ClutchFans Game Thread: Cavaliers @ Rockets 3/1/2015

Did beverly say something in the PA after the game?

 

Both J Smiths were on brick duty

 

Hey everyone needs to spam #bballbreakdown so coach nick can do a video on this game.

 

He'd probably find some way to demonstrate how Klay Thompson was better than Harden

 

Anyone have that pic of Harden in the chef hat? It's only been posted 12 in the last 5 pages.

National media forgot Dwight is still in the league

anyone else have a lot more confidence in this team playing defense down the stretch vs last years team? I love that we have Ariza and brewer (even jones and smith and bev) to play D when it's needed. Not that anyone can really stop Lebron, but I think Ariza did a great job on making everything difficult.

 

They might, but Lebron probably wouldn't (sometimes I wish i had twitter, but the feeling goes away quickly)

But tbh, Love would ball so much with Harden, that guy finds far less offensively gifted players and makes them look better than they are.

 

Spoiler

 

He should know that Klay is a different type of player than Harden

 

Is this Home-Court-Advantage? The Cavs had 16 more FT over the Warriors at home, but shot 12 less than the rockets on the road.

Cavs: 29-35
Warriors: 10-19

Rockets: 26-33
Cavs: 11-21

 

I like Hubie Brown, but he seemed a bit 'one-sided' during the game.

In the 4th Q, he made mention how Terrence 'might have gotten away with a
foul by pushing off with his arm when going to the basket'.

Was he NOT watching LeBron play at all? Could he only see 1 of HIS arms?
LBJ was clearing space with his left arm quite a bit.

Most players do it to some degree. But let's not call out one player and
look the other way when another is doing it repeatedly.

 

King James

 

I think you're accusing him of knowing more than he does (plus he really hates Harden and really loves Klay, to the point he was blaming Harden for Klay's defensive errors in the world cup).

 

Fun game for sure

 

I do remember him saying those things, but I feel you guys are focusing on just small segments of the game where Hubie's opinions don't skew Rockets.

Hubie is not biased. Some of you guys are hearing what you want to hear. I thought Hubie was going to orgasm every time Harden or Pablo threw a pass. He sounded disappointed every time the Rockets missed a layup; thought one of Smith's moves was beautiful and should have been an and 1. He thought that Harden should have gotten a call on that no call at the end of the 4th quarter. He was complimentary of both teams. Watch the replay.

Every time Hubie is calling the game there are people that say he is biased and I just don't hear it.
