Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 9/6/2020 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 2)

There should be boundaries with the three pointers.
. One of them being, once you've made the come back from a double digit deficit, ease up on them, don't force them. Another one, if you average 21% from downtown definitely don't force them. 1/10 in the 4th quarter. Rockets have shown they won't back down. They'll just have to win this in 5 games

 

You can’t have Westbrook shooting 7 three pointers in a game like this. It just cannot be allowed to happen if you expect to win.

 

Yeah because OKC doesn't have the offensive rebounding.

Steven Adams is no Lebron or AD on the offensive end.

The Lakers got a decent bench, not Clippers deep but good one.

While 3s are more than 2s, quality 2s are made by way higher percentage.

 

Rivers, dumbrick and Jeff green we’re terrible...

 

He shot 13 free throws and had the ball forced out of his hands consistently.

What is the move when Dortbrooks man comes over and makes Harden pass?

 

Man....if we had Lillard on this team.....GOD DAMNIT.

 

Russ needs to play within himself he needs to drive on those with open threes and collapse the defense.

 

ya'll want harden taking 20+ contested shots over 2 defenders and finishing the game 3/17 from 3?

he played a smart and efficient game and took what the defense gave him. gordon doesn't even get most of his 3's off without harden constantly making the right pass out of a double.

 

To say nothing of the turnovers (also 7). 7's are wild tonight!

 

This.

Harden looks disinterested in shooting

 

Both Lillard and McCollum are injured, McCollum could still play through injury.

 

Stupid old Westbrook. 1-7 on 3-point shots. This team has things difficult to understand. We won a game in this series and there were players talking crap about having heart. First we have to win something important and then talk.

 

Injuries are part of the game, Lillard just had a post season run through 3 series last year. Westbrook was injured for the first 4 games of the first round.

 

These morons just wanna find a reason to hate. You know harden shoot shoot over the double teams

 

Hate to say it.... but if we had CP3 on this team, our small ball would work so much better. But Westbrook makes us so predictable.

 

You can’t shoot the ball when you are doubled..

 

You know what I did like Russ's interview. I really did. Lets, the guy has a the heart of a champ, lets see if he shows out in Game 3.

 

Yeah, Lillard is clutch but he isn't a defender, that would still put pressure on PJ and Rob.

Would make the lineup even smaller.

 

Idk if that's true, I'm not sure Cp can iso his man anymore. Though we wouldnt need to get rid of our big man if we had CP. We could use those picks for better pieces.
