Game Thread: SERiES THREAD:HOUSTON ROCKETS VS PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS

[Hornsstampede2.0]

The first home game to open the playoffs is always the hardest to win.


Game 1 at home after a week layoff as a favorite.....that is arguably the hardest game to win.


SA, Miami, and OKC relied on their experience and playoff grit to avoid the home loss.


All the new faces without deep playoff experience wilted under the pressure.

 

[OregonDucks]

Sorry but I really idont like Bevereley

 

[Kold]

Houston gagged away an 11 point lead at home with 4 minutes to play


You cannot do that and win

Hack-a-Howard

 

[OregonDucks]

Barkley speaks the truth

Hardest to win for the road team?

79 fts tonight.....Portland with 39 and Houston with 40

Houston's all in the 2nd half....

that could not have ever happened in the NBA b4 tonight. unreal.

 

[OregonDucks]

Barkley said it! "That's some shady officiating"

 

[bksballer89]

Portland will be rocking on Friday night.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

No, I meant its the hardest for the home team.


They usually are rusty and feeling the pressure to win.


The lower seeded road teams have zero pressure to start the playoffs.


Even battle tested SAS, OKC, and Miami all had to dig deep and barely escape late.

 

[OregonDucks]

Portland will be rocking on Friday night.

Especially if we get game 2. Moda center will be a fun weekend

 

[WhiteMamba]

Yo whitemamba were the Blazers feed bitching about the calls? I know the color guy had to be livid.

Ya, they were pretty much livid.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Portland will be rocking on Friday night.

It is going to be a zoo

 

[OregonDucks]

If I'm Howard I'm shooting 2,000 free throws the next 2 days

 

[bksballer89]

That won't help.....Hack-a-Howard been taking place for at least 5 years now and he has not improved

Slap in the face to his teammates.

 

[WhiteMamba]

How does this happen??? Investigate THIS SHIT.

Houston 0 FT attempts 1st half

Houston 40 FT attempts 2nd half

i mean wtf? did they look at the stat sheet and say, oh shit... The fans are right, we are screwing Houston here. Lets remedy that in the 2nd.

 

[bksballer89]

I agree with Horns.....Game 1 is always the game to steal as the road team because as Horns said the home team usually plays much better in game 2.

I honestly think home teams will go 8-0 in game 2

It's shady, just like Charles Barkley Just said

Man I hope we win tomorrow
