Tip-off.

[Inferno]

Lillard's jumper is wet :applause:

[Inferno]

Lillard :applause:

[Lateralus]

4 games in 5 nights for any team must be a pain.

[bdreason]

They need to run more plays through Aldridge.

[Jameerthefear]

Harden playing like ass.

[Lateralus]

Oh, I missed Patrick Bev. Already started giving Lillard a hard time, and made some great plays on both D and O. :applause:

[Inferno]

Dwight making both FT's :wtf:

[Lateralus]

Dwight making FTs :bowdown:

[Inferno]

Batum :bowdown:

[Fudge]

Rocket commentators are just as worse as the Clippers and Jazz commentators.

[Inferno]

Dwight :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

[Lateralus]

Dwight 4/4 FTs :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Micku]

Rocket commentators are just as worse as the Clippers and Jazz commentators.

Celtics are the worse of the worst. So bad that it's entertaining.

[Inferno]

Leonard :facepalm

[bdreason]

Harden with his patented head flick flop.

[Inferno]

When Blazers get hot behind the arc...

[Dro]

Harden is a foul drawing magnet....

[bdreason]

Followed by the Reggie Miller flop. This guy has a complete repertoire of floppiness.

[To4]

this is a fun game..

[Inferno]

Technical?

[Young X]

Why is that 2 free throws?

[Inferno]

Why is that 2 free throws?

They called it a shooting foul

[Fudge]

Celtics are the worse of the worst. So bad that it's entertaining.
Are you listening to these Rocket commentators right now? :oldlol: :face palm Homerism at its finest.

[Inferno]

Wide open.

[Inferno]

Lillard with a lot of rebounds

[Lateralus]

these fouls tho

[DuMa]

Omer Asik with an acrobatic layup. wait what

[Inferno]

Mo with 2 turnovers quickly

[Fudge]

Also, why is Aldridge such a shitty rebounder? Dude's not helping my fantasy team at all in that category.

[To4]

poor meyers leonard..

[Inferno]

Also, why is Aldridge such a shitty rebounder? Dude's not helping my fantasy team at all in that category.

:confusedshrug:

At least you have scoring and FT%

[Jameerthefear]

Lin is quick.

[Dro]

Damn Lin is fast from end to end with the ball...

[Inferno]

Blazers need a good center

[shoops]

Parsons' been doing a lot more alley oops this season :rockon:

[Inferno]

Will Dwight go 2/2?

[Fudge]

Lmao, Houston has overtaken OKC as the most gifted called team in da league.

[Lateralus]

dwight :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Inferno]

Damn, LMA :applause:

[inclinerator]

howard fkin sucks

[Jameerthefear]

LMA is very fun to watch. Dwight playing well.

[Inferno]

RoLo really sucks...

[DuMa]

linsanity to dwight connection :bowdown:

[Fudge]

howard fkin sucks
18/8 before halftime. Getchur weak trolling game up breh.

[Lateralus]

DH12 6/8 Fts, 18pts/8reb :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Micku]

I'm really impress by Jeremy Lin so far this season. He seems much more in control than last season. He is setting up some good plays.

Howard is playing great. Dominating atm.

[inclinerator]

lin is much better when harden let's him handle the ball more

[Inferno]

Nice move by LMA

[Fudge]

Damnit, I was hoping Dorell woulda landed straight on Beverleys face after that alley-oop.

[Inferno]

Exciting half

[shoops]

Pretty good half by the Rockets, esp considering it's the 4th game in 5 days. :applause:

Parson's 3 seems to have regressed over the summer though, and he pump fakes waaay too much nowadays.

[KungFuJoe]

Parsons three is still flat. He gets no arc at all.

I love watching Lin run the break.

Harden and his TOs though. Good thing he can score because he's useless everywhere else.

[Inferno]

2nd half

[DuMa]

Harden been drinkin at half time too :facepalm

[DuMa]

Dwight and Asik are shuttin down that paint.

[che guevara]

Blazers 8-16 on FTs, Dwight + Asik 8-10.

[KG215]

Holy hell that was a big time flop by Harden. Acted like he got shot and it looked like Matthews barely touched him.

[Lateralus]

Durant taught him well. :bowdown:


Enough of the salt DH12 ddoeeeeeeee

[Jameerthefear]

love it seeing the big guys play well.

[inclinerator]

lin locked down lillard

[inclinerator]

take lin out and they comeback

[To4]

i always mislook lillard as mo williams.. and vice versa.. they look alike on court, same arm sleeve..

[Inferno]

Blazers closing in

[Micku]

Looks like it's going to be a close game.

[Young X]

dat stepback

[HylianNightmare]

portland just can't catch a break

[inclinerator]

lin doesnt even get to finish games

[HylianNightmare]

james harden cold blooded

[Micku]

Harden and Howard have been beasting this game.

[leMVP]

lin doesnt even get to finish games

Beverly is playing D, and that's more important to the Rockets now.

[NumberSix]

Howard is better than Durant.

[Micku]

Beverly is playing D, and that's more important to the Rockets now.

Well, Lin has been playing pretty good D on Lillard. Better than Beverly this game. It just that Lin wasn't really needed because it was Harden time when he was out. There is not that much of a drop off when Beverly took over.

[KungFuJoe]

Lin sat out almost the whole 4th.

He was playin well too.

Guess we better get used to seeing him sit out 4th quarters. Mchales agenda is pretty clear.

[YouGotServed]

You know a team is good when a player ends up with 29 and 13 and he's still not the player of the game.

[shoops]

Damn, Parsons has been ice cold from 3 the past 5 games, 3-18, most very wide open shots. I hope he didn't break it when he "worked" on it over the summer. He shot pretty poorly in preseason too, iirc.

The Rockets announcers gave Harden player of the game, but IMO Howard should have gotten it. He played very well and though Harden hit pretty timely stepback jumpers, he was extremely careless with the ball.

Overall, the Rockets did a pretty good job today, considering that it was a 4 in 5 and how bad they were on b2bs last season. Casspi's been a pleasant surprise as well, I have to say.

[disel]

Dwight looked like the MDE player of his Magic years. Harden looked like the best SG that he is and the Rockets look loaded despite the hiccup in la.
