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

this!

 

Harden did well on that possession though.

 

Yea I agree with everything man.

But did u see pop terrible coaching yesterday. He was worst than D’Antoni they had the game and he did nothing when KD was doing all the work. They need one bucket. So I guess it happens but yea totally agree man joe should have been bench and we should have tried green or stick to the other guys

 

Still can't see them in conf finals

 

He could’ve taken it to the rim, again and again, that was the game we were in and JJ IS NOT THAT player anymore that’s why you play GG,

 

This is MDA's fault.

 

He loses his composure too easy and he’s not an alpha player like Harden. The fact that he’s never made it out the second round and his Clippers were known for choking in the playoffs doesn’t sit well with me. Hopefully he can get it together because lately he hasn’t been playing that well.

 

Chris Paul getting pressed in the backcourt and then panicking and throwing a bad that led to an easy Raptor lay up. Ugh....
Vanfleet had him rattled for some reason. One of the rare times this season Paul looked like an old man.

 

I don't mind CP3 coasting/pacing himself but not in games like tonight. He brings just a little more effort and aggression and the Rox win going away. But I'm not worried about CP3 bringing it in the playoffs either.

 

Can’t really count on Lowry and co to be that hot consistently.

They have shown in playoffs that they shrink consistently.

 

CP3 always steps up his game in the playoffs so I’m not sure why

 

The part of the game that really pissed me off in crunch time was CP3 basically right at the basket with the ball in layup territory. A guy came at him and seemed to blow right past him. I was expecting CP3 to just put up a layup and then he disses out to what turns into a turnover. I thought that was a huge play in the game.

 

Van Fleek killing Joe Slow Motion for me Johnson

Chris Paul owned by Lowry

Capela forgetting he’s a center.

Ryno. For missing another game. Yes he’s somewhat still an important 6-7 man rotation of this team.

For all that..... we barely lost to the best team in the east.

Sometimes it’s good to get a wake up call. Look at the clippers game.

 

He played great D on that play. He forced Derozen to take a very hard fade away contested shot and he hit it. Nothing you could have done on that one.

 

Right. It's a number of teams over in the east I wouldn't be surprised at all if they beat them in a series.

 

Wow. It took that much effort to beat us. The Rockets are like GS in that it takes a bad game for us and a great game from the opponent to barely edge out a win. Im very impressed with the way we came back and tied it up. Old Harden would have quit. I saw what I hoped to see from him tonight when everything was going wrong and the spotlight was on him.

It was frustrating to me how we allowed them to run us off the three point line and in to their twin towers. It's a great strategy. Fortunately, not many teams can do that but we need an answer for it. This is a game where we really needed Ryno to pull at least 1 big out of the paint. Gerald Greens quick release could have helped space the floor too.

 

Rockets had 15 assists. Incredible.

 

I think that was Gordon if I am not mistaken. Unless it was another play. Gordon got all the way to the rim and I thought it was a layup and he tried to throw it in the corner.

 

Rockets are 2-1 against GS, Toronto is 0-2

 

Good game, just another regular season loss, move on.
