ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 2/21/2019

Blowing big leads is becoming a specialty of this team. We are not winning anything this year.

 

0 and 2 road trip

 

Rivers, Green and Tucker with 10pts total and you're blaming Harden? He didnt play great down the stretch, but at least he did his job overall. The role players didnt do sht.

 

I know our GM and our owner already gave up. Maybe time for the fans to follow suit too.

How are the team going to spin this? We're missing our prized trade deadline acquisition? Everything will be fine and dandy when SHumpert gets back.

 

Not by far. They were down four with two possessions left at that point. CP3 hit a 3 on the very next possession.

 

0-7 now

 

Then pass. Don't just dribble for 22 seconds and take a contested step back 3 for multiple possessions in a row. If you're off, pass or do something else.

The refs were awful tonight, but rockets (harden) choked it with a string of bad misses and possessions towards the end.

 

The refs were bad but the offense was atrocious down the stretch.

I wish Harden would have fouled out before getting 30 points so we could move on from this nonsense.

 

The Refs kill our momentum with those bs harden fouls. No way the NBA want the Lakers to miss the playoffs. That's for damn sirr

 

This season can't end any sooner.

Reguardless of Scott Foster's stupid ass calls.

Rockets are blowing leads and continue to shoot threes... they need a whole different game plan because this crappy ass basketball is good for a first round exit.

 

Rebounding is a big issue with this team.

I get that the lakers are one of the bigger teams in the league but man the offensive rebounds we’re giving up is getting out of hand.

I hate to say it but not including tucker with Gordon for jimmy butler was a mistake.

I like tucker but he’s not an untouchable

 

So you'd rather have him jack up 30 foot step back bricks with no space down the stretch?

 

Leads disappear when they get calls and you don't genius.

 

And no picks or money for the future !

 

offensive against rondo by harden was not a foul

 

The team looked good for most of the game, but that drought came at the worst possible time and losing big leads can't keep happening. Nothing we can do from here though, so I hope the good guys figure it out

I think there's room for being both upset at the team and at Scott Foster. Gerald Green wasn't on his game tonight for sure, and he wasn't alone.

On the upside, Faried + Capela looked good, and Paul looked great.

But it's not a win, and the praise kind of rings hollow at the moment.

 

They’re about to **** all over us on inside the nba.

 

i literally just said to myself before the 4th quarter: "wow harden is 9/17 right now. he better not settle for stepback 3s and end up in mediocre 40% land, cuz the defense is giving him floaters for days."

And then he preceded to miss 4 straight stepbacks, get turnovers, and then start driving after the lead was lost (resulting in 2 charges).

Also doesn't help that Green was crap from 3 tonight. More of an anomaly though. Tucker has sucked it up more from his corners 3s in general though.

The only bright spot is cp3's play tonight. Almost wish he woulda taken the ball out of harden's hands since he had it going ... but oh well. His play and faried's, and capela's rim running were the bright spots.

 

Lakers....penche pendejoes!

 

They not beating GS 3 times in a row I know that. League won't even allow that.
