ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 5/9/2017 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 5)

Guy, it's not an excuse. You're saying fatigue isn't a thing. The IQ on you is astounding

 

My comment was specifically about Aldridge in ot you quoted. Just **** up with your im tired agenda. Talk again when you hear actual players say we lost this game bc we're tired

 

There isn't one reason we lost. But playing a 7 man rotation was certainly one.

Why did you think people were saying "Nene being out really hurts."

Why do you think people thought Parker loss was big? Why do you think Pop played a completely inexperienced player? It was because he knew he needed to give Mills some rest, he can't have him playing the entire game. Pop actually understands that it's better to play inexperienced guys than run your guys to the ground. Nearly everyone, even NBA forums are saying "Rockets probably should play more players." Yet, you're saying it had 0 effect.

I guess. You're welcomed to your opinion, I just think it is flat out wrong.

 

Its funny, i thought fatigue had a "hand" in our loss. Not the sole factor. Which is why I said coach has some blame.

Your r****ded ass came in acting like fatigue doesn't exist. Do me a favor, go outside, run until you drop dead. We will all get on here afterwards and call you a p***y for not enduring fatigue

 

Give it up man. Logic can't fight stupidity.

 

Does fatigue exist? Does coaching exist? Does defense exist? Does clutch exist? do WE even exist???

YOLO out here getting existential. Who even knows anymore

 

When people are using fatigue as the excuse in a game hou was in a position to win doesn't mean much to me. So if hou actually got the stop on the Danny green possession and closed out the game with fts are we having this same discussion about guys being fatigued. I don't think so

 

Do stops even exist? Does Danny green exist?

 

Again assumption. so if hou got the stop they needed and closed it out in a ft game, are you still here crying about how fatigued the players are

 

None of this counters anything I've said.

Again, they win this game in the 4th, no OT, if they played their pace. They could not play their pace through a full game, in fact, they never have. Usually if they play their pace long enough they blow out the Spurs and are watching the bench finish the game.

 

Yup, cuz a 7 man rotation isn't sustainable. It's not about fatigue dude, it's more about coaching.

reasons we lost:

Harden played like crap in the second, didn't attack the hole - that's on him

Missed open shots - obviously on those players

Got out rebounded - some of that is on the players, some of it on coach for the small ball lineup

Fatigue - to me that's on coach for playing seven guys

 

Also, them being in the game is terrible excuse for your argument.

Using this logic, Harden's TOs had no effect. After all, they were still in the game right?

 

I don't agree here. This game was not going to be a blowout like any of the other 4 games

 

And Nene's injury is not impactful, cuz we were still in the game

 

Awwwww **** y'all! Blowouts don't exist now

 

Goes back to my point about who wants it more and who executes when it is truly needed. You guys might expect a pretty game and all making shots etc. but it's not going to be that way. This was a true grind it out playoff game.

 

Oh ok I guess expecting a quarterfinal game in game 5 is supposed to be another blowout bw two teams pretty evenly matchup. What a dumb post

 

Nene was probably to tired

 

Why is game 5 different? Every other game was a blowout. It's not impossible.
