ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 5/14/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 6)

I was disgusted in the 3rd and was a second away from turning it off and going to bed. Glad I didn't...granted, watching it on delay so I could fast forward a little helped

 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

haha dude woke up with 25+ texts & turned the tv back on

 

I'm sure the Clippers will come out for blood in the next game, but you have to think there's a monkey on their backs, too. Franchise has never gone to the conference finals, Chris Paul has never gone to the conference finals...no matter how the game goes, that's going to be in the back of their minds. The Rockets need to use that, if they can. Just play smart and hard and keep the pressure on them. Everyone's jocking the Clippers and acting like the Rockets aren't supposed to be here, so the Rockets should play as if they have nothing to lose.

So happy for the team. I hope Harden's feeling better for game 7.

 

My only regret about last night: the game wasn't on TNT. Wouldn't you have loved to hear their post game comments?

 

I knew Brewer would do good things this series. He brings a certain dynamicism with his driving at weird angles and ability to finish.

McHale showed some coaching ability and strength last night.

 

Yup, though silencing Jon Barry made it awesome and Tirico was definitely into it: The Brewer three and step back by Josh in particular: "He takes it..AND MAKES IT!!!"

 

Well thank goodness Brewer and Smith woke up from their hibernation. That was incredible.

Thank goodness McHale went with the guys that were getting it done for the whole comeback.

Thank goodness that the biggest cheerleader from the bench was James Harden. What a great team.

The pattern to the game started out eerily familiar for a Rockets' playoff game at Staples Center. But instead of giving into the pattern and being weighed down by the Clippers' momentum, these Rockets fought back. And they had enough fight in them to win it. It was great! Loved the game.

 

The face you make when you go grab a sandwich and the rockets were down 17 and return they up 9..… https://t.co/i1skxIyFPb

The Clippers did not close out the 3rd qtr and the Rockets stole the momentum at the beginning of the 4th qtr.

— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 15, 2015

That’s as impressive of a comeback as you’ll ever see ..sheesh. — John Henson (@_John_Henson_) May 15, 2015

Why? You gotta stop complaining to your grocer about your barber…what an amazing turn of events. https://t.co/du26F1NvFy

— Brent Barry (@Barryathree) May 15, 2015

Josh Smith is the hero for the Rockets knocking down 3 three-pointers and scoring 14pts of his 19pts in the 4th quarter! — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 15, 2015

The Clippers are in a world of trouble after not closing out at home in Game 6 and now having to go to Houston for Game 7.

so true!!!

 

Oh, those Magic Johnson tweets. He's something.

 

Now THAT was a comeback for the ages!

 

My favorite about last nighs game? When Dwight knocked Griffin on his ass. That felt gewwd.

 

So proud of these guys!!!!!

"Rockets FANS ON YOUR FEET and PREPARE FOR LIFTOFF for Game 7"

 

This has been one of the craziest playoff series that I can remember. It seems like whichever team can go on an onslaught against the opponent will win. The clippers gave their barrage of punches in the 3rd but the Rockets recovered and came back with their own barrage and then won.

Game 7 is going to be crazy. Both teams have gone through too much to not fight for everything this last game. Cant wait!

 

Just unreal. Nothing like this since 1997 at least for the Rockets..thinking back to Eddie Johnson's shot to beat the Jazz.

Nothing like this in Houston since the 18 inning game and Ausmus' improbable HR to tie that thing up.

What a great moment...so glad I stayed up and got to see it with my son. I'll never forget that!

 

I haven't seen Ballmer sweat that much since his developers speech.

Lol at Magic Johnson's tweets. Reading his stuff is like watching paint dry. That might be the most boring twitter feed that I've ever seen.
