ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 5/3/2017 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 2)

Kawhi shot 81% from the field. Any time a team's franchise player goes on a such a shooting spree, that team usually wins. Compare that to Harden's 17% shooting and it doesn't take much to figure out why the Rockets lost. However, the law of averages will bring Kawhi back to earth and also help lift Harden from the shooter's dungeon as well.

 

47-32 rebound edge to the Spurs. Spurs got all of the 50/50 rebounds. That was the main thing I was watching for in this game.

Rockets need to do a better job of being more aggressive defensively and get those rebounds.

Need bounce back game from our MVP, Harden. I think I saw he was 1-8 FGs in the lane. In the past some of those would have been trips to the FT line. Harden has to get back to getting those layups or stop short and use his jumper.

 

with Parker out:

I fear they will rally around this

AND

That we will relax


Horrible combination!

 

Someone tweet Harden to take some Alka Seltzer Cold Formula. It works, but it does make your BMs really dry and slightly painful.

 

Look at the hysteria here over one game ....It's one loss and we are still in the drivers seat folks

 

Those 13 turnovers during the last game of the Conference Finals against the Warriors were very sketchy..

 

Nothing. The Rockets had a 33pt lead in game 1.....what did that mean to the Spurs in game 2? Nothing.

We're back home now, and Parker was looking fantastic for them in game 2. He was back to his old bag of tricks with his drives to the rim.

Him not being there for them the rest of the series is huge.

 

It is huge for sure. So much of the Rockets success seems to be between their ears. If they can focus on execution a little better for the entire series they should win. I do not like the way they came out after a win. Same urgency EVERY GAME. That is playoff ball. Last night looked like we were playing a regular season game. Of course, game 1 SA looked like that.
