ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 5/12/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 5)

Great game Rockets. Knew you'd win. Sustain effort and energy in Game 6.

 

Okay Bosh is plain creepy now. He talks about the former teammate that abandoned his team just a minute ago like it was nothing... I thought Bosh would still be kind of pissed.

 

Agreed. Can't be good at everything. 2/3 is pretty beast.

 

"Bay bee" lol

 

He was asked how well Harden played, and his answer was really lukewarm.

 

He always does that but will get back at trying to kill you in the next game.

 

1. First time in both series Dallas and Clippers, that McHale has let Harden play more than 30-35 min... Harden played 43 minutes today. Even if Harden isn't scoring well, his presence is everything.

2. Starting Smith proved to be crucial and positive for us because of his ability to spread the floor with his passing and rebounding.

3. McHale better learn from his positive doings today moving on.

4. Regardless if we end up winning game 6 and 7 and even possibly going to the third round and or NBA Finals, I still want McHale fired. I want Bulls to lose against Cav's and hopefully Coach Thibs get fired and Rockets snatch Thibs.

5. Rockets bench showed up today, the Clippers bench didn't... big difference maker.

6. So nervous and hopeful and anxious for the next game.

 

Before that, anything can happen in G6.

 

Fxxk, the Clippers even have defensive principles.

 

Are you kidding? LeBron helped get Bosh 2 rings. And LeBron leaving Miami caused Riley to panic and hand him 120 mil.

 

Oh really, triple double while being SICK ain't squat?

26 pts, 11 reb, 10 sat


GTFO

Harden hater

 

Great win for the Rockets. I hope Harden's performance will quiet the haters for awhile. The three early fouls on Jordan made a big difference in the outcome of this game, just like the three early fouls on Dwight significantly hurt the Rockets chances of winning game 4. I hope the Rockets will attack the basket early and often in game 6 and do everything they can to keep Jordan off the court. The role players stepped up big tonight. Ariza had a monster game. Very proud of the Rockets tonight.

 

Howard does this crap all the time. When Smith was beasting against the Mavs they asked him what he thought about that, and he just redirected the interview to be about himself.

 

It's not the time to celebrate or praise. This is the right mindset.

 

Other than his constant complaining to the refs, I've always really liked Doc.

 

You are the dope!!

What he said was playing in rhythm in their offense helps them play better defense.

Pay attention...instead of always hating.

 

that ain't being mad. just being honest. harden did have triple-double, but it definitely wasn't his best game. give the guy some break though, he seemed pretty sick. i'm wondering those asthma issues are creeping up again.

 

Exactly.

I hope our guys play out of their minds to bring this back to H-town.

 

I wish we could see Capela against Blake. His length and quickness would bother Blake.

 

I hope the reason the clippers played poorly wasn't because they are fatigued after winning two 30+ point blowouts and was because the rockets are finally getting their groove back and playing like they did in the regular season. I guess we'll see in game 6.
