ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 12/13/2018

Wrong... per the ewj. Friggin negative Nancy..

 

it seems like Murrey made a mistake paying clark more over house

 

Man, Luka was getting round the clock publicity for blocking Lebron twice in the same play, but scoring only 6 points and losing.

Harden dunks on Inglewood and scores a 50pt triple double and he can barely get a highlight.

 

It's like hating the Rockets is in his contract. It's bizarre. Someone watching TNT who didn't know him would never Dream that Kenny got rings while in Houston. Heck, that he ever played for Houston. Too strange.

 

Nope Ernie openly bashed Harden during Westbrook Fake MVP year

 

Here's the link for the stat if anyone else was interested in the full list like I was:

For all those who gripe about Harden's FTs tonight:

In Jordan's most prolific scoring year, he reached 50+ points 8 times and averaged 19.9 FTA in those games. He averaged 12 per game for that whole season. This isn't new, Harden's just good and free throws come with that territory. If you can't stop the guy legally, eventually you'll try cheating the system.. and you'll get caught.

 

its called smart business, rockets cant even fill their own arena on most nights so why would fans from other cities ever wanted to hear of them?

 

good post but i have lost you at "One on One as a Guard"

 

called it the first time i saw him play dont forget his driving and slashing abilities, and the haircut and being hustonian

 

One thing though, a sign that he is tired. In the same article.

 

no mention of nene's ejection for complaining about bs calls. bspn whores

 

Just near the end of the third quarter on reply.

I’ve thought maybe six or seven times tonight.

Jesus Christ Chris Webber is a f*cking horrendous commentator now.

I remember when he had a word limit on things he could say as the third commentator, and he was brilliant, offering great insight as a former player.

Now he’s a 100% shill.

It’s no wonder the average fairweather fan hates harden, when you’ve got idiots like Webber saying “that’s no foul, where’s the foul” on a play where Lonzo BLATANTLY puts his shoulder into harden.

F*ck off Webber you sell out.

I’m glad you got screwed by the Lakers now.

 

Guys you're welcome. I take full credit for this win.

 

The hardest thing I’ve seen for rockets this year is ability to play defense and I think a big part is this is the new freedom of movement rule change. This made it harder for teams to play defense and score. That’s why the Kings and all these young teams are excelling right now. If you look at past rockets teams. Our defense was very high level do to our switching sceme, this freedom of movement rule makes it very hard to switch and stay an effective defense. The rockets offense in the past 5-6 seasons heavily came from ability to get steals, get into passing lanes, break up those passes and get easy fast break buckets. Do to rule change, and injury’s this has been tough to adjust to.

 

It's clear as day that the mainstream media/commentators follow narratives & use that to influence fans opinions. Harden completely destroyed the Lakers. He embarrassed Lebron (as hes done everytime he plays him). Yet Webber spent most the game crying what is & what isnt a foul. Of course they kissed Lebron's azz all game too. If Lebron got a 50pt triple double the media would be talking about it for MONTHS. I hate the media bias

 

James Harden I believe can get a 70 pt, 15 reb, 15 ast, He has that type of high skill

 

Again, Id like to look at our defense in the 4th quarter, I think we were trapping Lebron? Either I think mixing in switching with other defense might actually confuse other teams haha.

 

Yea, I think I know what he meant but having seen that era not sure that would be factual, Must google

 

Well he is LBJ so there's that but I hear ya.

Webber was gagging on that LA pole last night. He made me absolutely MISS a guy like Hubie Brown who sounds like a down-the-middle -guy after that crap last night.

I
