ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 4/24/2015 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

Dallas will make the expected huge run on us. We must grind it out, and finally stomp them out of their misery in the 4th quarter.

Take no prisoners, and win game 3.

 

It's all about defense in this one. If the boys bring the effort and make life miserable for them then the rest will fall into place.

Rockets 107
Mavericks 98

 

Time for the Rockets to go for the throat...

 

It is high time for Terrence Jones to stomp on that hobo team.

 

win in the bench scoring and we win the game easily.

GRIT.

GRIND.

WIN.

REPEAT.

 

The key is getting off to a good start. We don't have to dominate early, but as long as we stay close and don't let the Mavs build a big lead, the bench could come in and bury them.

At this point, their reserves are down to Aminu, Villaneuva, Felton, and Amar'e. The Rockets should be able to feast on that lineup.

 

I want an aerial barrage so severe that the arena starts emptying out halfway through the 4th

 

52 pts from Brewer.

 

I can see the Mavs playing out of their minds to start the game, but if we can keep pace with them or even dominant them during that stretch that would be a huge let down for them.

We have to have a killer instinct this game. Mavs will be looking for any glimmer of hope so we have to shut it down as soon as possible. If we have a 10 point lead, we must try to push it to 20 and so on.

If we dominant this game, Mavs might not even show up for Game 4.

 

You know Hubie is going to slobber all over the Mavericks even more now with the injuries and down 0-2 underdog position?

 

I wonder what kind of adjustments they'll make against the JSmoove and Howard duo. Well, I'm gonna find out soon enough!

 

They'll pack the paint and give a ton of minutes to aminu

 

Come out ready and play with energy and high temppo.

Shut the Mavs in the 1st quarter and shut down the crowd. It's all easy from there.

 

Mavs will come out with some energy, we shut that down quick and we'll bsee fine.

Harden picks up his shooting and Rockets win 108-101

 

I'm curious to see how many Mavs fans sold off their tickets...and how many Rockets fans will be there tonight.

I just checked their website, and it's not a sellout yet. There are tickets available through the team.

I think the Mavs will make an adjustment to stop the frontcourt bleeding...and that's going to lead to better looks for Harden. Harden has a big game. Ariza has a better game offensively than last game (couldn't get much worse, honestly). And Rockets win.

GO ROCKETS!!!

 

Let's keep the momentum going. They got punched in the gut in the first two games & losing Parsons/rondo is a kick in the nuts, if you will. Let's have another good game before we put the rock bottom on 'em in game 4.

LETS GO ROCKETS!'

 

This reference will never get old. I know its horrible but its still funny.

 

Damnn..

Looks like I'm going to miss most of the game as I have to teach Judo tonight from 7-9PM Central. Was hoping the time was 6PM Eastern so I would get to see at least half of the game.

 

DVR baby!
