ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 1/15/2013

I want to see how this overrated supposedly sixth man of the year Jamal Crawford is going to kill us.

 

Isn't that him in the Mavs jersey?

Spoiler

 

We gonna get rocked tonight, clippers bench will come in and embarrass our second unit

 

Damm Am I the only one that think the Rockets are going to win by a wide margin ?

 

Crawford's overrated? So who was the most important piece the clippers got this year that has helped them play so much better? Yea the team matured, but Crawford has been huge for them....

 

Why by a wide margin? If you guys were a crap team the Clippers were going to overlook maybe but the Clippers know the Rockets are a good team and will be focused.

 

yes.... I'll be happy if we keep them under 120...

 

This is my biggest worry.

They're a very deep team, and none of their starters have played a lot of minutes this season.

Without a strong bench, we're asking the Starters to do a ton.

 

Mor

I hope so cause Morris is horrible and will get destroyed in paint with Blake and Jordan

 

Yes. There bench will crush our bench. I just hope that McHale doesn't overplay starters. We have a better chance beating Mavs than we do Clippers. Also Mavs aren't playing tonight.

 

Crawford has been slumping the last two weeks or so... since he got a foot injury but he's been a massive part of what the team has done as you said. Anybody that's watched the Clippers this year knows that the leagues best bench in the league has a group of players that are all important and specialized. Crawford does the scoring, Bledsoe is the perimeter stopper along with Barnes, Odom, Turiaf, Hollins, Hill come in play defense.. crash the boards and move the ball.

Clippers bench is the easily the number 1 defensive lineup in the NBA among commonly used lineups and the number 2 bench offense to the Spurs to boot. It's not rare for our bench to take a 5 point game and make it a 20 point game vs a teams starting 5. Vs Miami's starting 5 they pushed a 3 point lead to 22 in a 4 minute span, en route to a blowout win.

 

Back to back game for the Clips, Rockets had like 2 days off, home game, and I figure they will play even harder after losing 3 straight on the road.

 

win big

Rocket will win big on CP3 less Clippers. They usually run the tired team down and Clippers are on a b2b game. Go Rockets go. Steam roll the Clippers.

 

Focus guys.. Relax and enjoy the game... and win it once for all....

 

The one huge edge you guys will have tonight is coaching.

 

Their starting line-up is nothing scary, it's their bench that scares me..

 

With Billups and CP3 the starting 5 is top five in the NBA.

 

It's a foul to stand still in front of Harden?

 

Asik Hook shot is just "Sigh"
