ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 4/5/2013

yeah it was gross. looks like a collateral ligament and menisci tear. Looks super serious to me. possibly an unhappy triad.

 

It looks like a real bad injury. Galinari may pay a visit to Dr. Andrews soon enough. Ligament reconstruction would likely put him out for a year.

 

LoL. Beverley on everyone defense. Then some Harden on everyone offense.

 

Oh boy I have to drive like 6 hours to see the guys perform, I will be right behind them, all my savings are gone, hope we win. First time at the Garden

 

That's why doing the Eurostep into the lane on every possession for 39 minutes per game, is not a good idea
Coach McHale, please think about the health of your best players.

 

I was at the last game in Dallas and the only players out shooting about an hour to hour and a half before the game were Lin and Harden on one side and Delfino on the opposite end of the court.

I never saw Lin or Delfino signing, but Harden stopped and signed for awhile before going into the locker room pregame.

Good luck!

 

Gallinari landed on a hop step with his downward force going diagonally into his knee

That's no euro step. A Euro step is actually kinetically sound, relatively speaking.

 

When I went to the Kings game, they only let us go inside an hour before tipoff so when I got down to my seats, Lin was already shooting around. He did sign some autographs before walking back into the locker room. Then I saw Harden and then Delfino last. It's kind of a blur between Lin and Harden because I was like a kid in a candy shop. I was too excited. Just make sure you stay at the tunnel where they walk when they head back in to the locker room.

 

Mmm... I get to watch us win this game in sweet HD.

 

He was talking about Harden.

 

It looks like Parker might be injured too! Man things just keep getting better and better for us! 6 or 7 seed, looks like either way we'll be facing a banged-up team.

 

I made this meme a few months ago...

 

It's bad form to rejoice in a players injury. Karma's a b**ch~

 

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Besides, I want the opposing teams to be at full strength against our team's full strength. This year is all bout gaining playoff experience after all, right?

 

Yeah you're right. My fault. Those guys never did anything to me and I know how much injuries can suck. Poor form.

I was just pretty excited by the idea that our likely match-ups will be against depleted sides. As to Wilezra's point, I'll take a win any way I can man.

Even if we get swept, this season is already a complete and total success by any metric, but getting some wins in the postseason would launch it into the stratosphere.

 

Dear team, please just win.

 

Se7en in a row for the Blazers. They have nothing to play for, they've been blown apart in 6 straight games (over 10+ points). They may not blow away the Rockets, but they ain't winning this game. Interested to see TRob, or TJones plays.

 

Though that is also when teams are most dangerous. We still got this, though.

 

Is Jeff Van Gundy one of the commentators for this game?
(If anyone knows)

 

Time for the Beard to have a good nationally televised game!
