[Round 1, Game 2] Houston Rockets @ Portland Blazers

[stockmarketgod]

Stats are decieving (spelling?) as well. LMAO at the Portland fans trying to come in here and defend Brooks. AB wasnt effective until down the stretch when it was too little too late. Hell Lowry had outplayed Brooks until the closing minutes of the game.

Dont get me wrong I love Aaron Brooks and I was saying before the season even started that the Rockets needed to move Alston so he can take over the starting role but AB is just like Yao because they can both dissapear for HUGE stretches of the game.

Lowry is the one who brought us back at the end of the 3rd when it looked like Portland could pull away.

I have a feeling the AB 2 years from now... will be the AB we are looking for today...

its hard to forget how young he still is...

btw

im a bad speller... but to remember use the phrase... ' I before E except after C

stop making yourself look dumb. You do realize you CAN'T ask him to be perfect. If you are avging 25ppg on over 65% from the field and 3 with 5 assists to go along with it you CAN'T complain about these other things. Right now, Rose has started more games than AB and he had a bad TO in the 4th that cost the bulls the game.

Like i said. You are only making yourself look stupid if you choose to blame him over

Yao being a puss.
MISSED FTS (Mostly Scola and Lowry)
Artest thinking he's Kobe



Let me make a likewise comparison.
Yao is the best offensive center in the game but he is also the easiest to take out of the game.
Artest can be one of the best role players...but he chooses not to.
Scola is just plain stupid some times.
Wafer is so damn athletic and is a scoring machine but he is a bonehead sometimes.

AB has been the best player over the course of the 2 games, you can't ask him to be everything in his 2nd year, half a season of STARTING. Keep trying, its only making you look pathetic.

I kind of disagree. It was Aaron's 3 and Ron's dunk that tied the game to end the third. Lowry then started the 4th and the TB went on a run to start the quarter, we had to call a time out to get Aaron in. I thought it was a coaching mistake not to have aaron in at the start of the fourth and was going nuts when he wasn't in the game when the fourth started since he likes to score in bunches. I thought that was a big coaching mistake when watching the game. I do agree that it was Lowry's drive first mentality that kept it close the whole game, but he also missed a **** load of free throws making his efforts less effective.

at the start of the 4th... we launch up 2.... 3 pointers and missed

the blazers came back and launched a 3 pointer and hit.... I had a feeling we were in for a long day after that....

but thats the thing... Sook....

like you said...

with Yao playing like a VAG and Scola missing his ft's left right and center.... Artest going off the deep end again...
'
we have to ask him to do more... its the playoffs..."you win or go home"

he is basically the lynch pin, the key, the backbone, quarterback of the team now...

I could say most NBA centers... didnt win a championship until there 7th year or after... nice excuse....

but that isnt going to cut it with any of us... is it...



this team goes as he goes...

[HTown_TMac]

Why do you use so many "..."?

[stockmarketgod]

Why do you use so many "..."?

good question... not sure... i just type... and it comes out... and i tend not to... go back and correct... certainly a waste of "time and typing" but then i probably wast just as much time going back to correcting

im sure if I did this in my grade 8 typing class I would have failed... heh

He's averaging 25 and 6 after 2 road playoff games, more than double his regular season production, and you're still harping that he needs to step up? That is neither logical nor reasonable.

You got 1 out of 2. Can't ask for much more than that.

you guys should be ecstatic heading back to Houston for 2 games.

I don't understand why we should be thrilled about this nor do I understand your underlying implications. Whether we can win the series while winning only 1 road game is purely subjective.

You took homecourt advantage away from the Blazers and now you have homecourt advantage. You're not thrilled to have homecourt advantage? It's a helluva lot easier to win a game at home with 20,000 fans cheering for you, sleeping in your own bed each night and just having the comforts of your own home than it is to try and win on the road with 20,000 fans yelling at you, sleeping in a hotel room for 2, 3 or 4 nights and just not having your comfortable surroundings. If you don't understand that, then I can't do any better.

You're missing my point. I'm not complaining about splitting the series, but like any other basketball game we would much rather have won both games. Of course it's easy for a Blazers fan to say 'just deal with the 1 out of 2', but after experiencing a series of 1st-round exits we're well aware that nothing is guaranteed. The Blazers can take one in the next two games and just like that, the scale will be tipped.

Its a wing mans game these days... its too easy to take out the big men...

and if AB, isnt even going to attempt to pass the ball to either Yao or Scola, and continue to pass the ball to Artest, Id rather we lose in the first round... because the Lakers are gonna blow us out.

is it reasonable. or fair, of course not

but the only people who think life is fair, are still diapers, or in school,

the only thing I learned from, University... is I didnt know sheiit, when it came to the real world
