First Round Game 3: Blazers @ Rockets Thread

Just kidding. heh I'm so cruel.

 

Roy got fouled. Made two free throws. Why the fuck did ESPN change the channel?? Makes absolutely no sense

 

Maybe there was a Mexican Swine Flu breakout in the ESPN programming center?

 

0:14 35-48 Aaron Brooks makes free throw 2 of 2
0:04 35-48 Aaron Brooks shooting foul (Brandon Roy draws the foul)
0:04 Brandon Roy makes free throw 1 of 2 36-48
0:04 36-48 Von Wafer enters the game for Aaron Brooks
0:04 Nicolas Batum enters the game for Rudy Fernandez 36-48
0:04 Brandon Roy makes free throw 2 of 2 37-48
0:03 37-48 Ron Artest bad pass (Brandon Roy steals)
0:00 Brandon Roy misses 52-foot three point jumper 37-48
0:00 Portland offensive rebound 37-48
0:00 End of the 2nd Quarter

 

That is exactly how I feel. The Rockets couldn't play much better and we couldn't play any worse. These are fixable problems. I'm actually feeling confident.

 

If Roy would've hit that 3 at the buzzard we would only be down 8 FUCKKKK

 

Well it was kind of deep.

 

I don't get it, it's the playoffs guys, step it up! Where has Travis been this entire series? Where's the defense? Why is Nate playing small ball with Channing Frye(again)? Why are we missing so many jumpers?

You know what? Fuck Travis Outlaw, he can't even take a 5-10 guard down low, he's never been able to take advantage of small players. I'm sick of his shit, and I"m sick of Channing Frye's shit. PLEASE! Get a real god damn backup PF.

 

Halftime thoughts: Blazers played like garbage. Houston is being allowed to play very physical defense while I don't think the Blazers are being afforded the same way. Rockets scrubs can't miss from the field. That tech on Joel was absolute bullshit. Channing Frye actually played pretty well, considering. Notice no Sergio, they are going with Rudy/Roy at the point when Blake isn't in there. Outlaw is playing like garbage. If they could find a way to get Oden active offensively, he could dominate. That's all. It's only 11 points.

 

Houston's backcourt only has 5 points.

 

Our weakness in the playoffs. Good point guard play and at the SF position.

 

Might be closer than I thought. Travis will hit the game winner.

 

Travis Outlaw = Cliff Robinson 2.0

 

What point guard play? Blake is a ghost.

 

It's hard to have faith in a comeback if Houston is going to continue to be allowed to hack and grab us with impunity. The difference in calls at the two ends is a joke and there's no defense for it.

Someone send out a search party and find STEVE BLAKE - his services are needed.

 

Totally different players.

 

For all the whining about Blake.... he has only 1 turnover in the entire series and Brooks is shooting 2 of 7 from the field tonight.

 

You're jumping the gun, 2.5 games into his first playoffs. Especially since he played great D in Game 2 and scored 4 key points in the 4th quarter including a steal that pretty much put the game away.

 

He's not running the offense very well.

 

It's sad to think that we're going to end the season like this. It would have actually felt better to just end the season on the high of blowing out all the best teams at home. Houston's scrubs are making us look like a lottery team. Seriously, their bench is abusing us right up the ass.
