Being honest. I had a 103 temp fever most of the day. I pretty much gave up on this team in the beginning of the 3rd. I just woke up and checked clutchfans without checking any threads. STUNNED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ban me forever. I deserve the hate! But can anyone tell me what happened? I hear Josh Smith? Run me thru the offense and defense. The tempo? I know this is a stupid thread to start but I want to hear the last 20 minutes of the game from a fan standpoint.
I admit was hard to watch in the third, but I cOuld not turn it off knowing it could be the last minutes of rockets basketball I get to watch this season blow out or not.
Well, he normally sits to start the 4th. Tonight, he just didn't have it in the 3rd quarter...but probably more importantly, the guys on the floor (Ariza, Brewer, Smith, Terry, Dwight) REALLY had it going on both ends of the floor. As Mchale explained it....he felt those guys had earned the right to finish the game. He was 100% right.
If you feel the urge to get flamed. Sure. A lot things happen in the playoffs but coming back from a 1-3 is kind of historic. I give you that.
I don't care about getting flamed. Happens everyday with all of the posters. I'll admit I had no confidence in the team, I don't know what got into them to come back but it's amazing. I'm happy for the guys. I just can't wait to hear the Medias response tomorrow on BSPN.
Blake couldn't score on Dwight. The Clips collectively got scared on offense, no one wanted the ball except Jamal Crawford, who was terrible. Matt Barnes missed a bunch of wide open looks when we doubled Blake. Our wings were FLYING around the court on D. Dwight and Josh shut down the paint. Combination of crazy effort, some lucky Josh 3s, and the Clips choking.
Repped. Very interesting to see such a disaster happen. McHale has some balls to bench Harden. What were the commentators saying? Basically other than Paul and Griffin....... everyone choked on that team.
I was mad when they were down 19 and I turned it off and went outside to cool off. I came back to watch the game at the beginning of 4th with the thought of that this is my team and I might not get to watch them again till August. Now I just realize I had made the best decision of my life. My heart had never beat this fast throughout the 4th qtr.
Is it something we ran different on the plays? A lot of open layups from Brewer etc. I dunno if it's the Clippers that fell asleep or we just became the real team we were all season?
I gave up on this team the very first game against clippers since it's just bad bad match up against such a athletic team led by Chris Paul and we let the first one slip away. My bad. I cannot believe that the rockets forced a game 7 in this series. And now, whether win or loss in game 7, I stand along with my team the rockets. GO
I watched it till the very end! I have irrational confidence on this team. They paid it back tenfold tonight. WOWOWOOWOWOW WHAT. A. GAME.
