ROUND 1, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - 4/20/14, SUNDAY, 6:30 PM (PST), TNT & KGW

[BlazerCaravan]

I'm liking the look of this game so far.

 

[PapaG]

I know... I just hate seeing guys miss both free throws. That kind of shit can cost you later.

Well of course it can, but it happens.

 

[maxiep]

What a first quarter for the Blazers. I'm too psyched to post much.

 

[julius]

What kind of sucks is we all know the calls will eventually level out, and in the end, favor the home team.

The refs have been very nice to Portland so far.

 

[Natebishop3]

Robinson is a fucking tasmanian devil. The dude is just pure energy. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but it's always full throttle.

 

[PapaG]

Beautiful first quarter.

Don't think Houston is taking us lightly anymore.

I just saw Dwight Howard Tweeting something from the bench...

 

[maxiep]

LMA with 12 points/8 rebounds/2 blocks IN THE FIRST QUARTER. Who on Houston can stop him?

The ball boy by squirting water on the floor?

 

[Hobbesarable]

I like the energy I'm seeing from TRob so far!

Parsons apparently still can't ride in his car.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nobody. That's really the whole point. Even though Dwight is a mismatch, I think Rolo can at least hold his own. Nobody can hold a candle to LA.

 

[BBert]

I LOVE our intensity, even if we are a little too pumped.

 

[maxiep]

Just a taste.

Yeah, he's the junkyard dog going after intruders.

 

[DamianLillard#0]

Continue this great effort..

 

[EGame]

Kind of scared LMA and Lillard have not sat yet tho. This could be scary time.

 

[maxiep]

So far, our biggest advantage has been Stotts > McHale.

 

[blue9]

Great first quarter! Loving LMA the garbage man - if he does this throughout the series I really like our chances! Dame has alleviated my fears about his late-season play - really like what's he did in the 1st. So far, looking good.

We have three days between games. They can play 40 min.

 

[Natebishop3]

WTF Nic....

 

[EGame]

and more bone headed plays by Batum.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

We'll poo

 

[Natebishop3]

Is Nic going to show up?

 

[Natebishop3]

Ugh, Nic was just a half second too late on that block.

 

[Natebishop3]

The bench is sucking ass.

 

[EGame]

As I figured. Scared that Lillard and LA are out.

 

[jlprk]

The laconic Batum has lost us the lead. He's not up to playoff basketball.

 

[EGame]

Take the bench scrubs out.

 

[Natebishop3]

Annnnnnd bring back one or Dame or LA.

 

[BBert]

We're not getting good shots right now

 

[PapaG]

No LMA, and this team struggles.
