ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 11/17/2023

The NBA scheduling is getting lazier & lazier. Teams playing the same team B2B games and inconsistent days off.

I don't get why they don't just get rid of B2Bs and have 1-2 days between games max.

 

They were never rockets fans, they always were closest warrior fans. Any player they could pit againist harden they would create a thread about it. Remember the harden vs klay and harden vs Paul George threads

 

Good Lord....still no game?...Friday night huh, hell of a break between their last game. Hopefully a reduced cool off from 6 game winning streak.

 

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE NEXT EXCITING INSTALMENT OF THE

IN SEASON TOURNAMENT

 

Are the Rockets still in the league?

 

The line is Clippers by 5.5. We could go 3-0, or 2-1. Lakers and Warriors are beatable.

 

Someone will have to explain that line to me. The team on a 6-game winning streak is a 2-3 point underdog at a neutral site to the team on a 6-game losing streak? Vegas still underrating the Rockets.

 

It’s officially GAME DAY BEOTCHES.


LFG

 

Idk I have a weird feeling about this game ! I don’t wanna be the team that gives them the first win after harden ! I might be more impressed if we win this game over the nuggets at home without Murray tbh . Let’s prove we can win on the road too !

 

im sure it has more to do with the clips are at rock bottom so they can only really go up from here. no one at all is expecting the clippers to drop 8-9 straight. that squad is capable of turning it on and stealing some games. statistically it makes sense. the rockets "statistically" are suppose to cool off soon after this win streak is snapped.

 

This game is in LA in clippers arena. Why do you think it's a neutral site?

 

Officially official and unofficially official.

 

GAME DAY FINALLY

We will embarrass the Clips.

 

How tf are we the only team in the entire league with only 9 games played. It's like the nba schedulers were like nah these fools were dead last 3 years in a row let's just dck around.

 

If the Rockets play the way they have learned to at home on the road, they win.
If the young guys get intimidated on the road and revert to old habits, they lose.

 

Not sure of the reason, but it's got to have been hugely beneficial to the Rockets. They've gotten plenty of rest between games, as well as time to hold legit practices and not just glorified shootarounds.

Probably one of the reasons that the Rockets seem so well prepared for each game, I think.

 

I feel like it's been a long long time without game

 

Wow. OkC crushed them last night. Hopefully Curry doesn’t play tonight. As much as I prefer beating teams at full strength — f that guy!

 

While practice time is great , I do hate having such a long break while we are playing well. So much of basketball is rhythm and hopefully we don’t lose that rhythm after a week off.
