First Round Game 4: Blazers @ Rockets Thread

Artest/Brooks shot 6 of 25 and we lost

 

Your posts are usually more thought out. You should cool off a bit before posting. Seriously.

 

This loss rests completely on the shoulders of idiotic play/decisions by Blake, Joel, Outlaw, and Nate. Oh, throw a bit of Battier into the mix.

Fucking idiots. All of 'em.

 

If we win our home games, all we have to do is get one in Houston. We've gotten so close in Games 3 & 4. Maybe we can get GAme 6!

 

Thank you..my point being we've been behind worse. I still think they have a chance..if they're behind at half in the next game, it's all over though. Maybe run some more small ball...

 

I knew Travis couldn't continue his rebounding.

 

ok, let me go feed a cat to an ATM, I'll be right back.

 

Game 5 should be all about hurting people. If we're going to go out, go out swinging. Fall on Yao's knee.... kick Battier in the balls.... punch Wafer in that big mouth of his.

 

No Soft Fouls.

Blazers are women.

 

Joel? He made one bad pass. No Joel and we lose tonight by 475. He played his ass off.

 

I concur. My only request is that we start with Wafer.

 

He was born and lives in Texas..so if you want your conspiracy theory, there you go. Personally I just think the refs sucked. And the last 3 by Travis was a mystery.

 

Okay. Take Joel out.

But the rest of them, I don't give a shit about.

 

I just can't get over that Outlaw three and Rudy not being given the chance to take it. Rudy has shown to have balls in big games from three point land we don't give him a chance.

Travis is a good option for an iso pull up jump shot or runner, but not a three pointer.

 

anyone want to put part of this loss on Oden? Foul machine, grabs only 3 rebounds, Yao goes off. At least Joel grabbed rebounds.

 

Yeah, Oden is a fucking moron. He played like shit...total ZILCH on offense and defense.

 

Nope. He's a rookie fucking center trying to guard arguably the best big man in the league. What is he supposed to do?

I'm more concerned with our playmaking at the end of the game. Once again, we saw poor decisions being made at the end when it mattered.

 

grabbed more rebounds than oden

 

lol yes, apparently Yao is SO AMAZING that he got fouled 9 times by our two centers while only committing one himself in 44 minutes. Unbelievable. Yeah Yao never got in foul trouble in the regular season or anything..................

I really despise teams like Houston. They're not going to win a title this year. They're not even going to come close. Assuming they win this series, they'll be gone fishing in 5 games (6 at most) in round two. They're mostly filled with stars of yesteryear who think they're still good and relevant, but everyone knows they don't stand a chance. I'd put the two other Texas teams in this category along with a few others.

For the second straight game, officiating is the story of the night AND Portland gets called for more fouls than Houston in the DOUBLE DIGITS. Ridiculous. Mother. Fucking. Ridiculous.

God damn this one burns. Just think if we had EVEN officating this series, we'd be up 3-1.

 

Yeah, Oden is a fucking moron alright. How the hell didn't he score 25 points and 15 rebounds in all of his 11 minutes of play?

Those fouls were ticky-tacky at best. Fuck NBA referees. No wonder NFL and MLB get watched so much more.
