ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 1/10/2018

I actually like lillard the player and person (he’s a good guy) but his underdog nobody likes me bs is played out. It was okay 2 years ago but he’s a 7 yr vet on a max deal. Get over it bro.

I do think he would excel playing next to harden tho, Iv always thought that. But what am i saying everyone but Dwight Howard and ty Lawson excel next to harden lol.

The blazer in all honesty need to trade lillard for lottery picks like a Brooklyn Celtics type hiest.

There the same team for 3 years in a row. There good enough to be the 8th seed. The first year after lma left it’s was cute now it’s just pathetic.

Tarik going down sucks. He gets way to much flack around here. He’s a really good backup big man especially a 3rd string center on a minimum deal.

Ppl want bogut for what he did 4 years ago in golden state. He’s been hot garbage ever since. I’ll take black who is young plays hard and is athletic. He was a good find by Morey a few year ago. Glad we got him back.

I love cp3 he’s exactly what harden isn’t and that’s a good thing. We need that guy who will b**** about everything and talk smack to everyone on the court including his own team.

Harden is one of the best and most talent players to ever dribble a basketball and he loves the game and is a winner but cp3 is a psycho, dude is literally crazy when he steps on that court. I love it.

If we can keep cp3 aggressive with his shot when harden and luc return with the emergence of green to go along with Gordon, just wow this team is deep and insanely talented.

 

somebody pls gif it!

 

Gordon & CP3 are amazing, who needs Harden A meh win, not impressed overall with the Blazers being on a back-to-back and giving up 110+. Yes the refs made their impact, but the crying about that hook move is something Harden gets away with too. Black, Green & Tucker were decent. That defense sure needs work, because some of it is clear lack of communication, preparation since good defensive teams create good habits and we still haven't and often a lack of urgency. When you know Aminu burned us last time and you give him a wide open three, that's just not good defense.

 

Scroll back a couple pages. Somebody put up the gif. Everything about it is funny in such a weird way. Check out the scorekeeper lady in the background too.

 

the ladys reaction was HILARIOUS

btw it wasnt a true gif and it lasted a couple of seconds too long

 

that layup was far from being unnecessary

 

Oh sorry, it wasn't a gif, simply a clip. A gif would be great!

 

it wasnt disrespectul
it was 7pts game and they were going for the steal...had cp3 made mistake and turned it over and they score 3 quickly on the other hand it would be a close (one possesion 3+ and1 ) game and it would be prolonged for several minutes with multitudes of FTs and intentional fouling

 

not sure if i saw triple clutch ever in my life

 

Chris Next time don't go in for a layup. Shoot a three instead.

 

Lillard was given a And-one lay up when the ball was under his arm. I don't wanna hear it.

 

Probably one of the most important wins of the season. Big time.

 

He absolutely got it off in time. It was a fluid catch and shoot, which you can do in .9 seconds.

 

The spread was 8. Thank you CP3 for that layup

 

I hope the team talked to Chris last night. That is the CP3 the Rockets need to beat the Warriors.

We need the scorer Chris every bit as much as the facilitator.

 

Surprise surprise OTmax is not happy with the win

 

good win. felt like usual rockets no effort boring win.

 

I hold this team, which in their words are contenders and chasing the Warriors, to high standards. Their play on defense last night was not up to par and hasn't been for quite a while. Missing players is not an excuse for not hustling, losing your man, giving up open shots, not communicating and failing on help side defense and other defensive assignments time after time. I still enjoyed the game, so don't conflate the two.
