Portland vs Houston Game Thread?

Rudy's three killed us too.

Oh and Bayless had 2 assts, Sergio had none. MARIS.

 

I meant Thursday.

 

Tony Parker is going to destroy Blake tomorrow.

 

I agree heavily with the tempo part, but not the Bayless/Sergio part. They weren't helping us maintain a rhythm when they were in the game, and they certainly weren't keeping the opposing guards in check.

 

Yes, that was flat out an atrocious call. Yao wasn't even shooting when they called the foul. And it wasn't a foul.

 

Nevertheless, he was pushing the ball, running the break, and throwing alley oops. So regardless of the competition, he showed he could do it.

Oh yea, how many assists did Sergio have tonight?

 

It's looking more and more like LaMarcus can be at best, a third option. Very dissapointing game from him. He often doesn't look to do anything else but shoot jumpers, and often doesn't look to rebound the ball. There are a number of times I counted where he should have rebounded the ball and didn't.

 

eh. joel had flops earlier that took yao out of the game(and completely changed the game). it the case you're talking about, the first could have been a charge or no call. the second was a huge flop. they decided to call it. then on the other end scola flopped, but aldridge did extend his arm(still shouldn't have been called) and they called it a charge. but the bad charge calls even themselves out over the course of the game.

 

Well it doesn't make me think anything because I don't think Dallas is particularly good. I think they just out-coached Portland thus far this season. Of course that doesn't bode well for a Popovich vs McMillan matchup.

 

least mixum cant complain about batum not stepping up on the offensive side of the court man had a hot hand in the 3rd too bad we took him out for a bit

 

Sergio had 2 points, Bayless had none.

Seriously though, the fact that neither played much is why we lost.

We were run into the ground all night long with our 2 Ferrari's sitting in the garage.

 

Very true.

Edit: Very true...the Popovich part.

I think Dallas is quite good.

 

Whenever Nate tightens up the rotation, we seem to lose.

Our strength is in numbers and energy, not experience.

 

Btw Rudy failed to make a 3 tonight so his streak is snapped. Too bad he can't complain about good looks, because he missed that WIDE OPEN 3.

 

2 assists > 2 points

Do the math.

 

This is what's frustrating about him. One game he looks like a surefire first option, the next he looks like a roleplayer. He's more or less consistently a 2nd option, but he has the potential to be SO much more.

 

And Bayless brings much more energy to our team than Sergio.

Sorry, had to.....

 

Eh...the bench is what killed us in the first place.

Our bench lacks energy on the road, every time they come in, we seem to drop.

 

Crazy stat: we shot better than Houston tonight.

Ugh

Frye's FTs blew it.

Outlaw should've had more plays called for him at the end.
