ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 5/2/2018 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 2)

harden started lighting up and role players were bricking, hence the 3rd and 4th foul to shut down rockets. refs wanted harden out of the game real bad

 

This is a very bad loss, considering how raucous Utah's home court will be in games 3 and 4.

Honestly...the Rockets haven't had a single game yet in these playoffs where they played well for all 4 quarters. They just don't look efficient out there.

 

The Rockets have won without playing complete games. It caught up to them. The Jazz are no joke. Defensive adjustments need to be made.

 

If they had even an inkling of chemistry in dropping on screens instead of switching, maybe this could've been mitigated.

Vegas has Houston as MASSIVE favourites for a reason. I expect a blowout win next game.

But anyone expecting Chris Paul to dominate while having no pop option or ball movement in the pick and roll...Don't get your hopes up.

 

This.

 

yea but Ryno has a MEAN inbound bounce pass

 

for real, dude didn’t even score and couldn’t even be trusted with 10 minutes of PT

he is literally a waste

 

Was Ryno disaster or was the team as a whole disaster in the 1st half? Cant put it on just one player.

 

Is that you Dali Lama

 

The Rockets officially have no chance against the Warriors.....

 

And now we have to play in the toughest environment in basketball. Maybe we can comeback from a 3-1 deficit

 

melo would still be a better piece than Ryno, westbrick makes everyone around him worse than they really are

 

Lol

 

I think you have stated your own phycological changes during the game, probbaly not from the players, but do from the fans.

at the first half of the third quarter, we got back and led the game by 4 pts, i also thought finally we were about to win.

Utah is a tough team, and they beat OKC in the first round. If we were playing OKC, we would also expect difficulties.
so take it easy, still 5 games to play.

 

But they have a legit star already in mitchell. Just prove how good Mitchell and how bad Hayward really is

 

what might really shock your noodle is, are the pelicans better than the jazz. lol

 

I blame all of those pundits saying a Rox warriors WCF was a given. You have to earn every victory

 

Totally understandable

 

Some of y'all are really soft AF.

Stop acting like 1 loss and the series is over. That's ridiculous and an embarrassing mentality.
