ClutchFans Game Thread: Raptors @ Rockets 3/25/2016

I don't think Howard cared to play.

One of those games where he just made dumb fouls, got frustrated, then made more dumb fouls

 

Did anybody notice Patrick Beverley tonite? Or do we only mention Pat after a bad loss

 

Hassan Whiteside matched a career-high with 26 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks off the bench

 

I agree...meanwhile...

Yes .

 

I noticed Patrick Patterson.

 

I'm tired of the raps stealing our players. Watching Lowry , Scola, 2Pat et al with them just made me feel like we lost them on a drunken casino gamble.

 

i picked up bev on my fantasy team. as should anyone else who needs his stats.

i said earlier his overrated status is bs and been shutting down lowry going 4-18. than a bev only hater tried to school me. i told him "w/e b****, he can kick your ass 1on1. i dare you to challenge him."

 

Lowry is trash, he's still an emotional lesbian and chokes in late game situations. That Toronto team will never get out of 1st round no matter how well they do in regular season.

 

Are the Raps usually this whiny?

 

First off, great WIN!! It's kinda frustrating that Rockets, this season, are really Jekyll and Hyde.

Howard was just not into the game last night. I don't know what it is with Howard at times. He just doesn't seem engaged when he doesn't get involved offensively...but then, he doesn't set the picks and he doesn't roll hard enough to put himself in position to score (Every other big, gets plenty of opportunities - it is time people saw that Howard might be the main culprit when it comes to his reduced FGA).

Also, he wasn't aware of anything that was happening on the offensive end - there were a couple of passes, that resulted in TOs because Howard just did not even anticipate them coming. On top of that he wasn't even playing well defensively, he committed stupid foul after foul after foul, had his usual goaltend (I still don't get why he keeps doing that - that's free points for the other team).

If a certain other player on this team EVER had a performance like this, I can guarantee that there'd be NOT ONE 'The day he lost the city of Houston' thread but multiple 'the day he lost the city of Houston' threads.

Other than that, I really liked how the team came out. They were hustling, played fast, hit the boards, moved the ball and defended pretty well.

I always loved Lowry, but I would be absolutely floored at him and Derozen for getting ejected with just a few minutes to go and within striking distance if I were Casey...

On a personal side note, WHO THE HELL PRACTICES BASS GUITAR AT 550am?!? I hate my neighbor.

 

Much needed win. They will have to win out if we won't that 6th seed.

 

I guess fat boy Harden did ok last night?

 

yep Fatboy produced like he usually does including a triple double and muscular super man got his 2 points and 5 rebounds doing what he usually does

 

Agreed, he cried like a girl after the Nets beat them in the first round two years ago.

 

Why did the Rockets trade Patterson again? Wasn't it for Thomas Robinson and Francisco Garcia?

What was the point?

 

Garcia's lockdown defense on Durant? How could you forget?

:grin:

 

Is there ever a point to a lot of the trades? I still don't know about the pick we got from NO for Asik, or the picks we got for trading Morris who we picked up at 14th. Everybody here creams their pants over trading for a mid 1st rounder only to realize we probably used it for a salary dump.
