Portland vs Houston Game Thread?

Blake can't make a FT at the end of the Clipper game but makes them when he isn't trying lol.

 

At least we made a game of it, but too many mental mistakes earlier cost us the game.

 

That's a tough loss. Tough loss. But we're still tied with Houston for losses and we're in 5th place. Not too bad. Would've been nice to win.

 

That's been the story of the season for this team on the road -- LOTS of streaky play. Seems like they need to get into a big hole in order to really focus and bear down.

 

fuck.

 

Yeah...but we go to SA tomorrow. That is MORE than likely 2 straight losses. That really hurts.

 

This was just like a game in Houston last year where LMA kept shooting jumpers and missing. We have to have a better gameplan than that. Well, we weren't going to win the rest of our games. Let's beat SA.

 

Don't count us out before the game ever starts!

 

Ginobli is out and Duncan sat tonight because of a sore knee. We'll see if he also sits tomorrow. If he does I think we have a good chance to win.

 

Houston will lose to Cleveland tomorrow. We'll beat San Antonio and we'll be back in 4th place.

 

The blew out Dallas without TD and Manu....that's a scary ass team.

 

I'm tellin you, those Frye free throws killed us. We were making a run and could've had it tied going into the 4th quarter. But he misses and Houston throws a punch at us. Sucks.

 

Was anyone else irate about the blocking call the called on Joel, when Yao banged into him, no call, banged into him again, no call, but he misses the shot so they call a BLOCKING foul. LaMarcus did the exact same thing to Scola on the other end, and they called him for a charge.

That bullshit WWF call could have cost us the game.

Another thing that cost us the game is the fact that Nate McMoron puts the worst player in NBA history into the game Channing Frye. The Blazers should buy Channing Frye a one way ticket to Bangladesh and leave him there.

 

He's not, Houston plays Cleveland on Thursday.

 

Adelman demonstrated how worthless a solely halfcourt-oriented offense is against a good uptempo team.

You can't play snailball and expect to be able to get back on defense in time.

It's like bringing a Monster Truck to the Indy 500.

Had Nate stuck with his regular rotations we would have won this, but Sergio and Bayless played a combined 10 minutes while Blake never got 5 guys playing together at any point tonight.

 

Oden needs to come back soon so we don't see Frye anymore.

 

SA beat Dallas tonight without Ginobli AND Duncan? And this makes you feel better?

 

Against scrubs.
