ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 5/8/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 3)

Dude has been fined $25k TWICE for jawing with fans. Bout time that fine increased.

 

Why doesn't ESPN want JVG to call Houston games?

 

I can't help but think Paul at any health is still better than Terry and Prigioni.

 

Gotta make CP3 work for his points tonight. Whoever he's guarding is gonna have to be on the move constantly. Get the W!

 

I think we blow the CLips out of their own building like they did to us Game 1

Anything less than a blowout and I won't be impressed

 

Mark my words. Either we win, or the Clips win. There's no other way.

 

Between Ken Mauer and the Rockets abandonment of defense, I am feeling BAD about this game. I would love to be wrong, but I don't feel good at all.

 

Still waiting for your definition of the season

 

Cp3 playing could be a blessing in disguise, rockets may come out much more focused for a game with cp3. Easily can see they were not giving it their all the first two games

I'm ready for this game to start! GO ROX! FEAR THE BEARD!!!

 

5 stars are 5 stars without knowing the outcome... did not matter

 

Word to the guys who are likely to blow a gasket if we lose tonight: we are not a complete team. The Rockets are definitely a top team, but they are not a finished product. Morey just said he will try to bring the core back with the 2 (not 3) superstars. Add a real good pg and a sharpshooter to the core, and this team goes to a level much higher than the current one.

 

Magic Johnson, is that you?

 

My MVP candidates for this post season are John Wall, Paul Peirce, Lebron James, DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, Kyrie Irving, Chris Paul, Dirk Nowtzki, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kobe Bryant, and Derrick Rose.

 

They are rushing back CP3 ... will be interesting to see how he responds, i'd put Ariza on him off top and make him uncomfortable to begin the game, dont let him get ina groove.

Oh yea and looking forward to Barnes getting smacked at some point.

 

Can we suit up Beverley and have him hound Paul 94 feet, cast and all?

Won't even matter if we are playing 4 on 5 on offense.

 

Start Ariza on him on defense then make sure you switch Paul on Harden on offense, provided that Harden comes out and attacks.

 

It't not like he has to shoot if he is playing the role Prigioni.

 

Man these late start LA games suck.. Yawning haha
