ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 5/10/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 4)

Happy birthday!

May I suggest you engage in an endeavor more conducive to a happy day than watching our beloved Rockets?

 

Nope...can't be a TRUE Rockets fan......what a joke....basketball fan implies NO ALLEGIANCE. Analyze, criticize...SURE but pull for someone else....uh, no.

 

Rockets best chance for a chip if the Grizzlies can win. They need a miracle or a new defensive plan

 

Nobody coming out of the east can beat the rockets, and I think they can beat Memphis. This is a golden opportunity they are screwing up if they continue to play like they have. The stars are aligning as you said.

 

Is Terry gonna play or is he suspended?

 

Terry will be there.

Whether he contributes anything, well....

Anybody in the East can beat the Rockets the way they are playing defense right now.

 

I agree and this gives me chill but man it means nothing if we forget to show up for the Clipperd

 

I just want an entertaining game tomorrow night. Please give it your all Rockets! None of this half-hearted lazy ass ball.

 

Must win game! No excuses! I want to see that scrub Rivers go 2-15 and I want to see gritty defence and no quitting!

I think that the Bulls with Rose in MVP form could beat the Rockets.

 

The way the Rockets are currently playing both Chicago and Cleveland can beat them. There is zero defense being played in Houston. Zero.

 

Just win and dont play/act like p*****s thats all I ask for.

tie it up and reset it.

 

Basketball Gods! Please give us a win.... We as fans deserve this one

 

Lol, Rockets aren't holding the Clippers to 84 points, no chance. If the Rockets somehow win it'll be like the Mavs game 3, like 120-116 or something.

 

None one in the east can beat any of the final four in the west.

I know the Rockets can play a whole lot better with energy but right now Memphis look like champions.

 

I'll record it and only watch it if the Rockets win.

I usually go out of my way to watch every single second of the games live. This series hasn't been fun at all.

 

Nobody will blame you for that. Other than some very nice alley oops, we have not played well at all. It is a combination of bad matchups (Clippers), injuries to key personnel, especially Bev).

There are ways to fix the above, but it will mean a turnover roster of about 25%. Unless the system is changed, Morey will have to bring two new players that can actually shoot the 3 with any consistency, in addition to a starting pg.

If we end up losing this series, instead of being upset above the results, fans and the organization should view this failure as a lesson to be learned and an opportunity to finally get the roster right. Well, this is how I am going to handle defeat instead of endless b****ing.

 

Win this game and it'll be a best of 3 series with us having home court advantage. It's that simple. Just win.

 

Praying for a win. If there was ever a time for us to come together, this is it.

COME ON ROCKETS! DIG DEEEEEEEEP!!!

 

So still the same old, same old quotes? Still nobody pissed? It's beyond embarrassing that every series is very competitive, full of close games, crazy shots and people fighting through injuries and showing it can go either way. We are the only team who has made this series a complete joke...f being a Rockets fan!
