nic telegraphs his passes too damn much. Every time he makes one of his patented absurd passes to a defender, you can see them coming like 2 steps before he throws them.

The announcers are sooooooooo bad. Holy cow.

 

[julius]

Man McHale walks with a hitch in his giddy up. The abuse these guys do to their bodies (yes, I know they, mostly, get paid handsomely) is something else.

I remember as a kid (uh oh, I'm going jlprk here) playing basketball with the old Chuck Taylors, and I KNOW how little cushion those pieces of shit had.

The Houston announcers said Lin was "hammered" by Wes.

 

[Strenuus]

How many fucking shows do we need about the Blazers? What the hell else can be talked about in the last show that the other 3 haven't covered?

I think the whole team needs better attention detail in discipline in this area. And not just shrug it off with smile or grin when it happens. Irritating.

 

[LuckyShot]

The announcers are sooooooooo bad. Holy cow.

I wish I was exaggerating, but literally every contested shot they think should be called a foul so far. Make or miss.

Ok maybe I'm slightly exaggerating, but they certainly haven't given any credit to Portland defense.

 

[Strenuus]

Looking at that Batum dunk... I see that Houston on fast break is going to the wings, leaving the middle open... might be smart to shake it up a bit and crash the rim.

 

[KingSpeed]

Mo having an outstanding game. 10 points, 50% shooting, 5 assists, 0 turnovers.

Mo having an outstanding game. 10 points, 50% shooting, 5 assists, 0 turnovers.

Yeah, looks pretty good tonight.

On the other hand, where was the TRob we saw the other night. This what I mean about him going under the radar.

we have a second half

 

[OneLifeToLive]

we have a second half

you're a positive one, ain't ya?

 

[Strenuus]

Agggh I want to win this game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Indiana in complete freefall

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Agggh I want to win this game.

You and me both. Portland needs to start showing signs that they stand a chance in the playoffs. They still have a month or so left.

 

[LuckyShot]

I still have a bad feeling about this game, but I'm ecstatic that we are ahead. I was fearful of a complete collapse and getting blown out.

 

[DamianLillard#0]

you're a positive one, ain't ya?

yeah positiv thinking are big.. that gives you good moral and to make right decisions

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah, looks pretty good tonight.

On the other hand, where was the TRob we saw the other night. This what I mean about him going under the radar.

He didn't get enough minutes to find a rhythm.

Agggh I want to win this game.

We have to.

 

[Strenuus]

Indiana in complete freefall

They already have a playoff spot, so I guess they are content.

I was really afraid of it too.

They are a good team. But they lack leadership or that somone to grab them by the horns if you will.

They won't get by Miami.
