ClutchFans Game Thread: Magic @ Rockets 1/27/2019

Okay I just got here from a The Ringer’s Bill Simmons podcast where they discuss if Harden is going to get tonthw 81 Kobe’s

So now Im in full Rockets mood, but also I want Harden to try this incredible feat.

I think if this is true, it has to go down tonight. Once CP3 is back there is no way Harden can justify the usage.

Anyway, as has been my “tradition” aka Modus operandi for the last few games;!hoping for the Rockets W and James Harden keeping his streak alive

 

Payback! Hope Paul comes back and DA's comments might be mind games; nevertheless, the Rockets need a win. GS is on a streak.

 

G$ 10 wins in a row and counting. COUSINs trying to make black history in a good way this time!

Time for cousins to do a underarmour deal!

 

Not sure if I’m more excited to see Harden score out of this world or the PJ and EG 4th quarter show.

 

Orlando @ Houston
Josh Tiven (#58)
Ron Garretson (#10)
Jason Goldenberg (#35)

 

i'm from the future, it's a W!

 

Does anyone know the over/under for Harden points tonight?

 

I am having a hard time remembering any Orlando Magic players. Go Rockets!

 

Really? They have some great young players. Aaron Gordon, Jonathan Isaac, Mo Bamba. They also have Vucevic, Evan Fournier, Jonathan Simmons. I hope they play Vooch heavily because he's the kind of center Harden scores all over. Those other guys have the kind of length and athleticism that can disrupt Harden (like Milwaukee or OKC though Orlando isn't nearly as good defensively as those teams).

 

Hamstring injuries will happen when they happen.......

He reinjure it against Orlando or wait three weeks and do it that night

he has to get his conditioning up
and get use to game usage.

waiting won't prevent injury

Rocket River

 

It'd be nice if we could not blow a huge late lead tonight

 

I want CP to come in and try to get harden hella easy shots

 

I would love to see how MDA works CP3 back in .

What happens to EG and James and rivers minutes ?

Hopefully they all go down . But more than anything hopefully he doesn't just cut the rotation . It's ok to give rivers 15-20 minutes .... in sure he will appreciate the breather .

If he thinks outside the box a bit , MDA can also use CP3 coming back to reduce PJ's mins . He can do this through EG/James playing SF minutes and then Ennis playing some of PJ's .

Frankly he could use Gary Clark and frankly we could sign Danuel House .... but that's asking too much .

 

Phew, glad to hear it! Now I can watch the game without biting each finger nail down to the skin. How many does James get tonight? I cannot take another sub 40pt game.

 

does anyone know over/under for ego and tucker displaying their clutchness again?

 

Hopefully Paul plays about 5 min a quarter tonight.

 

82 point triple double coming!
