ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 11/29/2017

Yeah, Fakers, then another 4 day break until the j*zz, ugh. This is almost as bad as all star break.

At least it gives the guys a nice rest.

 

Thats a game I have circled and am looking forward to also lol. Its the 3rd seed in the west thats 3 games behind us...

Its def a big game and a good test. Ill be in the building. Hope we blow em out but just get a W.

 

We have a 3 game road trip followed by a 7 game homestand following it. Portland and San Antonio are the only tough games on paper. All 10 look winnable. As for now @DreamShook ...

 

Why can't we have nice things, hmm?

 

Lol grab him quick while hes hot

 

I hope they let ariza sit a few games the second half of the season. Be nice if Troy could give us a lil somethin somethin

 

We don't need rest in December haha. But practice wouldn't hurt, I guess.

With Texans/Texas sucking I have nothing left worth watching. Le sigh

 

What the **** is this? It made me lol though.

@Mathrocker better catch u on the jumbotron brah. Not sure you'd fit on the whole screen, but at least try.

Without Kawee, it's a solid game just cause it's SA. But it's meaningless if youre comparing it to how good it'd be WITH Kawee.

And no, no one's gonna go easy on @Reeko.

Dude walks around with a buttplug. Ain't no respect for that.

I got some sick moves man. wait till they see this big boy doing that backpack kid dance.

must see TV

 

If I was there, I'd encourage a standing ovation.

****, I'd go to watch you. Forget the game.

I wouldn't say its meaningless, its not meaningless. SA, like Memphis has always been a tough opponent for us. They play to their strengths, are tough mentally and always great on defense. SA is a real team, their strength is in each other and they win together and lose together but not one player will ever disrupt their flow or strategy. Kawhi makes them better, no doubt about that but SA without him is not just solid. SA without Kawhi is still a machine and while they will miss his defense and scoring that engine will not run any less efficiently because efficiency is what they do.

These games are so important for Houston, these games are the ones where they can actually face mental toughness and a consistent team that will not beat themselves. SA has seen it all, they wont be nervous or panic on Harden and Paul. They will come out and play ball the same way they have been for the past 15 years with or without Kawhi. As for Houston, this is a huge game and very meaningful. This is where Harden and Paul can overcome past individual failures and come together to beat an actual system. Heck it could be a blowout in our favor but that does not mean that the test is not real or not a game they should be waiting for. Because these are the games that will get them ready for the postseason.

 

Do you agree it's no way as meaningful as with Kawee?

And secondly, do you agree Pop throws curve balls for regular season stuff?

This was a really good win. Pacers were healthy, playing well and came out with energy.

 

I keep telling people Harden is a great on ball defender... he can literally guard 1-5 on the post & generally plays great defense on ISO’s.

His ineptude is off the ball since he has a bad habit (which by now, i’m just accepting that he’ll always have this flaw) to stare at the ball handler and leave his man open. This leaves him subjected to biting on pump fakes & giving away open threes.

His bad transition D is due to not wanting to get in foul in trouble & he knows no one wants the franchise player taking a charge or going airborn backing up against a bigger player. When it’s a smaller less athletic player he generally always challenges.

 

What's happening people! We are on a roll atm, and it's looking like no defence can stop us atm. BUT our schedule for December is looking quite tough especially towards the end where we have Pistons, Celtics, Wizards and a couple other teams.

Anyways enjoy my top 5 plays vs Pacers guys, peace!

 

Too bad, hope they will get well soon, and give the team some good minutes.
