ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/14/2019 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

Gediminas Petraitis is my favorite ref right now.

I think he makes very good calls, even keeled and young. Doesn't get rattled by coaches or players barking at him.

I've been officiating high school basketball for the last 15 years and we have the same demeanor, I guess that's why I like him

Also like Tyler Ford in that group.

 

have you ever been offered money to rig a game?

 

I always get asked that question when I complain about the refs in the NBA being rigged.

There's no money involved in high school (most of the time).

I can see how it can be tricky in the NBA when large amount of money is involved (vegas, game revenues etc.).

 

Probably one of the most boring promos I’ve seen for the rockets.

 

early season Reeko can hold this big L

I’m reading those posts like

 

Too bad Toyota Center isn’t so rowdy. Foster should literally be afraid to ref in Houston.

 

Thanks for the video! Must see for everyone, especially the doubters.

Let's go get it!

 

I wish the team and this board stopped giving so much thought to what the media has to say about them.

Rockets in 5. Though I can see them being pissed about how the season ended and finishing the Jazz in 4.

 

lol, touche, you're right on that last statement. I guess i'm annoyed on things that don't matter in the end ... Wouldn't say I hate him, but I guess I have a thing against guys that talk too much as role players and get praised for every antic they attempt. regardless, it's a win-win they're playing the warriors

 

Can’t believe the fate of the season came down to that last shot in okc.

Harden hits that shot...
Rockets 2 seed, plays weaker 1& 2nd round opponent, stays away from GSW bracket (who might go through okc then jazz beat up), gets to finals.
Harden wins consecutive MVP.

Alter the course of history.

What could have been.

 

How about beating Warriors in round 2 and altering the course of history. Moving on from the past and focus on “Now”.

 

Can someone tell me why house is always in the corner? I get it MDA likes the dribble penetration in the corner but House is best when he’s on the wings shooting and dribble drive/dunk. Just one thing to look at. Also if they just lock in mentally and just calm down after a team goes on a run. And MDA please call more timeouts to stop runs. Keys to Victory!

 

Would have liked to have the 2nd seed but it is what it is. Now let's go take care of the jazz and whoever the next opponents are.

Go Rockets!!!!

 

Sunday sooon come!!!

 

Why do we have the last game broadcast in the opening round? I hate that. Didn’t we get the last game with Minnesota last year too? THhe disrespect is maddening we’re the only team in the postseason that didn’t play Wednesday night and yet we have the last game on Sunday

 

It doesn't matter, unless you have to get up early for work. I don't, being retired, but I can understand why most would find it irritating. After we win, you'll feel better about it, I would wager. ;-)

 

Gordon is gonna defend Michelle? Lol.

Michelle will drop career high pts.

 

I'm glad Capela will play Game 1 despite having a upper respiratory infection. He sat out practice. Seems he is getting better.

 

Gordon will do fine. He's actually a pretty decent on ball defender. Try not to trash your own team man.

 

AWESOME
