ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Cavaliers 1/7/2015

Oh man Dmo is gonna destroy Love. I wonder how Dmo will do on the defensive end though

 

This is a game where you have others grab defensive rebounds. That way Dwight can run to the other side first to easily establish himself deep in the post before the defense sets.

 

Play freaking defense

 

Cavs are without Lebron, Varajaeo and possibly Irving. They've been playing terribly even before losing to Philly and they have to incorporate jr smith/shumpert into the team, equals EASY win for any Western conference playoff team.

The rockets should win this game by 20+ and i'd be shocked if it was even close.

 

haave you seen the way the Rockets have been playing?

 

win or lose depended on the defense effort.

 

Yup and as many other also noted, the Rockets have been great as beating average to bad teams. They did so against the Heat and Bobcats by 20+ during their 4-6 malaise.

In fact if you look in the Heat gamethread I also posted that I thought the Rockets would win easily.

The problem for the Rockets is against good teams and right now the Cavs without Lebron, Varajeo, and maybe Irving are definitely not that.

 

Just like the Rockets were unmotivated after that Hornets game...

 

Rockets bounce back and win this for sure. Done playing games with the haters.

 

The Rockets really did play well last night , they made some mistakes in the fourth quarter, but overall were as solid as they have been since Dwight came back.i expect a good win.

 

Time to disrespect/shame Cleveland.

Spoiler

Even went with the exaggerated leg kick like my pup after a nice poop.

 

We better win. We don't fall too far in the West.

 

Please win and i hope we get JVG instead of Hunie Brown.

 

Mark Jones, Doug Collins, Chris Broussard

 

It's time for Houston to get it together.

 

Basically.

 

They played pretty well until the last few minutes. The coaching staff is trying to figure out Smith and Brewer and how they fit in with the rest of the team. They're slowly but surely getting there. We just need to be a little bit more patient.

 

Good luck for DMo chasing him around the 3 point line really. He's going for 30/10.

Should be a very winnable game though.

 

Better defense, and smarter/engaged play overall should yield a win. Rockets know that they can't just show up and expect to win.

 

Probably a win based on previous results. Seem to show up after an embarrassing loss.
