ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 5/1/2017 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 1)

For some reason the media is saying that James Harden didn't have a good game! whats going on here? 20pts 14asts 4stls is not a good game?

 

No triple double...it doesn't count.

 

sometimes I wonder about NBA coaches. Once I realized the game was 100% over in the second half I would've just kept calling LAs number and had him post up every play. you might get lucky and he finds his rhythm going forward which would really help them in the playoffs.they are going to need him to win this series.

 

The subtle Joe Cool look down is effective too.

Uhhh.... because in that time he was on the floor, we had already built a huge lead and bombed 1000 threes. LOL

Edit: Meant to quote commodore post of how LMA sucked so bad with a -36 in 25 mins.

 

Pop is a douche. When he wins its all good, but when he loses he turns into westbrook.

 

Eh, just people that looked at the box score and wanted to see monster stats. When reality is, with out James very few of those threes happen.

 

14 assists, and he only attempted 13 total FGs

 

Les better wring some necks if they do anything to Nene.

Is there any sort of appeal process for league disciplinary decisions, or do you just have to cop it?

 

In only 2.5 quarters.

 

Who in the media is saying that? Is it idiots like that dude with the dreads on SportsNation?

 

he seems to be that way almost all the time if u ask me, he just gets away with it because he's Pop

 

Any of y'all have a clip of that pick Capela set on someone (I think Neal?) in the backcourt to give Harden space. He hit him from the back, blindside, similar to Adams' screen on Bev.

 

Interesting stat from Jonathan Feigen article in Chronicle:

The Spurs' big men – Aldridge, Pau Gasol and David Lee – former All Stars all, combined for 14 points, with as many turnovers (4) as field goals. Clint Capela alone outscored them, finishing with 20 points and 13 rebounds in just 25 minutes.

 

Nene better not get suspended, that grab was nothing, yet stupid at the same time

 

.

 

Dan from HQ said Harden didn't have that good a game and some on ATH were saying that Harden and Kawhi had similar stat lines..

Kawhi put up numbers, but he was pretty much neutralized. Harden was picking apart the Spurs. It's funny when CP3 has a 28pt 8ast game, it's deemed "transcendent", but Harden doesn't have a good game with 20pts and 14asts.

Harden the only player on earth that gets penalized because his teammates hit shots.

 

it's a testament to Harden's greatness that 20 and 14 could equal not having a good game

lol that would be a career game for most dudes in the NBA

 

next series it will be Durant, curry, klay, and green have no help

all joking aside, pops is the goat coach for a reason and the spurs will be fighting for their playoff lives in game 2.
