Blazers @ Rockets - game 3

[Rogue]

Go Rockets. :flag:

[Banzai]

Should have been me who started the game thread lol....

[Rogue]

awesome flopping, scola. :lol

[Rogue]

15-8, with only 1:36 to play in the first quarter.

[redzero]

lol Olden in foul trouble already.

[Budkin]

It never gets less painful watching Scola play for the Rockets. Every season I was excited that it was the summer that the Spurs were going to finally bring him over. I still can't fucking believe what they did. Idiots.

[DAF86]

Lol Scola ballhogging.

[robbie380]

Lol Scola ballhogging.

he is just playing as an extension of yao. if the blazers are going to give that much respect to yao on d and leave scola WIDE OPEN then he has to shoot it or drive. i think it is bad game planning but if mcmillan wants to do it then it's fine with me.

[Banzai]

25-40

[j.dizzle]

blazers makin von wafer look like jordan

[j.dizzle]

Lol Scola ballhogging.
I would be ballhogging too if my oppnent kept leaving me wide open & my shot was falling

[robbie380]

man i get so excited anytime i see von have a wide open lane to the rim.

[sook]

I hope the blazers have gotten better acquainted with my friend Nilla Wafer.

Weclome to the TC portland.

[sook]

They are fronting yao. If scola can knock em down at 50% and is left open...why not?

[j.dizzle]

man i get so excited anytime i see von have a wide open lane to the rim.
Hes got some sick hops man..He's good energy. He makes some stupid decisons sometimes but he always finds ways to make up for them

[Ice009]

It never gets less painful watching Scola play for the Rockets. Every season I was excited that it was the summer that the Spurs were going to finally bring him over. I still can't fucking believe what they did. Idiots.

No one can really.

Aldridge two points so far. Scola ain't that bad of a defender now is he?

lol Spurs are a defensive team and they thought Scola would be a poor defender now all of a sudden the Spurs want offense well Scola could have provided both.

Scola is pretty much the main reason I like the Rockets and am watching this game.

[robbie380]

seriously? how the fuck was that an offensive foul on yao?

[Banzai]

roy got blocked.

[Banzai]

Does T-Mac sit on the sidelines anymore? Or is he banned from the arena?

[Ice009]

Rudy has some toughness. He is playing his ass off in a hostile arena and not looking intimidated at all. I can't say the same about a lot of his more experienced teammates right now.

[Mad_Hatter]

Does T-Mac sit on the sidelines anymore? Or is he banned from the arena?

he's on the bench but just sits there expressionless. even when Wafer slammed it he didn't even move or clap or anything.

[j.dizzle]

Does T-Mac sit on the sidelines anymore? Or is he banned from the arena?
T-Mac is chillin right in the middle of the bench. I honestly dont know how is teammates even talk to him :lol

[redzero]

Knee Mac is at his house, watching two games at once.

[Ice009]

Defensive player of the year Dwight Howard huh?

[Typhoon]

Scola on his way to another triple double.

[DAF86]

Scola on his way to another triple double.

When did he have a triple double before?

[Typhoon]

Dude like every fucking game, Scola owns.

[DAF86]

Dude like every fucking game, Scola owns.

Best role player in the game?

[redzero]

I feel your pain, Spurs fans. The Hornets gave up quite a few good players for no reason.

[Typhoon]

Role player? more like all star. :lobt:

[sook]

He has been playing like a monster when Yao is out. When he gets the touches he owns..

Scola has been pissing me off lately though, i understand he isn't gifted athletically but he needs to play better defense.

[Indazone]

The foul calls on Yao so far have been largely BS!! It's like the refs were instructed to keep him out of the game. Well so be it. Let Brooks, Landry and Scola kill the Blazers.

[sook]

^ Dude we have got some home cooking going too. while i agree those were BS those flops we made (disgusts me) early in the 1st clearly tilted the game in our favot.

[j.dizzle]

The foul calls on Yao so far have been largely BS!! It's like the refs were instructed to keep him out of the game. Well so be it. Let Brooks, Landry and Scola kill the Blazers.

Yao can sit out the rest of the game & the rockets would still most likely win. Portland is down by 11 but it feels like 30. All u gotta do is defend roy & aldridhe hard & they have no chance. Rudy Fernandez is pretty hot though but they can afford to let him score some.

[Indazone]

I think Artest has been instructed not to shoot and shut down Roy. This works well for me.

[redzero]

Artest is going to take 30 shots in the second half.

[sook]

I think Artest has been instructed not to shoot and shut down Roy. This works well for me.

is he playing...smart?

[sook]

artest...please shoot that...its a layup!

[DAF86]

I think Artest has been instructed not to shoot and shut down Roy. This works well for me.

Lol I just saw it, 0 for 0 from the field. If he realizes that he's nothing more than a role player, you guys may be dangerous.

[sook]

I am going to say something i never thought i would say...

































COULD YOU PLEASE SHOOT THE BALL RON?

[Indazone]

So far Artest not shooting is working wonders for the Rockets

[Indazone]

That last play was a beaut. Yao to a cutting Battier when he was fronted.

[Indazone]

This is funny as hell...Artest hasn't taken a shot. Blazers have taken Yao out of the game and we are killing them on the boards and Louis and Landry are kiling them.

[DAF86]

Watch out 4th on Scola

[Def Rowe]

I can see why Rox fans would prefer Artest not shoot the ball.

[redzero]

lulz at Scola's flop.

[sook]

lmfao Yao Ming is a joke...

we went to hhim the last 4 times...whats the excuse now?

[DAF86]

Here come the Blazers

[sook]

we got a ball game sons.

[Def Rowe]

Gotta keep up that defense Houston.

[Hemotivo]

I am going to say something i never thought i would say...



:bang





























COULD YOU PLEASE SHOOT THE BALL RON?

[DAF86]

OOOOden

[Indazone]

The reffing on Yao totally sucks. No calls against Oden and Pryzbilla. Those guys should have fouled out by now.

[Def Rowe]

Roy is really not doing much in this game.

[redzero]

Now, it's time for Artest to shoot fifty more shots.

[j.dizzle]

How come someone that is seven foot six be so useless at times? What happened to game 1 Yao. I know they're guarding him differently but he needs to find ways to score without scola in the game

[sook]

Not just that he is a complkete defensive liability, he missed the switch on FOUR pick n roles in a row. Dumbass fucker. Its on HIM.

[Indazone]

Yao has already picked up 4 fouls. He's letting Oden and Aldridge go by because he doesn't want to pick up number 5. Then you got Oden and Przybilla grabbing him at his waist when he shoots or mauling him. The fronting defense is meant to keep the ball away from him so when he gets fronted, there's a guy open behind him. Cutters need to cut. That's all.

Scola needs to give some lessons about that.

... Then man up

[j.dizzle]

Yao let oden have a few dunks cuz he cant afford to pick up more fouls if he wants to play but he needs to use his size to his advantage

[Indazone]

The game is totally fucked for Centers now.

Duncan shot 2-9 last game and had 2 rebounds 1 ast, 1bs

[sook]

He hasn't impacted the this and last game.

[Indazone]

Sook is a Yao hater. Pay no mind.

[sook]

The game is totally fucked for Centers now.

Duncan shot 2-9 last game and had 2 rebounds 1 ast, 1bs

Don't compare him to duncan. Duncan has proven himself countless times, yao hasn't

[sook]

Fucking wafer. Calm your ass down

[Indazone]

Yeah then explain Duncan's stats last game you fool

[Indazone]

This is a perimeter's players game now. Totally dependent on how the refs call the game for the big man.

[j.dizzle]

see that block right there by yao. he would rape oden all night if he wasnt in foul trouble

[j.dizzle]

If scola wasnt in foul trouble i think Houston would be up 15

[sook]

NICE block by Yao. If he plays defense i don't have a problem with him not scoring but he gets raped by the pick n roll all the time. Oden is having a ball out there because of it.

[sook]

von wafer wtf?

[j.dizzle]

does von wafer think hes an all-star or some shit??? hes killin the rockets momentum

[sook]

You can't do that shit...ugh

[DAF86]

The Rockets need Scola back on the court

[sook]

Yao is a fucking pussy...wtf has he been doing?

[Def Rowe]

Nice 3 point shot Battier to get the crowd back in it.

[sook]

Battier!

[j.dizzle]

shane allen!

[j.dizzle]

has yao even touched the fuckin ball in the 2nd half? haha

[Ice009]

Man that three from Battier was fucking huge.

[Indazone]

I"m calling it. Rockets win!

[sook]

Thnx for the jinx asshole!

[sook]

This is what im talking about with Scola he is so cool but so stupid at the same time

[sook]

nice tip b yao

[sook]

Stop flopping wtf!

[Ice009]

Wow Roy coming up with some big plays.

That block on Battier was questionable to say the least though.

[j.dizzle]

dayummmm roy makin yao ming look like hes 6 feet tall haha

[DAF86]

Here's where the lack of a star guard hurt the Rockets.

[sook]

If we lose its on Indazone for jinxing us when he had no reason to

[hhml]

This game is over. That basket by Scola was huge.

[sook]

32 secs left, down 6..can they do it?

[Def Rowe]

Six point game, 32 seconds left. Rockets got this.

[Indazone]

I"m still calling it!!! ROCKETS FOR THE WIN!! WHOOOOOO

[Ice009]

Scola!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

Scola = clutch

[j.dizzle]

why isnt rudy fernandez in the game? damn nate mcmillan is stupid. hes been there hottest shooter & hes sittin on the bench

[DAF86]

I"m still calling it!!! ROCKETS FOR THE WIN!! WHOOOOOO

Please God let the Blazers win

[Ice009]

Luis Scola that was a big shot.

I'm kinda happy and pissed at the same time ;).

[Banzai]

looked like a 2 point shot.

[ElNono]

LOL Roy

[sook]

fuck i have a bad feeling about this game...

[redzero]

http://www.best4hawaii.com/images/oahu_outwaikiki_hotel1.jpg

Portland's going to be having fun next week.

[Banzai]

lololol

[Indazone]

LOL@ this game

[sook]

WTF!


Indazone I will find and kill you if we lose this fucking game you idiot!

[Otaku]

Rudy!!! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[hhml]

That was an unbelievable shot.

[Ice009]

Rudy is a gamer.

[sook]

LOL@ this game

You're the reason ..

Why the fuck call it??!?!?

Ugh

[Road Warrior]

Holy crap!

[Indazone]

Hahahahahahahahaha

[ElNono]

Blake :lmao

[mavs>spurs2]

Is steve blake cool?

[Banzai]

[DAF86]

LOL@ this game

LOL @ you :lol

[hhml]

That was a terrible shot :lol

[Ice009]

What the fuck blake is a fucking moron.

What the fuck is blake doing. Fucking idiot.

[Indazone]

Game over!!!

[Road Warrior]

Well there went that :lol

[Mark Jackson]

Steve Blake, you're better than that

[Budkin]

Steve Blake :lmao

[ElNono]

Blake with the redeem trey... Brooks better make the FTs

[sook]

All of this could have been avoided Indazone...


You honestly think the blazers could hit 4 3s in a row?

Do us ALL A FAVOR...AND NEVER CALL IT YOU IDIOT!

[ElNono]

LOL Portland... :lmao

[Budkin]

Wow what a play by Brooks!

[Indazone]

lol @ superstitious Sook.

[Ice009]

What a game!

[Banzai]

Tlong on suicide watch.

[DAF86]

Houston should have won this by more than ten

[sook]

lol @ superstitious Sook.

..superstitions? haven't advanced from the 1st roud in 12 yrs? You call it they hit 4-5 3s in a row? Please, its obvious. NOT DONT DO IT AGAIN

[Lars]

Nice

[j-money24]

Tlong on suicide watch.

Blazers in 4.

- TlongII

[Indazone]

hehehe

[DAF86]

Please God let the Blazers win

So close

[Rogue]

Blake is an idiot. http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=3460

[supermana]

Player of the game

Steve Blake

[j.dizzle]

Good game..Houston should of won by more but a win is a win..Yao needs more touches though i didnt even see him score more then once or twice

[Rogue]

sons the Rockets just won a game they were supposed to win, expectably the blazers will fight harder in game two and make tons of troubles to rockets there. congrats rockets on the win tonight anyway.

[j.dizzle]

Even though blake made that second three he still gave the game away by airballing that first one by like 5 feet hahaha what a retard

[The Third Man]

Scola and Battier got it done. It is disconcerting to see Yao being taken out of the game on offense, but his presence was felt on defense. Also, Scola is not scoring 17 in a half without everybody in Portland sticking to Yao. Hard fought game.

[ratm1221]

Rockets are finally going to make it out of the first round and no TMac... Guess he'll remain the first round virgin for-e-ver... for-e-ver...

[DAF86]

With a Ginobili or a Roy instead of Artest, the Rockets would be a serious contender.

[Roxsfan]

Seems like the Rockets will just be happy to get out of the first round because Lord knows whats waiting on them in the second round.

how about you worry about getting a road win this postseason and stfu:toast

Rockets play some good D but just dont have enough firepower to hang with the Lakers. Not enough length either since Deke is done but atleast they're getting it done in round 1

[Roxsfan]

if they limit kobe, they have a good chance.

[Roxsfan]

LOL... like the other four times during the regualr season. We would sweep the Rockets, but thanks for taking care of tlong and his faggot Blazers team. Blazers will go down in history as the team that let the Rockets out of the first round.
:lmao

If you think the lakers would win a rox-lakes series I'd say you are a laker fan

if you think they would do it by sweeping, I'd have to say you are not too bright:sleep

Son the playoffs is a completely different animal. Although, missing Deke is a huge blow.

You're fucking dead, Houston.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Son the playoffs is a completely different animal. Although, missing Deke is a huge blow.

Rockets could handle the Lakers last year better than they can this year...so I don't know how much the regular season sweep reflects the edge the Lakers have.

Battier is pretty good in making Kobe work, but the Lakers are even deeper this year than last. :wow
Regardless, it should be a much more entertaining series than the Jazz-Laker one.

Blake is the quintessential typical white baller.
