ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 4/26/2015 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

Yeah, you weren't saying that for the last 3 games - you're so full of ****, you need to squeeze some out.

 

Rockets only hope to advance is on Nick Johnson?!

They're officially in trouble! :grin:

 

Playoff games don't count and yes the media have already sent in their votes

the MVP is for the regular season

 

I don't feel too bad now spurs gave up 114 at home.

 

We only win 2pts, and now they get a blow out win.

If game 5 is a lose, you will cry.

 

Good for you!

I don't know why the NBA withholds the results until the second round if the votes are already in...

 

Last year, the Spurs were taken to 7 games in the first round by the Mavericks.

The Heat did not sweep their first round matchup in 2012 against the Knicks.

The Mavericks didn't in 2011 against Portland

The Lakers didn't sweep their first round in either 2009 or 2010

The Celtics almost got knocked out of the first round in 2008 (Hawks took them to 7)

The Heat didn't sweep their first-round matchup in 2006

Detroit didn't in 2004.

San Antonio has never swept any of their first round matchups in 2003, 2005, and 2007.

Those teams all went on to win championships in those years. The only championship team since 2003 (the first year that they switched to a 7-game format) that swept their first-round matchup was the Heat in 2013.

 

Gonna be a massacre on Tuesday..All Dallas accomplished tonight is pissing us off..

 

Oh yeah, they didn't yell Houston Sucks or anything like that. A Championship team closes 'em out when the chance is there. 9 point lead at the end of one and absolutely just decide not to play again until late in the 3rd. Can't turn it on and off...for the 1000th time. It will ultimately be our downfall against someone.

 

Yeah, grats on beating a Mavs team which was collapsing even before the playoff started, and good luck using Prig or Terry to play against CP3 or even Parker/Mills next round.

 

What scares me is that Friday's game was very much winnable for the mavericks and tonight they absolutely nailed the win. I don't like this shift in momentum in their favor.

 

Houston lose 114 pts on 4 games average. WOWOW....

Seriously, where the ****ing defense for Rockets????

 

Thanks for dropping knowledge on some of these people that are panicing.

Again, championship teams lose too. It's not about losing it's about responding. If the Rockets never lose 2 games in a row they'll go to the finals and win the championship. It's all about how you respond to losses.

If they come out game 5 and Howard is playing like this and we lose...I agree...panic time.

 

In next round, yes.

well they have to count the votes for not only that award but other awards as well and space out giving out the awards

 

I'm not scared. We won the first 2 games easily, I was expecting this team to get lazy and lose game 3, but we came out and won, even if it barely happened. I feel like a big loss here will light a bit of a fire under the Rockets, they'll seal it away home in game 5, they'll play like game 1 and 2

 

My God, please beat these clowns!
