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

And if this goes to 7, by then I will not like the rockets chances even at home because that would mean Houston lost 3 in a row including game 5 at home.

This is exactly why they couldn't afford to get complacent in game 4.

 

it wont

 

J...agree. That's why it was so important to me to drive a stake through that dick with ears coach and his team of vampires.

 

We were outscored 50-15 between being up 41-31 and the start to the 4th.

That def is the hard way... we shot SO badly. That will not happen again and I fully believe that. I was heartbroken, we hadn't played that bad since February... when we lost to the Mavs in Dallas. We missed so many open shots.

This series is over. Rockets in 5.

 

So the Mavs got no Allstar, got no good player, got no Championship coach...

Don't underestimate the heart of a .... and Dallas was a Champion should I remind you.

They have lost talent but their superstar (old) is still there playing.

 

No, my whole point is to respect your opponent. Rockets went up 3-0 and it wasn't easy. The let up in game 4 was disappointing.

There's no element of surprise at this point in the series. Rockets know who the mavs are and vice versa. Rockets took game 4 for granted plain and simple and that's just frustrating.

 

Jesus you guys. I didn't hear anyone before the series started saying "sweep or bust"...

It's just one game! Chill the **** out

 

I am more concerned with playing defense and rebounding.Our elite center had 7 rebounds. Our other superstar exhibited a lack of interest in this game...other players were not even including him in the offense. Ariza and Terry couldn't hit the side of a barn offensively. All you can really control in a game is EFFORT. Shots ? Some go in, some don't. BAD game because of effort.

 

Applause...somebody had to say it.

 

Hey, if you're going to lose a game in the series might as while lose it while you are up 3-0 and not down 0-1 or 0-2. Going down 2 or 3 games in a series in a hole we should avoid at all circumstances.

I think we come out with renewed energy next game. Well, I hope we do. The longer we let the Mavs in the game, the more confidence they will have at stealing a game at Toyota Center.

 

You should be in the locker room and tell Howard,Harden,Smith and McHale because they definitely seemed concerned from the quotes.Just think what a confidence booster you would be there with that atmosphere.

 

Les wanted another home game. Money rolling in right now.

 

Harden was not greedy at all.

 

Im just a huge rockets fan like everyone else in here (minus the trolls) And believe me i wish i was in there but that being said i disagree with any doubt you think they might have. They know what needs to be done and i know they will get it done. Go Rockets!

 

If they didn't sound concerned, everyone here would be crying about how we didn't learn from this loss, or we are too loose, or question harden's demeanor.

There's no winning with the pessimists

 

Pessimists or realist ? They were indeed crying. Walking away from a loss when you didn't put out effort will have that affect on you. THEY are concerned...why would a fan expressing the same sentiment be "pessimistic" ? My goodness.

 

Do you want our team to be concerned or not?

What's your point,

 

Players wanted another playoff game check .

 

It was a Game 4 or 5 back in 2011. It was Brandon Roy's last hurrah. He went hardcore on the Mavs and brought the Blazers back to win. The Mavs didn't lose another game until the Western Conference Finals, when they lost just one game. Maybe something similar happens for the Rockets.
