ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/24/2019 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

I know they credited Harden with the steal with 40 secs. and us up by 3 that was HUGE !!!!

 

First Western Conference 4 seed to win a series since 2011

 

Sunday 2:30 ABC - JVG baby

 

So you are saying the Jazz are the 5 seed...... Just picking.

Jazz are a good team. Before game 1, most Rockets fans were scared of this series going 6 or 7 games, and being tough. They were easily a top 4 team in the West since All-Star break.

 

The Jazz have been conquered yet again! Though their gimmicky strategy did give the Rockets some problems, in the end our team's clutch defense (and free-throws) sealed the deal in a gentleman's sweep.

Harden might not have ended the game with great shooting numbers, but boy was he clutch, ESPECIALLY with his 5 fouls (a few of which, in my biased opinion, were completely bogus)

CP3 is clutch, and still an excellent athlete when he turns it on. I can see him picking and choosing his spots now, which is better for his long term health. I'm looking forward to seeing him carve up the Warriors' defense.

EGo was incredibly consistent, both on offense and defense, and PJ's hustle is incredible. And, of course, Clint recovered from his red-eye illnesses just in time to dominate in the paint.

The Jazz were the toughest opponent the Rockets could have faced, besides the Warriors, and they still won in just 5 games. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of this Warriors/Clippers game. Perhaps the Clips can steal one. Or perhaps not. BUT--Bring on the Warriors!

 

Very Very Glad it is over. Like Barkley said, this would have gone 7 had we screwed up tonight.

 

I don’t. I just think it’s funny.

 

I also saw one of the other two refs (Sean Wright) giving a couple of horrible calls to Utah, the one that was out of bounds on Crowder and he gave the ball to the Jazz saying PJ touched for last, another time he called a foul on Harden cause he barely touched Gobert.

 

Hey you said harden doesn’t score when it counts. I’m glad you left Jenny Lin. Net momentarily to show up

 

PJ was the man of the night. The dude is all heart, hustle, and smarts. We need another like him!

 

NBATV clowning the Rockets depth (Faried hardly played by the way). Now everyone on the panel is doubting the Rockets. they weren't impressed with the game. Utah one of the best defensive teams in the league, Rocket beat them 4-1 and no one is impressed.. smh.

I like it.

 

I hope Harden had a decent excuse for his seemingly lethargic play. If this game is a sign of what is to come in the Warriors series we're probably f***ked.

My theory is that he has Clint's virus

 

LMAO

Rocket River

 

Fwd:

“Harden started 1-11 and finished 10-26 meaning he figured it out and finished 9-15. That’s big time performing when it counts. 4 blocks and 3 steals.”

 

while some of us hate harden for the stupidest reasons, look at this lady's reaction. Like she won da lottery.

 

Yes. Hard fought series well the last 3 games at least and it won't show in the final close out of 4-1.

 

Maybe more than 2.5 hrs, you never know

 

Harden was great on both ends especially after quarter time

 

If Warriors win in 6, will the semi starts on Sunday as well?
