ClutchFans Game Thread: Suns @ Rockets 3/15/2019

A big fat 0

 

House will be a restricted FA. Rockets can match any offer.

 

i don't think we can match any offer b/c we don't have his bird rights. methinks we can only match up to the taxpayer mle

 

Lol. Let me do your homework for you.

Playoff turnovers per game for the NBA champions:

2018 Warriors - 12.9
2017 Warriors - 13.6
2016 Cavaliers - 12.5
2015 Warriors - 14.6
2014 Spurs - 12.6
2013 Heat - 13.1
2012 Heat - 13
2011 Mavericks - 12.9
2010 Lakers - 12.5

I can keep going but we’re not going to get any closer to your mythical “under 10 turnovers a game” to win a championship.

 

What’s the record without CP0 this season?

 

Tucker is a eye sore

 

It's sad to see PJ regressing again on the 3 ball. He is invaluable to our success.

 

If only House had blown a kiss to the Suns bench....

 

Great to see good shooting from House. Better than expected.I'm starting to feel optimistic that he can sustain it. I expected good defense from him. Love his energy.

Harden's stepback 3 is back and he drove confidently to the basket, and hit his floaters. I really like his tremendous post defense. His steals are like icing on the cake.

 

We'll never know, but I bet you that if we had squeaked out a win against the Warriors, we would have lost tonight. Just from overconfidence and coasting. We didn't shoot well, but we played D in that 4th quarter like we really didn't want to lose again.

 

You just proved my point...we can't win unless we commit less TO's than the other teams. 13 TOs is not going to get it done.

Okay, I will concede that the Rockets have to average 11 TOs or less to win the championship instead of 10.. If the Warriors can win with an average of 12.9 TOs, then we have to beat them averaging around 11 TOs or less. Right?

Every TO is a possible 2-3 points...with the Warriors 13 TOs is a possible 26-39 points...you can't give them that much of an advantage.

 

Only thing I know for sure is we can’t win unless we score more points than the other teams.

For argument sake, say the other team averages 12.9 TOS, and we commit 13. Are you telling me there’s no way we can win???

 

Yeah but as they say the NBA is a business Capela for example sent out that sad face emoji during negotiations with the Rox but he still signed a 4 year deal and is now balling his brains out. In House's case Tillman is his current employer and might be his future employer if his objective is to get paid then he shouldnt blow off Tillman.

 

Capela and House are not in the same situation. Let time tell us what’s what.

 

Harden knows what's up...

 

Wonder if we could get poison-pilled back hahaha (see Jeremy Lin)

 

i think our main hope is that he's from HOU and close with harden. plus he's got a starting spot with us. but if morey tells him to go test the market and get an offer sheet, i will lose it on this board!

 

Didn't even seem like a great Harden night. Guy is just on another level.

 

lol this crying millennial kitten. the difference is that he will never ever have the talent and game impact of james harden
