ClutchFans Game Thread: Cavaliers @ Rockets 1/15/2016

LA are rubbish, people here keep going on about how we were lucky in the 5 games we won. Go have a look at who they have beaten in this current streak

 

It doesn't matter who they have beaten. They are meshing right now, playing good fun basketball. They have a great thing going on right now and they are filled with talent that plays well together and Doc will coach circles around JB. Have you watched Houston play this year like? I'm not trying to be a dick but man you need to take a step back, take of the Rockets glasses and watch them play. It isn't pretty.

 

I heard like 10 times Harden's quote "Its just one game" in post game interview.

 

i have seen every game, up and down i know.....but i don't waiver from the thought on the big picture at the end of the season. I'm sure Morey will work some kind of trade to get a deeper bench. Wouldn't be surprised if Morey tells JB to play Lawson in a lot of minutes to showcase him before the trade deadline

 

There is pragmatic optimism and then there is wishful thinking.

 

i love harden's laid back attitude
its just one game
chill. relax.
but he should not be playing basketball with that attitude
he should be flipping burgers

 

just on the Clippers again, their record against teams .500 or better is just 7-10

19-3 against teams under .500, i think they have only played 1 team over .500 in the current win streak

 

Harden, its just beard, why don't shave it?

 

lmao so true.

 

Guys, relax, it's just ONE GAME. RELAX

 

WOW that is just straight up ugly.

LOL anyway what can we do? Harden is only 26 years old, he's still immature and probably weak willed at this point but at least he didn't totally embarrass himself. For the Rox they have been slowly getting back on their feet after their disastrous season openers, after winning 5 games in a row why don't you guys cut them some slack? Tom's another game.

PS Clippers suck, they're just lucky they have a weak sched. If we meet in the playoffs I think Rox will destroy them.

 

James is not weak minded

""Patience, just testing my leadership, testing everything, me as a basketball player," Harden said. "[Asking myself] 'Am I built for this?' I know I am. There are a lot of tests I've been put through in these last three or four years, not a lot of people can get through. Me being a strong-minded individual that I am, being surrounded by some really good people, I just continue to work through it and fight through it and good things will happen."

 

Lol, Clippers are still ****... I complain a lot about the Rockets franchise post hakeem, but then I look at the Clippers and I'm not sure how they still have a franchise or fans... Lol, they were so close to getting to the WCF (like 1st time ever haha) and then ****ing fell apart, it was pathetic. I've never seen a meltdown of that proportion, just sad.

PS the Clippers could be playing their best basketball ever, and there'd be no way they'd get passed GSWs or the Spurs (last year sure.... but by re-upping with LA there's no way this year)... And then if some miracle happened and they managed to somehow get to the finals (Yeah right), the Cavs would be waiting rested from playing in the ****ty east.

When I think of all the time I get pissed about the Rockets, I just remember that at least I'm not a Clippers fan.

 

fight? Is there anybody see Harden ever fight in this game? With laziness to fight?

 

All the good work over the last 5 games has gone to waste.

 

Me too...that is unimaginable that he would say that. The team LAID down...PERIOD.

Actions speak louder than words. Have you ever seen the **** Melo says? "I'm all about wining, man" then he goes and demands that NYC trade all their good players to Denver so he can get paid more.

In Harden's case if he was really strong minded then when they face a tough opponent he will raise his game up, like for example WB I hate that guy's playstyle but when nobody else can buy a bucket he will put his head down and drive to the rim, he will run hard on D and give some tough fouls, he will trash talk and do all the dirty work necessary to get that W. In the case of Harden if the Rox are getting owned he will jack up shots and wilt on D.

Like I said Harden is still young at 26, and honestly not everyone is cut out to be a leader/alpha dog. But just because I don't hold it against him you shouldn't say he is strong willed, because right now I don't see it.

 

Did u guys really expect anything other than this?
