[LuckyShot]

Good Mo, Bad Mo, Good Mo, Bad Mo... I can't take it!

 

[illmatic99]

GET HIM OUT OF THE GAME!!!! I saw that turnover coming a mile away

 

[BBert]

Awe, Mo. SMH

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Freeland with two big rebounds!

Mo needs to calm to fuck down, give him a bong hit at halftime or something.

 

[KingSpeed]

GREAT WORK FREELAND

And the Mo.. smh

 

[LuckyShot]

Freeland protecting the paint!

That was beautiful defense. He didn't go for Harden's BS.

 

[maxiep]

Once again, no matter how well Houston plays, we stay right there with them.

 

[illmatic99]

We look a half a step slow in reading their defense. Break out the iPads.

It's cuz we have a dumbass out there dribbling his ass off when he should be passing.

 

[Prue]

Bad mo!

 

[magnifier661]

That was beautiful defense. He didn't go for Harden's BS.

I used to be soooo hard on him last season. He's developed into such a valuable asset for this team.

 

[maxiep]

That was beautiful defense. He didn't go for Harden's BS.

Yep. Straight up and then collected the board. Great body control.

 

[Natebishop3]

Mo still hasn't give us his one really good game that he does in every five games or so.

 

[Sinobas]

What's even the point of playing at home if the refs are going to job you like you're on the road?

What makes you think the refs care where the game is played?

 

[magnifier661]

Once again, no matter how well Houston plays, we stay right there with them.

That's what I like most. Houston is playing their hearts out and we are staying up!

 

[maxiep]

Is it too soon to give Freeland a nickname? How about Hadrian's Wall?

 

[illmatic99]

Mo still hasn't give us his one really good game that he does in every five games or so.

Mo: 14 mins
Wes: 13

Come on, Terry. Don't blow your good coaching vibes now

Same here I was ready to scrap him and give leonard the minutes. Now im opposite.

 

[LuckyShot]

I used to be soooo hard on him last season. He's developed into such a valuable asset for this team.

He just plays within himself. He knows what he can do, and he rarely seems to try to do more than he's capable of. He just does what he does as well as he can. And he plays hard!

 

[Natebishop3]

What makes you think the refs care where the game is played?

That was always the prevailing wisdom though, that you got better calls at home.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Once again, no matter how well Houston plays, we stay right there with them.

Worth noting. Portland def not playing their best

 

[magnifier661]

He just plays within himself. He knows what he can do, and he rarely seems to try to do more than he's capable of. He just does what he does as well as he can. And he plays hard!

Yep, we don't need some super defender. Just a player that can come in and play good team defense

 

[LuckyShot]

So are we going to figure out how to defend the PnR?

 

[maxiep]

How the hell is that not a moving pick on Howard?

 

[BBert]

Take it to the hole Dame.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Nice Nico

 

[Natebishop3]

At least Nic is bringing the effort tonight.

 

[maxiep]

Nice clean up by Nico.

 

[BBert]

Joel is good at defense, but if he hadn't gone for the impossible block, he'd have had that rebound.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Batum playing with effort on the boards tonight

 

[OneLifeToLive]

That's it Nic. More of that.
