ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 4/5/2018

Yes because if there's anythign like the cauldron of pressure in which Choke City/Clutch City legends are forged, it's a meaningless play-out-the-season game for both teams in which the primary controversy is whether or not you should even have your rotation players check into the game, that you ended up winnign anyway with a buzzer beater.

This game tonight (and the next 3) are arguably less important than preseason.

 

So you did enjoy his late game collapse with the turnovers and missed free throws. Wow.

 

A layup in basketball is a two-point shot attempt made by leaping from below, laying the ball up near the basket, and using one hand to bounce it off the backboard and into the basket. The motion and one-handed reach distinguish it from a jump shot.

 

I love being a Houston sports fan right now.

 

- I have no problem annoying dumb people. Period.
- Um no... I debated with you about CP3 not playing at a high level since he was and gave you a plausible reason why he may not be playing as aggressively.

You said he handled double teams poorly. I am telling you that you are flat out wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt. You told me I wasn't seeing things. I clapped back that you need to learn how to watch the game if you didn't see Harden correctly kick out on the double only to watch his support players brick wide open corner bunnies that they HAVE TO HIT.

I argue against stupidity. Don't want me to argue with you, don't say stupid **** like Harden handled the doubles poorly. if you had a smart argument that Harden needs to hit those clutch FT's, I wouldn't argue that point at all.

 

Exactly, Paul wasn't laying the ball up. His shot is more accurately described as being a floater.

 

Did they win?

 

But they didn't. They WON. WAS it ugly? Sure but a W IS A W.

 

No you didn't. If you did, I wouldn't be calling it dumb. Choking implies us making mistakes on our own and giving up the game in the process. Blazers played very good D in that stretch and hit some really hard shots. Give credit where credit is due. We didn't choke, they just played great and still came up short.

 

Harden had a nick anderson moment, he needs to get spank big time cause he almost cost us.
But all in all 20th home winning streak baby

I was listening on the radio... wtf was that.

 

I'm not sure why you're debating my point. I'm not criticizing the Rockets, I'm making a logical point about what the term choking means, and that it doesn't matter what seed you're playing. My point has nothing to do with disappointment in the Rockets, and I am glad that they won.

 

I can tell you this

When Harden goes to the line in crunch time, I really don't have much confidence that he will hit both free throws. In many instances it's a split

he just seems to freeze in those moments

 

You're right, it's one or the other, how it could be a combination of the two? In a world where you believe you're "absolutely" right, how could anyone argue your point?

Lol, your stubbornness is laughable, and your arguments are not nearly as solid as you believe.

 

A floater or tear drop as it's also called, is also a type of layup.

 

LOL that's funny. Well you keep stupidly believing we choked away a game that we actually won and I will correctly believe we withstood a very good team that blitzed us with good, aggressive D while hitting extremely difficult shots for the win.

What's laughable is your insistence on being wrong.

 

Yes, but still you dont want to see your team lose.. esp to these guys... while being up double digits.. but I agree with you.

 

We need to win 65 games......64 win teams are 0-3 while 65 win team are 3-0

 

Too bad i never said Chris was playing bad. I just said he was probably playing on an injury for not even trying to attack bigs after a switch after multiple occasions (and as it turned out he was injured), but for some reason you felt the need to telling me between the lines i was dumb cause in your vision i was basically saying something like "why in the **** Chris is not attacking bigs!? Is he injured or he just sucks?".

On James well, again, i was obviously speaking in general (just re-read the post, seems pretty clear to me), but you just took one thing in the post and make it look like i was saying "Harden sucks because he's not passing out of the double team", ok

Maybe there should be other paladins like you around just to check if there's someone making up arguments by twisting posts just to argue with people for no reason while calling them stupid.

 

Can we just call it a layup for the purposes of talking some smack back to CJ
