ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Celtics 2/29/2020

What a great win. This is Westbrook’s team and I’m here for it.

 

Damn, Harden isn't allowed to have bad shooting nights on here.

I do agree he needs to play better and I hope Russ calls him out in private but some of y'all are acting like we lost.

Beating Boston in Boston is no easy task.

 

That is his problen... ok you take the backseat and enjoy the show but man.... can you turn it up with at least 2 min left, cmon man be more lenien, do t just switch it off and become a rookie ffs... we didnt deserve this win or it could have gone eather way... peace

 

Enjoy the last 2 points to win game?

 

and we ultimately won at the end he gets more credit than blame for that

he was +9 the best +/- on the team

if we lost id be the first to blame him

 

Was a long rebound on purpose. Harden almost got it. Tyson wouldn't have helped, he'd be by the basket.
The only thing that would have helped would be to have Russ where Harden was.

 

Boston is also better without Kyrie.

Boston where scoring PGs go to die other than IT.

 

D E U C E

Great WIN !!!

 

No doubt. He had a bad shooting night and gave away a stupid turnover. But it's not like that turnover gave them the lead. They still had to hit a buzzer beater 3pt to tie the game. I'm not going disagree with you that Harden took some stupid shots and made some questionable plays at the end. But he made up for it by winning us the game at the end. That's not choking the game, that's being clutch. That was the point I was making.

 

They were amazing!! I love those two!!!!!!!
29 rebounds and 6 blocks between them!!!
They fight and hustle on every play!

 

This is the type of game elite teams win. The Rockets couldn’t make anything in the first half, but they kept the deficit manageable at halftime (56-45). Then, they played a great third quarter on both ends, and traded heavyweight punches with the Celtics in the fourth quarter. In overtime, again they struggled to score, but their effort on defense gave them a chance for Harden’s steal on Smart and two made free throws.

They overcame a ton of adversity to win on the road against another elite team.

 

yeah thats why the more prime superstars you have the better see gsw

 

After this game, Harden had another milestone.

 

Doesn’t really matter since they are on the same team.

 

Very incorrect. Tyson Chandler is 7 foot. He would have boxed out and his wing span could have either gotten it or disrupted it. It was absolutely a horrendous coaching job.

 

Harden was due to cool off from three.........39 percent the last 10 games

 

This is why we need Russ so much.
When Harden is playing hot trash, we still have another superstar who can score 40+ pts!
