ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 3/6/2017

The Cavs don't do it for you anymore?

 

Trap game for the Spurs. We are going to show that the last lost was a fluke. Spurs got by with bogus calls and god-gifted 3s.

 

Watch out Timmy, he's coming for your woman.

 

Wanna be a championship contender, gotta come out and win games like this one.

 

Rockets crush Spurs so ESPN can stop calling Kawhi MVP.

 

Is it wrong for me to want the Rockets to beat the Spurs just so it will make Michelle Beadle unhappy?

 

It's 2017, these are not the right times to be humble!

 

If I was single, I would have loved for an opportunity to make her unhappy.

 

The Spurs are a helluva team w/one of the greatest coaches of all time. If you make mistakes down the stretch, they WILL come back and take those games...lot of that recently....But, not tonight. It's time for them to lose....big...and we're just the team to do it. CC's getting his mojo back and James will be Bearding. Bombs away from our air squadron. Rockets roll as we come together for our late push.

 

not at all

 

Depends on how hot she is

 

Tough matchup - probably an L.

DD

 

She looks like she eat da booty

 

i noticed that too, as soon as westbrook is starting to string together more losses and loses his triple double average. The ESPN starts pushing Kawhi for MVP. Kerri Champion was really trying to deny Marc Spears from saying Harden was the MVP. She clearly had an agenda with her segment.

 

Depends, on how well we shoot the ball...

 

I really need the Rockets to beat the Spurs and the Hawks to beat the Warriors tonight. Please, basketball gods.....please.

 

I'd really like to know what the criteria are for Harden getting the MVP in the minds of most sportswriters who get to vote.

With Westbrook, conventional wisdom seems to be if he averages a triple double and if his team wins say 48-50 games, he's the MVP. Certainly if the Thunder beat out Utah for the division, he would be a lock.

With Kawhi making a late push, it seems like his fate is tied to the #1 seed. If the Spurs get that, he'll get a lot more support. Maybe not enough to win the award, but he'd be a strong contender.

With LeBron, it's because he's LeBron, and his team is the defending champion, has the best record in the East, and the 4th best record in the NBA.

With Harden.....what is it exactly? His numbers are certainly MVP worthy. He's had some historical games including two 50-point triple doubles(including the first and only 50-15-15 performance). He's had late game heroics like the comeback win vs Chicago, the pass to Nene against OKC, and all the assists as well as the defense against Wiggins in that comeback at Minnesota. And his team has far surpassed anyone's preseason expectations, even the most diehard Rockets fans on this site.

Is there one stat or accomplishment that would put Harden over the top? If the Rockets match or surpass the 1994 title team's franchise record of 58 wins, would that be enough? If Harden dominates tonight vs the Spurs, Sunday vs the Cavs, and on March 26 vs the Thunder, would that be the statement the media is looking for? If the Rockets finish with a better record than Cleveland and at least 10 games ahead of OKC, would that do it? Or is this a case of every other MVP contender having to lose the award first before Harden can win it?

 

I'm rocking a black harden jersey at the game so that would be awesome

 

Rockets are about to fall off the page........

 

So Offensive ratings is literally off the charts, with average defense.
