ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 2/11/2015

This will be a very tought game. Even though they are missing griffin, they always give us the most trouble. we need this W big time for self confidence

 

Yes, Dorsey is going to have some trouble. Most definitely.


However, I was at the Phoenix game last night, a row behind Bull.

I asked him about the 6-8 week expectation for Dwight and he said it's accurate.

I immediately asked if we were in a "Yao situation" and he said absolutely not. Apparently, Dwight is ahead of schedule, but Bullard said regardless, he'd be ready for the playoffs. I specifically asked about microfracture and Bullard said "No, it's not similar at all to Yao."

I watched Dwight being an awesome teammate on the bench last night. I know he's in a great deal of pain, but he's not showing it. He was all smiles.

Just take it for what it's worth. Bull and Bill were watching from the other side in jeans, looking super casual, since the game was on TNT.

I don't know Bull very well personally, but we've spoken a few times at games.

He seemed to think Dwight's situation will be alright.

Hope so.

Hope Harden still has something in the tank before the All Star break

 

That's pretty cool. I always wondered what Bill and Bull do when the games are on TNT and they have the night off. Glad to hear they were in the arena.

 

This is thread worthy. Thanks for the information.

 

Well, that's a massive relief.

 

Beverly is going to get abused tonight

 

cp3-deandre lobs will be plenty..hopefully crawford, redick, deandre, hawes dont have monster games...that terrifies me

 

Bet the house on whatever DeAndre Jordan's number of rebounds is. Dude's about to feast on Dorsey.

Beverley needs to step up on CP3, and we will need another MVP Harden performance, but a win is possible.

 

Dorsey is a good rebounder.

Deandre could outclass Dwight in the air, but Dorsey will actually put his a$$ in DJ's knees.

Expecting a win if James Harden of February shows up.

 

Very encouraging information. Hope he knows what he is talking about. He is certainly closer to the "source" than most of us.

 

I don't know. His nickname is "Bull". Maybe we shouldn't believe a word he says.

 

goddamit, everyone in the clippers forums is taking this game as an easy win for them... we need to come out swinging godammit. i am tired of the clippers having our numbers....they are nothing but a bunch of crybabies. Harden needs to take another massive dump on them.

 

A win tonight would be huge. Great scoop from Codman! Hope Bull's got the straight dope.

 

Clippers lost four of last five games, then some of you think this is a difficult game to get a win. To me, this is not a tough game, the rockets will have a very good chance to win it if they do not turn the ball over too much.

 

Let's keep DeAndre under 20 boards.. It will be interesting to see how much Harden has for the Clips tonight on a back to back.

 

I hope TJ is back, we will need him tonight.

And Codman - that is awesome work, thanks for reporting in.

Basketball is a game of match-ups, and we simply do not have the bigs to match DeAndre. We lost to New Orleans by 30 earlier this year, and they're not even a playoff team.

 

Repped, thanks for the info.

 

Looking forward to seeing how passive Harden is in the early-going after playing 43 minutes last night. Our offense was night and day when the ball went through his hands against the Suns.

Hopefully we'll have some balance tonight so Harden can pick and choose his fights. Love to see him do his thing and then the 2nd-stringers keep the flow going and prevent a second quarter flop as we see so often.
