ClutchFans Game Thread: Celtics @ Rockets 12/27/2018

Austin has some dog in his blood. I love the energy our 2nd unit are bringing us since we signed him. The +/- of today's game also tells the same story.

 

Is Kyrie even better than Lillard? That's a serious question.

Kyrie gets massively overrated because his game is pretty to look at, but in terms of production and impact, Kyrie is really not that special.

 

Correction, 7th.

 

good game! playoff atmosphere.

 

Full Game Highlights...

 

It’s still very fluid and a small losing streak can plummet you out. The Rockets are in a good rhythm so hopefully we can keep it up. The Spurs are on our ass.

 

Agreed. We're obviously all dazzled by James right now, but it's worth to spend few words for PJ, i think he has been the most consistent player from the start of the season in terms of heart, energy...i never saw PJ not giving his 101% in a game so far, for all i care, he can miss the next 30 3s and i would still be completely ok with him, i think it's just not possible to not love this guy.

 

At least not a fair one

 

Can’t believe I missed this game. Can’t wait to watch the replay.
Was hitting refresh on the score all second half. Was this our best victory this season?

 

Skip trippin


EDIT: I just realized that it was Kellerman, not Skip, who had Harden as the 7th best player. It all blends together after a while..

 

The unsung hero, and the heart and soul of the team. P.J. Tucker.

 

No question, i never understood from where in the hell the argument "Durant is the best player with Lebron" came out, Durant played with two/three all stars in OKC, never won **** and chocked on multiple occasions, he had to go play with the best team ever to win, and even there, he won cause one time the refs played with his team, the other cause the East was pathetic...not impressed, he's a great scorer, probably the best pure scorer in the league, but he's also overrated as a player and a little b****.

 

I didn't notice the first time, but at 2:52 REALLY wanted Harden to ISO on Kyrie haha. He was like "oh, okay" when Nene got an easy lay up instead.

I really feel like Chriss is good teammate that roots for his guys. It's sad that he will be out of the league soon. Great length, and he's an athlete. I hope he goes over seas or to the g-league and redefines his game, and comes back when he's 26 or so. You can tell that he still has a lot of maturing to do. Maybe a reality check of no longer being in the NBA can help him. Only 21 after all.

 

I think the last-second shot against the Warriors in 2016 placed him on a pedestal in the eyes of a lot of casual NBA fans. And it was a big shot, no doubt. But one shot shouldn't shape the narrative of your entire career. I think Lillard hit a big shot in the playoffs too, but I can't recall against which team because I seem to have wiped it from my memory. But yeah, I don't know if Irving is much better than Lillard at all. Maybe defensively, a bit.

 

Daryl sez:
YOU'RE WELCOME

 

I fear for Eric’s lungs because of the oh snap I have been shot scream after every drive.not sure how much more of it it could take

 

I used to call him a SOB

now I like him after just 2 games

oh, how fickle the heart is..

 

He SURE did. DOUBLE step back. Same thing James was blasted for

 

fify

 

Imagine if any of the top 7 players in Max Kellerman's top player's list was on the same 8 game run as Harden.. The would erect statues in the ESPN offices.. Nobody seems to care.
