Portland vs Houston Game Thread?

using bayless as a spot up shooter that just camps in the corner doesn't seem like a good idea. if they want someone to do that, rudy should be in the game.

 

Is this team capable of playing any defense???????? All of the Rockets scrubs are having career nights. Fucking annoying.

 

He's shooting 4 of 7.

Roy is 4 of THIRTEEN.

He's shooting better than everyone except Joel.

More Outlaw please.

 

Oden in the middle for some easy buckets would be a huge help tonight.

 

Bayless
Roy
Batum
Outlaw
Aldridge

Put this lineup out there and get running. If rebounds start to be a problem, put Pry in for Outlaw.

Batum needs to play. He actually plays defense for crying out loud.

 

Oh wait, we don't throw the ball to him anyway. LAME.

 

As I said, jumper after jumper. You're not going to win this way, because at some point, you'll start missing.

 

Yes, Batum needs to be in the game. If Nate was such as defensive badass during his day, you would think he would appreciate what he brings to the table.

 

Biggest things I've seen...

-When Joel's not in and Aldridge is shooting, we have no one rebounding
-Outlaw wasn't rebounding period
-Obviously, not many of the shots are falling
-They're getting to the paint at will, although it was a bit better when Joel was in

Hopefully just having a line-up with Joel in, and Aldridge/Roy being able to heat up a bit can get us back into this game. One of Blake/Rudy/Bayless/Outlaw stepping up to shoulder some of the load would be nice too.

 

the only rockets player doing anything out of the ordinary is chuck hayes.

 

Are we really going to have an 'angsty' meltdown tonight fellas? It's in Houston, what did ya'll expect?

 

Outlaw -19 at the half. That is extraordinarly bad.

 

I didn't realize Roy was struggling so bad either. This just ain't our night. Hopefully we can at least make it respectable.

 

I think the Blazers actually had the lead when Batum left the game.

 

Outlaw has grabbed 3 rebounds. His rebound rate is 12 rebounds per 48 minutes!

 

Batum: +2
Outlaw: -19

 

We did, but that was because Roy and LA were hitting. Batum was struggling out there on both ends of the court.

 

Meaningless stat. Roy is -9. Batum is better than Roy!

 

Not Outlaw's fault. If not for Outlaw, we'd be down 25. Outlaw was the only guy who get a ball to get into the basket. Not his fault the others were cold.

 

I know your trying to be funny. That might be impressive if it was per 36. I wish there was a boxscore to count the times the guy give up offensive boards because he can't even display boxing out fundamentals of a fifth grader.
