GAME THREAD: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS 04.05.13 - 7:30 PM (PST) - ESPN

Not watching live, but it appears Hardin is showing up Matthews and Wesley is getting a bit perturbed. I saw a T on him.

The T was for disagreeing with a foul call. On the reply, there didn't appear to be much contact from Wesley on Harden. But Harden is a superstar now, so he's gonna get calls

 

[Darkwebs]

Crazy to think of just how hot Houston is from the floor, and they're only up 2-5 points.

Thank god for Aldridge neutralizing some of Houston's heat.

Thank god for Aldridge neutralizing some of Houston's heat.

just imagine if this team played defense.

 

[Darkwebs]

just imagine if this team played defense.

If only

 

[jlprk]

Well, I'll admit that Aldridge had a somewhat decent little quarter.

 

[ABM]

Well, I'll admit that Aldridge had a somewhat decent little quarter.

He still sucks compared to Rasheed.

 

[Darkwebs]

Claver playing some D. What a nice fundamental block!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I could have done without seeing Pavlovic for the rest of the season.

 

[Darkwebs]

Pav is pulling a Babbit

 

[julius]

or rebound...

 

[julius]

Does anyone know why Harden has the beard? Is it religious?

 

[Darkwebs]

Get a hand in their face. SMH

 

[julius]

So, that 2-5 point deficit sure lasted long.

 

[Rhal]

That was awesome by Claver.

 

[Darkwebs]

Wow!! Claver with an Iceman finger roll! And-one!

 

[Darkwebs]

Rockets getting into the paint at will. So we can't guard the 3 nor the rim. Cool

 

[Darkwebs]

This is embarassing D, dude

 

[julius]

Wow. The Blazers are putting on defense clinic.

A clinic on how to NOT play defense I mean.

 

[Rhal]

I just caught up on this thread. Gotta love a team coming in and complaining about injuries to Blazer fans.

 

[Rhal]

Our defense is looking a lot like the Thunders as their first year as OKC... which is not a good thing.

 

[Rhal]

You gotta finish when you have such good position and a defender not on you but running at you :/

 

[Rhal]

Looked like a clean swipe to knock the ball off of that russian (can't remember his name) and out of bounds.

 

[mgb]

Can't believe no one can get in the way in the paint.

 

[magnifier661]

Dang how down would we've been without Aldridge?

 

[Rhal]

16-6 in FT's, would like to see us actively trying to get to the line tonight.

 

[Darkwebs]

I'm so glad we have Aldridge tonight. He's beasting

 

[KeepOnRollin]

We have it down to single digits now.

 

[Rhal]

If we can continue to cflose out this half like this i'm going to be pleasently happy.

 

[Darkwebs]

Sweet fast break there. Leonard with the D board, to Lillard, bounce pass to Wes for the lay up

 

[julius]

Nice bounce pass
