Kind of having a hard time focusing on work right now. Portland should absolutely destroy this Rockets team. I mean the absolute worst ass-kicking they hand to any team all year. The Rockets are in complete disarray, and every guy who figures to get minutes tonight, aside from Miller and Webster, should have had this game circled on their calendar since the schedule was announced.
I don't just want to beat them, I want to physically punish them. You know they're going to flop all over the place. I say let's give them a reason to do so.
I hope Greg is arrested after the game for assault! For the straight ass whoopin he is gonna give these guys! I predict 6 dunks by G.O.!
So who else can we tear down in the organization to show how loyal we are to it? I mean isn't that the meaning of true fandom: being a fan even if the team is going down in flames, even if YOU personally caused the team to go down in flames and are in fact still holding a lighter and gasoline soaked rags? I mean I just want to show how much I care...you know by destroying things...I just love too much.
I look at this game and I actually see matchup problems. Nobody can guard brooks (maybe Bayless?) Battier and Ariza could give Roy fits on the defensive end, Scola has abused LMA in the past, and whatever you want to say about Chuck Hayes being undersized he plays solid post defense and there's a very real possibility he could sucker Greg into a couple of offensive fouls which would blunt his ability to affect the game. Put this together with the fact that the team didn't appear to play much defense at all during the preseason (as evidenced by the obscenely high FG% they surrendered to the opposition). Call me crazy, but I see this game being much closer than many of you guys seem to think it will be
Scola hit wide open jumpers because LMA was too busy stopping Brooks from going to the hole for an easy layup, Since Blake couldnt even pretend to keep Brooks in front of him. Granted Scola hit those jumpers.. but they were wide open cause that is a lower percentage shot than a layup. I'd hardly say that Scola abused him. But he did play well.
Hey! That's my joke, mister. You better take it back or you will be banned. (and by banned, I mean suspended. (and by suspended I mean not really)).
My money on who rips us up tonight is Chase Budinger. The reason being, he will be guarded by Outlaw, who is horrible about guarding 3 point shooters.
Here's hoping Blake watched a ton of film in the offseason on Brooks lighting his heels up ,and breakin' his ankles.
