ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 4/21/2018 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

I just got dissed by former Rocket and Twolves color commentator Jim Petersen

 

Stop with all ur logic lmao. Please the spurs have nothing with butler wolves would of been 3 seed. So u idiots need to chill. Every singl3 team in the playoffs would sweep the spurs

 

Actually, Anderson played great. He just played too little.

 

I'm not? Even in the 20 pt blowout, watching the game, icattrituvr that to the Wolves just playing horrendously. They sucked balls that game. And I'm not alone in believing this. Read the game thread. Many other fans noticed the Wolves played like ****.

We haven't played a single dominant game where the team was running on cylinders.

The Warriors are a team that can blow out teams even when the opposing team brings their A game.


The Rockets during the regular season showed signs of that also. They haven't this series.

 

*delete*

 

I don't understand why they went away from Anderson in the 3rd quarter he was hitting shots; the defenders were starting to respect that and stick closer to him which was opening the lane. Oh well.

 

Rockets might not be there until lebron joins the squad. You gotta match there big 3 obviously.

 

Straight idiot not even worth expanding on rt

 

He shot the ball well and had some nice plays but there was a stretch in the 3rd in which he repeatedly passed on open shots, which lead to a teammate either bricking a tougher shot or turning it over. Definitely did not help the momentum.

 

The separation between the 3rd and 8th seed in the West isnt much. Also the Spurs were holding on to a top 4 seed for majority of the season with the current roster they have now .

And the Warriors are annialiating them each game without Curry.

 

I’ll fess up. I’m all rockets all the time. My knee jerk negative reactions are because I’m drunk and butthurf about the loss.

I’m basically venting to y’all

 

You know the meaning of "since"

So whos the single rockets player who can get us closer to a chip next to hakeem???

 

Yes, James Harden is easily our best player since Hakeem. No one is denying that but his playoff history with us has been quite troublesome and our Target is beating one of the greatest teams ever assembled.

 

Ok I get what you said. Sorry for my overraction. The way we were losing is just too depressing. If we fight hard and lose, I am ok with it. But this game our effort is not out there.

 

That pissed me off too. James and Chris were too into trying to drive it in themselves tonight. James kept throwing it to PJ when Trevor was wide open too, even though PJ was bricking them all. Ugh. Not only that but Clint and Nene aren't getting involved on offense like we need them to. Part of that comes from the ISO ball we saw tonight, but come on man, 8 shots from our centers isn't enough.

 

Aint worried, we will take game 4 and end it home, however, Anderson and green needs to see the floor more than EG

 

The Pels were a few losses from being out of the playoffs. They just swept the 3 seed. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the Spurs were the least talented team in the West playoffs. Hell is there any single team in the entire playoffs that could play the Spurs and not say they have the best player in the series? Maybe the Heat?

 

The Rockets got bad schedule. The teams that plays early games are usually sweeping games, the latter games not so because they see what other teams are doing. Those 3 game layoffs are killers. We get at least a home game.

 

This. We are awful in sharing ball.

Green and Ryno even did not touch the ball in 1st quarter. Tucker bricked 3 shots in 1 minute.
Harden handled the ball 20s and passed to Tucker for bricking.
