ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 5/4/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 1)

Lol this guys basketball IQbis very low

 

lol because he has 1 bad game, he had a great series against Dallas so you just jump off after 1 bad game

 

Might not be a little girl but when you don't play with effort, this is what happens. And BTW, the lack of effort is not unusual.Seen it before...you'll see it again. This team has a TICKER problem.

 

McHale is constantly barking out instructions. It's up to the players to execute. They weren't executing in so many ways tonight.

There's no other option. The Rockets really do need to add an attacking ballhandler next to Harden, one that won't turn it over. Harden's handles are sometimes as shaky as Lin's.

 

Rested, at home, against a "tired" CP3-less Clipper team and we get STOMPED.

I'm not sure about our coach, GM, owner, even harden and D12 I'm not sure about.

Embarrassing.

No killer instinct.

 

ANARCHY in Houston.
Everybody do what he want.

we loose the game in the 2nd quartet. We throw a 15 points lead starting doing stupid passes and lazy plays.
And the clipper with nothing, ended only down by 4.

Worst lost I have seen in Houston ever.

 

Welp, just told Chandler to eat a dick.

 

Jones, where art thou?

 

I dont mind a loss, but like that? Spineless.

 

How do you preach about championship basketball and consistently come out with no energy...That is what makes me frustrated, can't let these games go in the Playoffs...Not to mention every time I try to defend this team as of tonight this game will be brought up...Sigh

 

Someone detox Harden.

 

And that's after giving up 72 to the Mavs in the first half of Game 3. The Rockets defense is atrocious right now. And it can't all be pinned on the loss of Bev. They're just getting outhustled. How many open 3's did the Clippers get in the 2nd half? How many times did the Rockets fail to run back on defense? And how many g-ddamn turnovers did they have which led to easy Clipper baskets?

The one good thing about this embarrassment is that it'll hopefully wake this team the F up. That doesn't guarantee they'll win any games in this series, but at least they know they have to actually show up if they wanna have a shot.

 

That can be argued to be a good thing, tbh.

 

During the Mark Jackson era, the Warriors had this tendency to beat TOP teams but lose to bottom feeders. As many people found out after Mark Jackson was fired, he was a motivational coach but not really into preparing his teams (or so the news reports said).

It's easy to motivate yourself when you are an underdog. But perhaps McHale didn't prepare as well as needed or the Rockets felt they could cruise without Chris Paul in the lineup.

It's a wakeup call for the Rockets. Let's see how they respond.

On a side note, I would have expected Harden to come out hard to show the NBA why he should have been the MVP.

 

I hope McHale givess them an earful......

I hope Harden actually tries next game....hope he learns from this...I really do....13fga in 37mins for the top scorer in the league is just MIND BOGGLING....WHY WHY JAMES?

 

Lol so Les paid chuck 2 million if he only owes him 3 million now?

 

These guys should be disgusted with themselves Look in the mirror Rockets and ask if you think you deserve to be here. Because that performance says you do not deserve to be here.

 

because they actually gave up with 24min left.

 

Still doing better with Ariza than they did with Parsons...

 

This team pretty much quit in this game. A PLAYOFF game.


What the sh1+? Let that sink in guys. I am still going to keep faith but there is no rational reason to do so besides fandom. If you can't smell what the Clippers are cooking then you are a blinded fan. Our opponents are the real deal. Apparently the Rockets did not get the memo.
