Clutchfans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 9/8/2020 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 3)

LeBron lights out and getting every whistle imaginable (emphasis on the imaginary part)...and we still led the entire half.

WE CAN WIN THIS GAME. Let’s do it.

 

I am wondering why Lakers went away from their plan at game 2. It was successful. Is it because they think rockets was going to counter it. Lebron is looking for his shot more this game. Rondo driving a lot more. And lobs. They want lebron to get his numbers and look good in the playoffs.

I feel like they are ok with the margin if it's close. But may go back to it at the Q4, may be conserving energy and not get into fouls.

Hope Rockets come out stronger 2nd half.

 

Slow Lebron and we got this

 

Tuck got slammed in the hip by LouBron on a moving pick...no foul of course.

Does anybody else have problems accessing the Website before/during/after games? Presumably high traffic. Get better servers!

 

We have no answer for lebron man. The positive is usually when goes off like this his team ends up by double digits. He is only a +1 after all that.

I expect a double on james 2nd half because we are scoring too easily.

 

WB + Harden

38/6/10
16 of 28 FG
2 turnovers

 

this is where i could use a calvin murphy shiny suit, instead of these idiots.

 

Lebron: *breathes*
Stan Van Gundy:

 

Kenny trying to keep the narrative going.. Smdh

 

Harden & Westbrook 38 pts. Last game they ended with 37 pts.
Harden 21 pts
Westbrook 17 pts
Covington 10pts
Bench/Green 9pts.

Lebron 29 pts. Lebron & AD 43 pts

C'mon EG fire up. Go Rockets

 

i know getting hit in the face can't feel good, but i am always amazed how quickly nba players just shutdown after getting hit, like they get a free play to not have to try. if your legs and arms still work, keep playing. covington got hit and almost just stood there and didn't even move as the ball bounced right to him. luckily it bounced RIGHT TO HIM or he wouldn't have gotten it. play for 3 seconds, get the ball, then hold your face.

 

Harden is like an assassin. He scores so effortlessly. Bron scoring 29 at half is just more noticeable, but not any more remarkable than what HarGod is doing. The commentating with SVG has been very fair, IMO.

Also, Clutch servers are slower than my shiot stream; it must be a good game!

 

With our luck, Tucker is probably gimped for the rest of the series with that quad injury.

 

We should be up by at least 10.

Our defense has forced LA into making big shot after big shot, just to stay in it.

LBJ has come strong, but some of these "keep em in the game calls"...C'mon!

Russ is still getting better with each game. That bodes well for us.

 

we were up 3-2 on the greatest offense of all time and then played 6 close games with them the next year, and people act like we've never played defense before. 2018 wcf was a friggin' war.

 

He is...certainly helps that he can steamroll over everyone and draw a foul.

 

It's not hard.

Just dont commit to the front 100% too early because Davis will spin off and get the lob.

Have to almost side front and keep shuffling in and out so as to screw their timing for the lob.

Once you settle in 100% on the fronting then you are open to the lob.
