ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 11/13/2019

lol what ? doesnt move the needle ? you do realize he was in the MVP conversation last year before he got hurt ? its almost like having two kawhi's out there he is such a great two way player. don't get too excited about beating them without him in november. yes we were missing a couple of key pieces, and have a lot of room for improvement, but so do they. their supporting cast is still better than ours.

 

ehhh... he took some ill advised shots. he played about what you would expect from a player of his caliber against an elite team, but for the minutes we would certainly need more from him later in year or be out of the rotation completely.

i imagine only Ego, austin, and tyson will get minutes for this team off the bench in the playoffs if everyone is healthy.

 

Went to the game. That Austin Rivers stuff toward the end was hilarious. We were cracking up.

 

I thought we’d win by 5, but it wasn’t that close. One can’t help but think that had the officiating been even remotely decent, we would have blown them out. I almost added, “and if we hadn’t had two key guys out injured,” but they were missing George. He more than balances out Gordon and House. Interesting how much I thought we missed having House. He was an object of scorn and boundless criticism by many here during the latter part of last season. Now he seems like an important part of our roster, at least to me. I hope his back isn’t a big deal. I hate back injuries. Mine is really screwed up. Not fun at all.

 

George’s good shooting percentage from three will open up a lot of things for them and for them to operate inside.

38-39% shooting consistently

 

Kawhi Leonard played 41 minutes today........he might take the next two games off to recover

Kawhi was limping. That man is done by playoffs and PG is too much of a p***y to carry them

 

That's not really him doing that now is it? Is MDA the avatar of the Houston Rockets? Are all the success of the Houston Rockets due to him? This is the same dude who has 6 total sets in his coaching playbook and asks James Harden to make the adjustments during timeouts.

Results are 0 championships. Need no explanation? OK bruh.

 

are you really gonna sit there and blame Mike for scott foster and adam silver rig job?

he should of have at least 1 title in last 2 years if the officiating was fair



I am questioning your ability to differentiate between the real skills, that is, basketball related results, and the politics. Players(Harden is the GOAT) and coaches shouldn't be thought less of, if its obvious their results are heavily influenced by the leagues front office bias and direct intervention.IE, translation, Steve Kerr would have had 0 rings just like the mike, had Adam Silver decided that him winning would not be financially beneficial to the league.

 

we saw this last year as well 5 games stretches of elite defense even before bzdelik came back

 

I missed the 4th quarter, just saw Austin Rivers officiating at the end. Brilliant.

 

Do you guys think Westbrook is genuinely happy to be in Houston behind Harden?

 

What kind of question is this ?! ‍ Let’s see .. he approved the trade to come to the rockets , harden is one of his best friends , and you don’t see how excited Westbrook gets when Harden does something great !?

 

Rewatching the game. Doc made a major mistake starting Zubac and Patterson. Must be something in going Small as MAD loves to do

 

If you think NBA is rigged why do you even watch it or complain about anything? I stopped watching WWE when I realized it was all make believe.

If the NBA was such a "rig job" how come Greg Popovich won 5 times vs sexy Lakers, Lebron Heat and Nash Suns? Why did Toronto Raptors not get the memo about this rigging, surely the NBA would go all out to protect their new logo Steph Curry? It's funny rigging doesn't seem to affect other teams but with the Rockets that's the only thing preventing them from winning a ring amirite?

 

Nah, the mistake is Capela and Tyson Chandler outplayed them and combined for 29 rebounds. If MDA went midget ball like he loves to do those 29 rebounds would've gone to Zubac and Patterson as PJ Tucker only had 3 rebs despite playing for 30+ mins. I don't know about other teams playing small ball but the Rockets playing small ball or midget ball in this case is just throwing their own advantage away when they have 2 space eating, shot blocking and rebounding centers on their roster.

 

I mean... it did affect the Sacramento Kings

 

I've been saying that all this time.
