ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Celtics 2/29/2020

You're totally right. But I have to admit, sometimes when I'm browsing on Reddit or on Clutchfans and I see people saying stupid stuff it's hard to resist the temptation to feed the trolls.

I lack discipline

 

The media and Twitter has trained people to whine about free throws with Harden every game. They aren't *actually* complaining about the calls in the game. It's simply reflex at this point.

 

Oh .... crap.... NBA Twitter blowing up with pics of Harden pooping his shorts. Can't bring myself to post it here.

 

Someone posted this in the other thread. ESPN Front page. Wow, no mention of the Rockets, Brodies dominant performance. They're more concerned that the Celtics lost

 

Celtics did a good job harrassing James all night. Some of his passes to Covington looked like desperation attempts to get rid of the ball.

 

As @deb4rockets said earlier, we made ESPN look stupid. Celtics can have their headlines. We got the W

 

Morey heard you :

 

Yea.....oh my god Mike, why are you not playing him.

 

Happy for the win. Why was this game a close game? I watched the first quarter and didn't like the lack of ball movement so I went to sleep. I did see Tatum get a bullshit call and knew the refs were going to interfere.

 

I swore I saw Rockets win in my phone. When I saw that on the ESPN front page, I thought to myself did I drink too much, or not sleep enough?!?!?!?

 

James Harden shat on the Celtics.


Nothing to see here but ball sweat

 

The one thing the Rockets are going to need to adjust was the player the opposing team's center helps off of, has to be a threat to cut back door. Tucker is an elite corner 3 shooter, but he also has to start cutting behind the help side defender. Theis had a lot of blocks coming from behind the play.

 

I never hated Westbrook though. Now Curry and Donkey, that's another story. I could never hate Beverley. He was a little junk yard dog on our team. An all in your face defender, that loves getting under your skin. But, he's the kind of guy I always said I would want next to me in battle because he would have your back. He just amuses me now playing against him. I could never hate Bev.

 

I hate Bev when we play the clips tbh

 

Sure. I think Harden was off, generally. I think he needs to get to the free throw line to get going sometimes and the Celtics really played him tough. Holding him to only 3 FTA is pretty impressive. Anyway, it's a good sign for the team that Harden can play poorly and come back and win on the road against a good team.

 

Haha, I love it. We better win though. Remember, he didn't ask to be traded. We traded him off. I can't hate him for doing what I loved him doing on our team.

 

I get you but I really do hate him when we play the clips

Like a REAL DEEP LOATHING for him

 

Westbrook covered Harden's worts

 

LOL. I know that feeling. I can't even watch us play the Warriors anymore because I can't stand even looking at man baby Curry with his towel draped on his head chewing on his mouth piece. His smug face, even sitting on the bench makes my skin crawl. On that note I am off to bed. Hope I don't get nightmares now.
