Game 6: Rockets/Blazers game thread

Our body language isn't good. If we go down, let's go down swinging. If guys aren't playing hard, I bet there are guys on the bench who are willing to give it their all.

 

Lol.

Roy and Aldridge are the core. That much is certain. No matter how many times in the season we have been impressed with the other Blazers, Roy and Aldridge are the core. Anyone else, except MAYBE Oden, can be had for the right price.

The one good thing about this series is that it has shown us who is REALLY the most valuable players on our team. I expect a lot of moves to be made in the off-season, because honestly, Roy and Aldridge need help....

 

Assuming we lose this game...

This series, hopefully, produces some great motivation for next year in all our guys. It's been a great year and a great learning experience in the playoffs. We, and KP also, now know who is cut out for the playoffs and hopefully we make some moves to take us to the next level.

Here's to a PG and PF this offseason!

 

I was specifically referring to being blown out.

 

I don't know why the Mikes always talk like we have a "great bench". I think our bench has sucked all year.

 

Oden just bailed out Outlaw. Outlaw is terrible.

 

LOL. Come the fuck on now refs.

 

He's a reserve, and he's taking shots because no one else is particularly stepping up. The problem is not that Outlaw has "shown" some new, negative quality. The problem is that the team has played so poorly that there hasn't been very many good choices for people to take shots. Someone had to take them (and, apparently, miss them) and Outlaw has done that tonight.

Outlaw is 2-9. Fernandez is 1-5. Blake is 1-4. Oden/Przybilla/Frye are 1-6. Basically, no one except Roy or Aldridge has done anything. That's why Portland is getting crushed, not because Outlaw is shooting as badly as everyone other than Roy/Aldridge.

 

are you kidding me? what kind of a bs illegal screen call was that. fuck fuck.

 

Fuck you, ref.

 

I feel like going Darko on the refs after this series.

Blake always looks like he's going to push it up, but he never makes the final pass.

 

Would you feel better if it was a really close game in which we had a couple inexplicable turnovers to lose the game?

 

lol@oden missing the dunk.

Now there is still a chance for the blazers to win it, but the Rockets are freestroking now.

 

Houston is chucking. It would be nice to make some ground up here.

 

it'd be so sweet if we came back and won this one. esp since everyone in here has given up

 

Kinda. Moral victories are pretty lame, but I'll take one over a blowout.

 

That's precisely why i'm still keeping my mouth shut. In no way do I ever want to come across as fickle.

 

Yes, but the players have given up too. You can see it on their faces.

 

I turned to a different channel. Game is over now. Good luck on getting trades after this series. A new point guard and a new SF would be nice. I would like to have Outlaw traded now. Hes done with his potential. We need a better experienced person for his position.
