ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 4/20/2019 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

Harden/CP3 with 9 fouls called against them is all you need to know about this game

 

This is the worst we've played in a minute. Cant believe we're still in this game

 

Shows you how wide the talent gap really is.

 

Harden better score 20 in the 4th to redeem himself. Otherwise he'll never live this game down, especially if we lose.

 

Fine, same. I'm not a fan of today's commentary either. But let's leave the "personal" comments about her out. We're better than that.

 

I don't think it is her, I think it is the game and the players whining, and Harden missing, there is just no flow, she is doing her job commenting on it.....and it is ugly.....and she has to point out the ugly......

DD

 

House missed an open Rivers for three instead he drove it in and missed two free throws

 

Man we keep saying that at the end of each quarter.

 

Utah's sundress unis are hilarious.

 

I believe in Harden. LET'S GO!!!

 

0-14 from a high usage player is a big hit dude.

 

He is being aggressive. What, u want 20 shot attempts by the end of the 3rd with the way he’s been missing? He’s driving to the cup, he’s taking his stepbacks, but he can’t buy a bucket.

miss me with this “he’s being timid” talk like he’s only taken 5 shots...he’s getting steals, he’s getting assists, he has a block, and he has many bricks

 

Harden still has 6 steals, 7 assists, 3 rebs and a block. So before we rip too hard on him, let's acknowledge that's not mentally weak - that's tough - he's still fighting despite his struggle. He's 0-14 but he hasn't quit and hasn't shot his team out of the game.

 

man. that would be so great

Look, I'll take a rockets win any way we can get it

but harden having a massive Quarter and just blowing the jazz out would be too sweet

 

Refs are working on it

 

Time for Paul to nut up

 

Faried getting absolutely torched on D, but Clint not playing much better. Reminds me of the OKC series from a couple years ago, where Kanter couldn’t even see floor after couple games.

 

Come on...can't give up more second chance points.

 

There were a couple drives he passed off to pj or passed off when he coulda gone strong

 

Not sure why everyone is so critical.

Rockets as a team very composed despite everything that could go wrong going wrong.

The refs are putting on an unbelievable show smh, Jazz can basically do whatever they want to us on defense, meanwhile they're getting any and every possible call.

Ya, it's not pretty, but this is what playing a road playoff game in a very hostile environment is like.

If Harden can just hit a few shots, we have a great shot at winning. That being said, he has stayed involved and active despite the four fouls and mugging. CP3 has steadied the ship. They can still do this.

 

Favors man.. I told you guys this guy is a problem for the Rockets
