ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 12/11/2018

So this is what happens when you have a bench? How interesting.

Also....

“Winning’s hard in the NBA, and we almost forgot how hard you have to play,” said D’Antoni. “Tonight’s the way we should win, the way we should play … the West is tough"

See? Nothing to worry about. All they need to do is play Phx and Portland and all will be right in RocketsLand.

 

So, thinking about the game last nite.....

( Anyone else here got excited when Capela fouled out, knowing Nene would replace him at the end? Damn.... )

 

Gotta say, offensively.....I am really tired of the Rockets "playing the clock." Just run your damn system and get a good shot. Team becomes super predictable at the end of the shot clock. Enough.

 

.....sure.

 

Look that’s how you block with good timing. Even though Nene can hardly lift off. Clint needs to learn to stay put on impossible block attempts and get a better timing. He can be a blocking machine if he didn’t go all the time for blocks. One because his timing is off and another to psyche the other player. Clint is kinda predictable. Players know he will give them enough space out on the perimeter and that he will time his jump off or on the first fake attempt.

 

can you find the other nostradamus who sad Nene is the most pointless player in the nba or something to that effect just before he went off?

 

thanks!

 

I love wasting a third of the season to finally remember you have to play hard. What a dumb season this has been.

 

I grew to hate those pre game or after game comments. They should record it and press the Play Button.

 

AWESOME

 

one thing that went unnoticed is how good harden become at those little floaters/runners, imho this was a big hole in his game earlier, now he seems to added that to his repertoire..3rd quarter was all brimming with those floaters

 

The exchange in the replies is pretty funny.

 

Your in luck, we will probably waste at least another 3rd of a season doing the same thing.

Wasn't their another incarnation of the Rockets that thought they could coast through the regular season and then flip the switch and suddenly beat everyone?

Hmm, troubling strategy when your #14 in the west and only the top 8 team go to the playoffs. Are we certain our guys know this?

 

Whoa.. Just checked the box score and saw how sh1tty Paul's tri-dub was.

2-12 FG and 11 points

The lone turnover is the most impressive happening.

Really hope his contract doesn't kill us.

 

It isn't already?

 

Ha! The announcers just said greenhouse effect during the Memphis game. They gave credit to somebody named Chris White from Twitter. I don’t know who Chris white is but he owes me a shoutout. Lol.

 

i thought that was you
