ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 5/4/2018 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 3)

Whiners and crybabies are a cancer to this board.

Man, one loss and these fools are saying series is over. Let me remind you once again...

UTAH AIN'T DONE SH*T ON DEFENSE!

The Rockets are getting whatever shot they want. We're just not making them. This is the same story as always. Harden and Paul run the offense correctly, but Gordon, Tucker, Ryno aren't making WIDE OPEN SHOTS.

When they do, we score 50 in a quarter and that's what's about to happen to the filthy Jazz in their own arena. Mormons are about to meet their true lord... HARGOD!

 

I believe last night was good for us. We need a good solid challenge to our team before we play Golden State because Golden State has it easy right now but this series will make us ready to go right on time

 

Technically not a must win, but it's still an enormous game for the Rockets. Rubio could be back soon and you don't wanna give Utah even more confidence and turn this into a long series.

The Rockets MUST come out strong and sustain that for 48 minutes. This is the 2nd round of the playoffs. You cannot expect to just turn it on for 1-2 quarters and be able to win games, especially on the road at a place like Salt Lake City. And CP3 and the bench need to show up! Their lack of production is killing us.

 

Must win. Don’t want to be down 2-1 in Utah.

 

Rockets got this. The crew will be there

 

Another boring loss

 

Yeah, come out with that "oh, we will come back" energy again. We will be leaving Utah down 3-1. Paul, Gordon.. wake your asses up and ball.

 

Personally I think we need to play more Luc and less PJ. Also play with a small lineup, make Gobert have to come out and defend the three that way Harden and CP can do more driving in. Unleash JJ and hope he has a good game against his former team?

 

To be honest, much rather see JJ on the court than Anderson.

 

i'd much rather face rubio than burks. rubio as a perimeter defender is a huge mismatch for harden/paul/ego while burks' size and athleticism has bothered those guys

 

Ryno should stay glued to the bench. Don't know what's up with him, but dude is totally out of synch. He is going to need the off season to retool himself into an useful NBA player, which he previously was.

 

rockets will bounce back here

 

Loss.

 

revenge game

 

Passion of the Christ 2 , kind of revenge?

 

Just stick to Ingles, I understand that the defense is supposed to be switch heavy, but if your current man is Ingles...DO NOT HELP OFF OF HIM FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SANE.

No one else on their team is consistently a good 3 point shooter guys, you are letting the ONE guy they want shooting open 3s...shoot open 3s.

Look at it this way, if we shut Ingles down we basically blow the Jazz out. You can't allow this guy to beat you, to have his feet set and shoot 3s, you simply can't allow it.

 

Enough labeling every criticism as a whiner etc. if my favorite team comes out uninspired and plays like crap - we have every right as a fans to be pissed off. I post here cause I assume this is the only place that understands the frustration. DanTony needs to coach and help inspire this team, Beard gonna have to super flex from here on out. Jazz have tasted blood and are thirsty, whata are you gonna do about it Rockets? As a lifelong fan i just wanna see some fire! Lets go!

 

It's been a long time since the Rockets have played a game that really meant anything. This isn't a must win game, but lets see if the Rockets can come out and play with some energy. And let's hope we can start knocking down some shots.

 

No more easy layups. DMitchell not going to get easy dunks again. We dropping 50 again in 1 quarter. Jazz back being small boy club.

 

This.

Ingles is a good player, but 27 points in a playoff game? Way too much for a role player. Next game, out players should keep an eye on him.
