ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 3/9/2018

Don't be lol. I've been watching this guy a long time. He's still got it.

He's trying to cheat the game by coasting on this loaded team though. Can't stand it.

But on the whole, he is every bit as good as he's been since 2014-ish. And this guy hasn't had a bad playoff series in half a decade.

 

Ummmkay. We will just agree to disagree on this

 

I'm sure i'm not the only, but seriously was my first time i had heard of VanVleet.. unfortunately, i know who he is now lol

 

Well, Capella got his sh_t stuffed at the end of the game trying to dunk. That was his huge lowlight. That was a basket we needed badly.

 

meh, they can have their little moral victory. We're chasing rings, not bragging rights.

 

Time to start a new win streak

 

Ah well, playing 8 straight games against winning teams, even a team as good as this one can't win them all.

Started very poorly, didn't shoot well, and still had it tied late.

 

I hate that Harden guarded Demar on his last shot jumper. That's what we have Luc and Ariza for. Defenders with length. Harden did okay but he's too short. Demar always gets high on his jumpshots.

 

No need to call out the coaching staff and some of the players, it was a nice streak, you win some you loose some, we still number 1, we will be ok.

 

Now let's cheer for the Blazers to beat the Curry-less Warriors

 

Pretty much need to drive and shove it down their throats like harden did tonight.

I don't mind layup drills.

 

One of those times VV blew by JJ so fast that JJ reached out to foul him and whiffed, that RIGHT there should’ve been enough to sit him

 

W

e are tied right now w gs and if they lose today or next game we will be up again and back at it. Maybe back into another 17 win streak.

Would’ve great to get homecourt but yea I don’t want our players to be gassed by playoffs time. Would mean even more if we beat the warriors with they having home court. Everyone says they don’t need it but Houston must get it or we stand no chance to beat them if we don’t.

That would be even sweeter to prove them wrong and win it that way. But still it would be nice to get home court.

Tonight it was a playoffs atmosphere and we were down by a lot yet we still fought back. This was a good test for us and we might have lost but it was a great almost comeback.

 

Harden did ok defensively, they were switching defenders the last 2 minutes.

 

3rd game out of 4 nights and on a big winning streak. That drains you so not mad about the loss but proud of the team for fighting back. Tired legs affected our 3 point shot tonight and we were a CP3 3 away from winning. However i am sad the streak is over now

 

I knew he was good. I saw some of his work, but I was still incredulous.

I believe now. He worked JJ and CP3 into the dust. He only had a handful of points, but it felt like he had 30.

 

Green hasn't been shooting well when he has played lately. Sure he can get hot, but lately he shot pretty bad taking bad shots.

 

I wish somebody in the media will ask Dantoni why he keeps insisting on putting JJ in the game when he doesn't produce and give GG DNPs

 

Some weaknesses were exposed against probably the 3rd best team in the league so sometimes it’s good to learn from it and move on.

 

He did but he got it back on a steal on the other end. So we got our chances.
