ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 1/12/2013

Of course they're beatable, but matchups are never that clear-cut, is my point. An unfocused Clippers team that plays an early Saturday game in party city LA (*cough* hangovers *cough*) and doesn't take the Magic seriously, just lazily assuming that Chris Paul will take over and win it for them at the end, might be more focused against a better team than Orlando like the Rockets. And certainly LA comes out to play against Memphis, with whom they still have bad blood to this day. Do you see what I'm getting at?

 

Games usually last like what? 2hrs 30mins? So around 7pm pst.

 

haha... that's what I meant. I was using West coast time

Rockets and NBA sites both say 6:30. Guess we can start chatting at 6 to get a head start

 

Which was my point as well since some are saying that the Rockets are going to get their ass beat. Not sure why you even replied to me.

 

I think the Rockets lose, but it's gonna be close. We got the Clippers and the Mavs after, so they need to win this one.

 

You're only quoting part of my post I see. It sure sounded like you were trying to correlate a Magic win with a Rockets' win, when in fact those things have nothing to do with each other.

If the point really was as bland as "they can be beaten," then I'm not sure what to say. Since the Clippers aren't somehow unbeaten this season, then of course that's the case. *shrug*

 

Limit turnovers, make the open 3-point shots and free throws, and the Rockets got this.

 

Your point was that there are other factors which I don't see how it relates to what I'm saying.

 

Defense, defense, defense.

 

Thaddeus Young watch.....

 

Magic just won the game at the Clippers' home 104-101.

We must not lose in our mind before actually getting on to the court.

 

This is a good development...Clips will come out super hungry to win against Memphis after this sh!@tty loss, and hopefully will expend all their energy to get this win, while having nothing left in the tank for our game the night after.

 

Sixers probably wishing they kept Iggy and Nicola Vucevic right now instead of trading for Bynum.

 

We should win this game. They are called "Suxers" for a reason

 

I've never heard that.

 

Agree. Like you see throughout every game thread, lots of loser mentality in here. Just give up and assign blame!

 

now you do :grin:

 

Kung Fu fighters better fight to their potential or Master McHale will throw them to the dragon dungeon if they fail.

 

Will Smith, your team is going down buddy!!!

 

lets go rockets.

hopefully we don't have tired legs in the second half.... fourth game in five nights!
