ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 3/20/2018

[Amick] Mike D'Antoni on James Harden's game: "He’s got one flaw. He does get tired some. He’s mortal. And that’s it."

 

James Harden is the real father anyway.

 

Holy hell of a game. Playoff atmosphere, playoff intensity, playoff crowd. Level of play was very good for both teams.

Loved our gameplan, if you can deny CJ and Dame you do it and roll the dice with Harkless-Aminu. Loved seeing DAntoni trying new things in game. At one point we had a Iso Joe, Green, Harden, Gordon, Moute I believe if my memory doesn´t fail. We will have some of those moments down the road, good to see him willing to change.

Loved that we can close games without a Center. Loved CP3. Loved the 2 stepbacks 3 from harden in clutch time, specially against the double team was WOW.

Funny to think all the time we spent here writing and reading about the stars, but without our role players, we wouln´t be able to perform like this. Moute, PJ Tucker (who is really reching Chukwagon status), Green, Gordon, even in an off game, Capela had his dunk, Iso Joe had a steal and the pass to Green for his 3. You name it, he is locked in and working his ass off for this team. And that my friends, is all you can ask as a Fan. Thanks for this season fellas, I feel represented by you!

 

Luckily, Lillard's nutsack in Nate Robinson's mouth made him nearly unintelligble most of the time. Notwithstanding his third grade reading skills. Sucker was openly rooting for the guy all night long. Lillard got chumped but Nate kept on, "Oh yeah, he's about to go off now..."

It's bad enough we had to endure Derek Fisher but hearing NateLuvLillard over and over was irritating as hell.

 

This years harden reminds me of Kobe from back in the day in his 07-10 time frame. Harden straight being a killer.

 

The hate I have for these reality tv clowns grows stronger every day.

 

would you say you HAVE grown to hate these reality tv clowns or are you GROWING to hate these reality tv clowns?

 

post to get it off of 1666

 

You failed on that by 7 minutes

 

From a blazers forum.

"So we lost by 4 with:

- Our best 2 players having their worst combined game of the season
- The refs ****ing us over (Typical Houston favoritism)
- We had mental lapses on defense that we haven't had since last year
- Houston shot great from 3pt (even by their standards

And we lost by 4. We didn't give up any ground in the playoff race as OKC & UTA (the 2 teams right behind us) both lost.

Bragging rights? Playoffs mean more, and CP3 and Harden have a history of choking there. Oh, and Houston is still one of the crappiest cities in America (sorry @Mediocre Man).

Would've been nice to win, but it means NOTHING. ClutchFans will act like they won a championship, but that's a sign of respect to US.

Go Blazers!"


Yea, that guy can eat a d**k. No one is worried about the blazers.

I kinda hope we play them in the playoffs so we can mop them in 4-5 games.

*I dont think we will play them... and really hoping that OKC falls to 8th and Blazers stay at 3rd.

 

Robinson was a low iq player and now he's a low iq commentator.. thanks tnt.

 

Amazing game. Just one aside comment....

When the game is on the line, and there is a lose ball/rebound to be had.....HOLY HELL do I want PJ Tucker and Chris Paul on the floor. Those dudes fight and swim through people for rebounds like no one I have ever seen. Dirty work, done!

 

The only team im worried about is GSW. And even then I feel we edge them out.

 

Blazers fan can think all they want about us worrying about them, Im sure most of us in this forum dont give two sh!ts about them, but whatever floats their boat.

 

What is Aminu's deal?
I remember him in Dallas
but
He seems to have the tools
and he just is not as good as I thought he would be

Rocket River

 

You could see the Blazers were playing like their lives depended on this game. Statement game.

For the Rockets?

TUESDAY

 

Dame, Harden coming after you! #Cooked

 

Somebody tweet the bum who put Portland ahead of us in the power rankings

 

man, I could watch Harden ISO on helpless defenders all day...I have no idea how people find him boring
