ROUND 1, GAME 3: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - 4/25/14, FRIDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), ESPN & KGW

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Blazers D tonight.

 

[LuckyShot]

Aldridge looked like he was pressing too hard tonight. Like he was moving just a little too quick on his shot. He made the shots where he looked smooth and in rhythm.

 

[TheBlueDoggy]

Even with the loss, it was a good game IMO. Took a no call tackle and a prayer 3 from a d-leaguer for the Rockets to win. Pretty sure McHale thanked Daniels for extending his job for another game.

The biggest problem. You have gave these guys life.

Not going to be easy.

 

[LuckyShot]

Blazers D tonight.

Too spotty. We need to try defending the pick and roll sometime.

 

[HailBlazers]

I really wasn't going to bitch about the refs. I felt like they called it pretty even, but that bullshit at the end where Lin flat out tackled Mo...... that was horse shit.

But seriously though, Joey Crawford. The fix was in.

 

[KingSpeed]

Harden 37 in 35 shots
Lillard 30 in 16 shots

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I like winning better.

 

[Natebishop3]

We blew our load too early in the OT. We got out to that early 4 point lead and we let off the gas. There was still 3 minutes left. We let off the gas and Houston came back. We should have kept going to Dame. He was on. We should have kept going to Mo. We should NOT have force fed LA.

 

[KingSpeed]

Batum played the whole game.

 

[B-Roy]

I still think Lillard should have had the last shot.

 

[Strenuus]

We got it. We will win Sunday.

 

[LuckyShot]

Harden 37 in 35 shots
Lillard 30 in 16 shots

Thing is, a lot of Harden's misses were rebounded for easy put-backs.

We shot more free throws.

They committed more fouls, and that's with us doing hack-a-howard.

 

[Natebishop3]

I still think Lillard should have had the last shot.

Beverley is amazing at denying him the ball because the refs allow him to drape his body all over Dame.

 

[BigGameDamian]

So a guy with 11 seconds hits a big shot and they act like he's the next big thing?

 

[EGame]

fuck just got home and saw that. Sucks should have been a foul on Houston, but it was to be expected they didnt call it. Oh well, Blazers cannot lose game 4. If they do I fear there chances then.

 

[Natebishop3]

Wes was a complete no-show on offense tonight. I think defending Harden is really wearing him down.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

We got it. We will win Sunday.

This. I'd like to say we'll win them all but you can't when the refs make it 8-on-5 half the game.

Soooo... the refs were... bad?

If you blame the refs you have no idea what you are watching

The Blazers lost because they gave up 22 offensive rebounds, which results in the Rockets getting 15 more shots up than the Blazers. That's game right there.

Don't even start blaming the refs. Don't be homers.

 

[Natebishop3]

They're bad on both sides. They missed calls for us, and they missed calls for Houston. We really can't blame the refs here.

 

[illmatic99]

They missed the last call, but we aren't gonna pin this loss on them. As Dame says, few games are decided by one bad (no) call

[KingSpeed]

Well, we still have HCA. I don't think any of us expected to sweep the series before the playoffs started. So it will be hard. Nobody said it was going to be easy.

 

[RoyToy]

LOL at my posts getting deleted

Weirdos

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We need to do something to combat Howard getting offensive rebounds.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

LOL at Crawford being an official for Subday's game.

But PapaG said whoever wins this game wins the series

It was just a shot by a rookie. He misses and we probably go up 3-0 no matter what you say
