Awesome job!

 

[Darkwebs]

Awesome job!

Thanks, Sly.

I'm kinda nervous about this one. It has trap game written all over it.

Yep, not to mention that the Warriors, for some strange reason, always seem to have our number. We haven't won a season series against them since the 02-03 season. So for 7 straight seasons, they've either tied or won the season series, even though Golden State have sucked the past several years.

We have to win this one, so we can have a chance to finally take the series the next time we face them.

Anyone have a link? I'm blacked out on league pass broadband because the NBA thinks I'm in the Warrior's broadcast area...

 

[KingSpeed]

Go Blazers!!!

Thanks!

Nice dime by Camby, assisting on the first bucket of the game. Great back cut by Wes.
But then we follow that up with 2 turnovers. Gotta take care of the ball against this team.

 

[KingSpeed]

Rockets down 6, 9 mins to play

 

[Darkwebs]

Whoa, 3 turnovers in less than 3 min of play by the home team.

 

[VenomXL]

Jesus, hold on to the ball!

 

[Darkwebs]

What is it against this team? We are turning it over at an alarming rate. Luckily, the Warriors are not playing well either.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dre bricks it off the side of the backboard. Eek. Ugly, sloppy game so far.

 

[B-Roy]

Wow...this game...

 

[VenomXL]

LOL. I saw this coming. The Warriors are our kryptonite.

 

[illmatic99]

Our guards have been absolute shit so far. Wes, okay, he's a second year player and gets caught up in the bad decisions, but you'd think a veteran like Dre would know better.

 

[Darkwebs]

8 rebounds for Camby already. LOL

 

[VenomXL]

Eight boards for Camby already.

 

[illmatic99]

Grizz down 1, 5 secs left and the ball.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Rockets down 12 3 min or so left. I think we've clinched.

Gramps...

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Best part of the game so far...

finding out that Mike Rice played against Meadowlark Lemon in college.

 

[VenomXL]

Fuuuuck.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Concussion?

 

[VenomXL]

FML. Come on Marcus!

 

[Darkwebs]

Please be okay, Marcus

 

[KingSpeed]

3 mins left, Rockets down 7

 

[illmatic99]

Ahahaha Refs take over. Call a jump ball, and Clips win possession.

 

[illmatic99]

Shit what happened in our game? I was watching the Grizz.
