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

Delete this now, basketballholic might be lurking - it actually might be Rubios burner account, but don't wake him

 

I'm so glad this is over guys

 

I wish, the nba would give those assholes and extra 5 days probably

 

We still played like ass overall. If we play anything like we did tonight against the warriors, or like we’ve played the last two games, we are going to get swept with ease.

Have to cut down on those stupid turnovers and stop missing wide open shots. Or giving them for that matter. Golden state will not miss those 3s we gave up the entire game.

 

I'm sure they're impressed by OKC aka the biggest threat to the Warrios

 

Don't make sense here (like save your good posts for the super secret friends only board, lol) , I'm still trying to petition to get a secret thread for "Rockets fans".

 

shall we break out the tombstone before the GS series even begins?

 

Dude it’s a bunch of Lin trolls with multiple ids trolling here

 

All those guys definitely had go to moves they would use in big moments, or spots on the floor they went to for shots. Plus, Harden has multiple moves. He has somewhat fallen in love with the step back 3. But he has the floater, the euro, and step back. He has a mid range shot. I remember back with McHale that he at times would even post up small PG's from time to time.

Elite defenses in this league cannot be beat with 1 guy anymore. You have to hit 3 pointers with other guys and space the floor.

The issue is that the Rockets shooters a bit streaky, and highly predictable in their spots/spacing. By game 3-4, you know where each guy's favorite spot is and the angle that Paul and Harden will use to pass, so you can play passing lanes. That is what happened by the second half of game 2 in this series. This why Paul had so many fumbles passing out to shooters in the past 2 games.

Changing up the spacing some every few quarters or something can put some doubt so other teams cannot do that as much.

 

Were you impressed? I sure as hell wasn’t. I’m glad we finished it, but this game should not have been that close. The Jazz missed so many open shots.

 

When I first joined clutchfans I was on dialup and would join the IRC game chat. People b****ed back then too.

 

thats actually a pretty good idea.

 

I love Calvin. No bull.

 

Man, **** them, thankfully we didn't get Westbrick somehow in that magical trade Morey did.... Because OKC definitely would have been able to kept Durant and probably won like 3 chips

 

Clutchfans haters, whiners, and crybabies were convinced tonight the Rockets were in jeopardy of blowing a 3-0 series lead because Quin "Belichick" Snyder came up with the genius strategy of butt grinding a player on defense.

LMAO.

 

Take notice Nene lift us off tonight, He played just under 10 mins but gives us much needed toughness plus 8pts & 4reb

 

The Jazz have figured out Houston. Yeah they figured out Houston was a temporary stop before Cancun

 

Good! We need the time off to recover from a brutal 5 games against Utah.
