ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 1/3/2019

We need as much firepower as we can get for this one. We've been seriously depleted lately.

 

Im on the just rest and take the L boat

Why rush guys back over a 50-50 game at best when fully healthy with cp3

 

Exactly- for the Warriors

 

Lulz, we should pull a Pops and sit Harden and PJ, not showing our hand to GSW for them to go to school on.

Start Melo, haha.

Too bad we don’t still have Zhou Qi for all the Bay Area Asian fans

 

I would like to see Adam Silver's face if D'Antoni did that.

 

I guess many live down there in the Bay area but I guess not many visit the arena every game.

 

GO ROCKETS!!!

 

What amount of tremendousness will this game tell us about the season?

 

I think Adam Silver is a huge Warriors fan, so he probably wouldn't mind.

 

Wow, banned? We have people in here who post "I hate" threads about our own players all the time and don't get banned.

 

Doesn't that really depend which EGO shows up? The one who shoots 1-12 from behind the arc won't help, but the one who muscles in to the rim more or goes 5-11 from behind the arc will.

 

Honestly, we need another consistent scorer who can play defense on this team when Paul is resting or hurt to beat the Warriors. They just have too many great shooters, and we have too many hot and cold ones, other than James.

We can win if all or most of the following happen:

Our streaky shooters get hot, their shooters start shooting bricks, Harden gets calls when whacked, Curry doesn't get calls every time a finger touches him, Clint avoids foul trouble and can slam in some alley oops, Donkey doesn't get away with his usual dirty deeds, the refs don't fall for their ghost foul flops, we play good defense, we dominate the boards, and we don't get careless or lazy with the ball handling. That's a lot of stars to align, but it is possible.

 

I swear "Donkey" has to be one of my favorite nicknames for an opponent I hate, for just soooo many not so flattering reasons.

I always thought "THe Mailman", cause he delivers was a great classic nickname too, even though most people hated Malone....LOL. I wish Harden had a better nickname. The Beard is just a look really, and makes me think of Santa, Abe Lincoln, baseball players, and mountain men. He needs a new one, more fitting to his performance.

 

i would rather sit him than gamble on which one shows up....

 

He's been driving for the past 7+ games.

 

I gotta be fair this was only a second (aggregated offense) that got me banned because i was a repeated offender, the first one was when i posted a thread named
Who got the most FTs for Christmas
and Harden was not near the top of the list

12 Embiid
10 Westbrook
9 Gobert/Brook Lopez/Tatum
8 LeBron/Durant
7 Ben Simmons/Harden/Kuzma/Giannis

i also have had yet another offense that i wasn't sanctioned for before and should of been but the moderator has given me a benefit of the doubt because it wasn't clear to him then that i clearly have an agenda
( i posted the famous cf video called kawhis ever-changing pivot foot)

Spoiler: conclusion

Media conspiracy is real

 

would be nice to have CP3 but oh well.

 

Kelly Iko is reporting that Ennis will be back, but not Gordon. Predictable, but still a bummer.

 

Just rewatched highlights from Games 5,6, and 7 last year against these b****es. Man we got screwed in game 7, the referees were absolutely atrocious. Also, the Worriers looked like a deer in headlights for much of Game 7, we would've won had the refs not given them a window.

My hatred against these a***holes is renewed for 2019, the Rockets MUST prevail this year, good or bad refereeing i don't give a damn. On the bright side, I think we should be slightly better this year with the slashing ability of House, Rivers, and Ennis. Luc and Ryno were basically useless in that series, our new guys should make up for it.
