ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Knicks 1/23/2019

Pablo Prigioni did a good job for the rockets, and he was a play maker back when rockets came back from 3-1 playoff deficit against the clippers back when cp3 was with clippers in 2016.

As much as you (ryano2009) hype up capaela as 3rd best, we need to expect to see capaela get a clutch bucket in the "post" kinda like how Gordon hit a clutch 3 against the Lakers with 30secs left to tie the ball game.

My thing with capaela do you really know what to expect game after game from him? Well, I'm not the paying the man but capaela got 80 million in the bank.

so youre quoting yourself now?

 

Harden is going to burn out at some point, not that happy when Harden can just shoot 20 threes. His supporting cast is not that bad is it? Is he chasing numbers now for “his legacy” or is he really doing everything he can to win? Serious question..

 

James Harden is making the absurd seem commonplace. 61 points, 15 rebounds, and he would've had 10 assists too if some of our supporting cast could hit the broad side of a barn, especially in the first half.

That said, Ennis played pretty well, and Eric Gordon was once again clutch. The end of games is one time where I can always count on EGo to make the right play, and none were bigger than his last 3.

This may have been the worst game I've seen PJ play, but these games come once in a blue moon for everyone, and the Rockets came away with a victory so I'm not too down on him.

 

right now his teammates are worse than kobe's teammate's in 2005-06.

kobe still had lamar odom who is better than anybody on the rockets and for as much as people like to talk **** about smush parker, he averaged almost 12 ppg shooting 45% from the field and 37% from 3.


if harden's teammates could hit wide open shots, play better defense, and look competent with him off the floor he wouldn't have to do this.

outside of gordon and tucker, it;s a bunch of g-leaguers and 10th man caliber players on good teams.

it is what it is until capela and the $160 million man gets back.

even then they're still gonna need 30 ppg from harden to compete with the warriors and thunder of the league.

 

What about those 15 boards and 3 steals along with the 61 points. 15 rebounds. Man. This man is everything for this team

 

GOAT

 

This!!!!!!!

 

and gordon is kinda 10th man caliber player himself

he is doing his best impression of corey brewer

 

Harden is absolutely dragging this team to victories. All the supporting cast has to do is make open shots and play defense...and they aren't doing either.

Just survive for the next few weeks.

 

Harden didn't hesitate to make that pass to gordon at the end of regulation when Gordon hit that 3 to tie the game against Lakers saturday.

If it was Brewer on other end of that pass, it might hav been second thoughts.

 

I love how everyone is just shocked that Harden has to put of these crazy numbers just for us to win whenI was screaming all summer and preseason that we had too many scrubs and was catching hell for it lol. Only on Clutchfans lol

 

Man don’t be stealing steals from Harden
The man for 5 steals

 

By the way, as far as stats go, it's ridiculous that last one was counted for Harden as a steal. What's worse is how tv commentators, especially when it's Worrell for example, they count the guy who picks up the ball as the one who stole it. Gordon hit the 3 and got the steal and there should be more attention on this than the 61 by Harden in my opinion.

 

Eric?

 

No Ramsey

 

Harden averaging 9.6rpg since Capela went down

 

i'd rather him at centre because he can jump on the pick and rolls

 

His supporting cast is that bad and more
