Rockets vs Blazers Game 6

[Indazone]

Ok Rockets lets get this done. Nothing else needs to be said. Lets send these bitches home.

[kamikazi_player]

Rockets have been winning alot of close games at home, they need to blow them out, send a statement to the Lakers.

[KSeal]

Jump on them early and put them in a big whole, let them feel the pressure. The longer the Blazers hang around the more pressure is on the Rockets sketchy offense.

[DeadlyDynasty]

moment of truth for the rockets...if they lose this game the first round curse will continue

I still think they can beat Portland in game 7. But, they would have to be more aggressive and hope the refs will not call any fouls on either teams.

ahem... that will be really hard considering the odds are against them

[sribb43]

Go Blazers, I want to see a game 7 at the Rose Garden

[Allanon]

Huge game for the Rockets. It's a MUST WIN.

The last loss in Portland was forgiveable, but not a loss at home.

Even if they lose this game and then win in Portland, they obviously don't have the cajones to close out.

[dirk4mvp]

There's no way the rockets win game 7.

Artest's comments about Barkley being overrated was funny tho.

[Kai]

Wafer most likely out tonight.

[DAF86]

Wafer most likely out tonight.

Huge loss, but Barry getting some minutes won't hurt you.

[Findog]

Spark up tlong!

:lmao you cant help but love Ron-Ron...the guy is a walking disaster

[sook]

LMFAO Greg Oden injures another Rocket player. Von Wafer got absolutely MURDERED on that dunk attempt. You can see greg taking his whole arm and swiping down on wafer's hands and chest. They didn't even call a fucking foul, which is what surprised me the most.

[Kai]

It's Scola's Birthday!

[sook]

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/6401241.html

Wafer suffered the back spasms on a dunk attempt in the fourth quarter of the Rockets' Game 5 loss in Portland on Tuesday. Tests on Wednesday revealed a bulging disk. He was treated by a specialist Thursday morning and is listed as day-to-day.



I am tired of this stupid fuck injuring all our players. Portland fans wonder why he nearly fouls out every time?
When I saw that I KNEW that was a clear foul, he was reversing it coming down baseline, and there was no way that could have been a clean block without fouling him across his chest. Amazing. This guy has been so huge for us and is leading the entire team in fg%

[Agloco]

LMFAO at Artest......

Gotta love the shameless plug about his homie who went to jail a while back. Keep on reppin your boys Ronnie. :toast

[Indazone]

Well here we go, the NBA's underdog and Champion in whiffs at bat. Here's hoping for just this once Charlie Brown gets to kick the ball.

[tlongII]

Go Blazers!

[KSeal]

The Blazers are going alright.

[crc21209]

I think if Portland steals this game tonight, they win the series.

[Rogue]

This thread should have been started by IronMexican IMHO. :lol serious the rockets have to win this game if they don't want to prolong their 2nd round ******** to the 13th year.

[Kamnik]

Go rox!

[Budkin]

Watching Scola makes me cry... :cry

[IronMexican]

Let's see if this thread gets 44 pages.

[Budkin]

Keep giving it to Yao. Now is not the time to get selfish.

Seriously... Yao needs to lead that team into the next round himself... something that T-Mac always prevented.

[The Franchise]

Watching Scola makes me cry... :cry

Me to.

[lefty]

Hi guys,

I heard there was another game on tonight, so I'm lurking around

[dallaskd]

This cant be the Houston Rockets.

[DAF86]

Me to.

He isn't that bad.

[dirk4mvp]

Nice to know everyone besides Aldridge and Roy showed up.

[Rogue]

the Blazers are still alive, even though they are sucking asses now.

[sook]

i love how everyone cares about us like the bulls/celtics :(

[The Franchise]

Beat the shit out of these motherfuckers!!!

I consider this game the "let's slow down and try to fall asleep" game after that wild orgy we had in the Bulls/Celtics thread.

[Borosai]

lol McGrady

[sook]

LMFAO oden hahahhahha

[Bob Lanier]

lol Oden

[Artest_Is_Fearless]

Lmao @ obust lol nice dunk there

[Spur-Addict]

They should just cancel the fourth quarter.

[redzero]

http://deadball.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/ohiostategregoden.jpg

Nice dunk, bust.

[sook]

lol Oden

dude you're a rocket/piston fan? LOLOLOL :wow

I used to live in hartford and was a pretty big pistons fan before i moved to houston. I still keep up with them and they are still my 2nd fav team, and fav team in the east.

[lefty]

lol

[endrity]

Oden = bust!!!!


The Rox still do a piss-poor job of getting Yao the ball though. They should really practice a lot more at making entry passes. If they front Yao, then lob it to him, or swing it around so you a better corner. The Rox really need a good PG more than anything else, someone that can get the ball to Yao consistently, who can penetrate and dish it to him 10-12 fts away from the basket. They would be really hard to beat then, as Yao is almost unstopable from there.

[Bob Lanier]

lol moving screen

[Borosai]

I'll tell you something though: I thought the Blazers would have a relatively easy time taking out the Rockets. I think the Rockets can give the Lakers a very good challenge and series if they play this well. Should be good.

Good job Rockets. McGrady still hasn't made it out of the first round though. Ouch.

[endrity]

Yao and Scola should make life miserable for the Odom and Gasol. They are both tough grity and talented players, which the Gasol and Odom have a bit of a hard time to cover. And with Battier/Artest they can throw a nice tandem at Kobe. Brooks has to keep playing well though. The Rox problem right now is scoring enough, especially if Artest's crazy shots don't go in.

[The Franchise]

Aaron Brooks showing up tonight.

[endrity]

... Brooks closes the deal!! Yao is a hell of a player, competitive and smart!

[Artest_Is_Fearless]

1st time in 10 years mothafukas!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lefty]

Parade in houston !!!!!!!!!!

[Def Rowe]

Good game. Congrats Rockets for advancing to the next round.

Now grab a seat... welcome to hell.:lmao

[Artest_Is_Fearless]

Beat l.a beat l.a beat l.a!!!!

[Armando]

Well is a good thing for Artest that Kobe is not as good as Roy.

[Allanon]

Beat l.a beat l.a beat l.a!!!!

Gonna hear it any minute now.

[lefty]

Well is a good thing for Artest that Kobe is not as good as Roy.

Domb Artest just gave Kobe extra motivation :lmao

[Allanon]

Domb Artest just gave Kobe extra motivation :lmao

You just know the next guy who interviews Kobe is going to ask him about it.

[Rogue]

congrats on making the second round for the first time in 13 years.

[Spur-Addict]

Good for Houston. Any guesses on how many games Houston will win? 1? 2?

[lefty]

Beat L.A ?


ROFL

[The Franchise]

Good for Houston. Any guesses on how many games Houston will win? 1? 2?

Yeahhhhhh boyzzzzzzzzzzz

[Allanon]

Maybe 1, 2 at most.

[Jacob1983]

The Rockets are acting like they just won the Finals. This celebration kinda reminds me when the Warriors beat the Mavs in the 1st round two years ago. I guess the Rockets getting to the 2nd round is their version of winning the Finals.

[Bob Lanier]

:lol

God bless Ron Artest. Best interview in the NBA.

[Allanon]

Craig Sager "You wanna change your opinion on Kobe?"

Ron Artest "No"

[iggypop123]

im not going to try and be cocky so ill say 1 game

Rocket just met a friend they haven't met for nearly 13 years. :lol

[Armando]

Lakers in 5

[Amarelooms]

I actually think Houston matches up the best against the Lakers. Don't say never :elephant

[gaKNOW!blee]

No one else has scored 40 on Ron?? I wonder if thats a fact??


He has been in the league for a while.

[Capt Bringdown]

Rockets will unseat the Lakers in a devastating upset, and Kobe will commit another offseason rape in frustration. Book it!

[dirk4mvp]

Rose should take notes from Ron on how to interview.

i dont get it...

[Lars]

I like how people think we care when they talk shit about Tmac.

[Artest93]

Damn it, if Mcgrady wouldn't have opened his mouth, it could've been Artest, Yao, and Vince Carter..... :( Oh well, at least we got Lowry

[Indazone]

Nobody gives a in H-Town gives a shit about other teams smack talk about T-Mac :lmao

[Caltex2]

Rocket just met a friend they haven't met for nearly 13 years. :lol

But WE never took an entire decade off like a certain Dallas, Texas franchise did. No need to even bring up titles if you wanna rag on us for going awhile without achieving much.:toast
