ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - GAME THREAD - 11/05/13, 7:00 PM, TUESDAY

I think Freeland would've helped.

Think? More like know. We just cannot boxout without him or Lopez.

 

[MickZagger]

We hit our FT's at a decent rate and this is a ball game. Lots of ticky tack foul calls, couldn't really get in a rhythm. The Lopez bogus foul trouble sucked ass.

 

[Strenuus]

What sucks is we actually caught Houston on an off shooting night from three and still couldn't put them away.

56% makes up for the off-night in the 3 department. lol.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm really tired of Blazer teams that are in love with the three pointer. How many years in a row have we had to deal with this shit?

 

[Strenuus]

Much better... Truth: we played like shit. Truth: refs fucking jobbed us

Thats what I was saying the entire time...

It got lost in translation + the game was getting out of hand.

 

[KingSpeed]

Rockets are for real

 

[magnifier661]

I blame batum for his "bush league" 3 pointer after the last game. Karma! :maris61:

I really suggest finding a new team to follow if this gets under your skin; our team is built around that strategy, so we'll be chucking them up a lot for the next two years.

 

[MickZagger]

This was a must win for Houston with all the hype surrounding them and getting their asses throttled last night on NBATV. There would have been huge panic mode if they didn't win this one.

 

[BrianFromWA]

If you have someone in the post collecting rebounds and keeping the D honest, you can get to the Finals. When you don't, you better hope you're having the best year of Dirk's life to make it work.

 

[EGame]

Tank for Wiggins!

We're a team of three point shooters. That is who we are.

Ever since McMillan became coach, I believe.

hahahahaha!

I don't know. I think we got a pretty good team. Houston is considered a contender and we stayed in this game for most the game.

Rockets are for real

Meh, Clips beat them down. 78 pts at the half,.

 

[KingSpeed]

We could easily win our next 5. Go Blazers.

That's what I was hoping for

Get used to it. Stotts' offensive philosophy revolves around the 3. I honestly kind of liked Nate's offense better in some ways. We ran some flex and posted up LaMarcus more. Of course LaMarcus would rather shoot outside so he's happier now.

 

[VenomXL]

McMuffins!!!

We will not win in the playoffs as a three point shooting team.

With Nate it would be Lillard ISO 90% of the time...

Like I said we should tank then!

 

[MickZagger]

At least we get to sharpen our skills a little bit against a garbage Kings team for the next two games.

 

[EGame]

That would be better than seeing Mo Williams run the team and pass it to the other team.

 

[Darkwebs]

It's beginning to look like our rebounding dominance in pre-season was nothing but a mirage. Damn!

 

[magnifier661]

Orlando did. We don't have Howard though

 

[VenomXL]

Tough game. Not a lot of fun to watch. Let's see how they bounce back on Friday.

 

[MickZagger]

Do you remember the Mavs team that won the Championship? Thats what they did. Stotts was supposedly the mastermind behind that offense.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

If we could pull getting Asik out our ass we can win in the playoffs. Hell, I think we can beat teams like the Clippers or Rockets in the playoffs as currently constructed.
