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

They did an amazing job of running us off the three point line when we passed the ball to the shooter. Got to give them credit, they played really well.

 

My bad. Thx.

 

Let's face it, the Raptors are a bad matchup for us. Harden played like an MVP. I was hoping more from Gordon and Luc. CP's poor game was the biggest surprise for me. Younger PG's give him a hard time on defense. Lowry outplayed him.
This was a game where Ryno could have been useful. Green is rash, but he could have helped a bit.

A defeat makes the team look at itself
in a different way. Don't lose confidence. Try your best.
Go Houston Rockets!

 

Losing this game bothered me a lot more than I thought it would. I felt a lot of "not like this..." towards the end there.

It's a respectable loss, but THIS game being a W may have sent a message that equaled our entire winning streak. Sigh.

I don't think we'll see Toronto again this season, but still..
Why is it always the f'ing Raptors

I can't believe we had that fugly 1st. Game was completely winnable. UgH. Time to go sleep it off.

 

EG and CP BOTH did it. When it’s that close and you’re at the rim go up, screw throwing it to the guy sitting in the corner. That’s the frustrating part of our offense

 

but he hasn't been doing that, he has just been taking threes

 

I’m not gonna lie I’m glad the winning streak is over
I prioritize Health over the 1 seed
We just have to stay healthy and keep harden and CP3s minutes low for this final stretch

 

Today’s type of game is where Ryno is valuable. He would play center and pull JV or any other big out to the three where they would set a 1-5 pick and then isolate Harden on whoever their center is.

Raps are good.

But I feel that the Rox are a bit better.

 

Hell, UH has balls, plays hard, Sampson coaching those kids so well. They may be a HARD out on the tourney. Routing UCF right now

 

At least I got a good "pissed off" workout in during the first half. And, I killed a poor ant.

I love lifting when my teams don't do well.

 

I saw that too. That is what I meant by bad shot selection. CP3 should have taking the layup instead of passing out to the 3 pt line. Gordon did it twice too. They were living by the 3 pts shot and when they don't fall, you die by the 3 pt shots.

 

Surfguy = Brian Cushing

 

It may have been Gordon.

 

I'm glad too. I'm glad Rockets didn't go out like some b****es. They fought.

 

That’s my coach. Great quote.

 

I wasn't even aware Rockets were on a streak.. What streak though?

 

SMH. Good Game - Bad Start Killed us
Kyle was gifted a loose ball foul at the end

Rocket River
I missed most of the game. . its my fault
I'm the bad luck guy cause I was having a stressed day

 

Love the Raptors unis.

Believed it was possible to come back. Fell short. Let’s see what they learn from adversity.

 

to me this is the ideal game to run green because he's our only perimeter guy who can finish above the rim and also grab rebounds there. CLE has TOR's number because lebron basically dunks all over their asses when they try to defend the same way. our guys were passing out instead of even attempting layups -- green would most definitely not be having that. also wouldn't have gotten killed off the dribble like JJ
