ClutchFans Game Thread: Cavaliers @ Rockets 3/12/2017

Rebounds are the most important for rockets. Houston has good offence but poor defence. If you dont defence then you can grab more rebounds to compensate it. Lou williams gets 6 rebounds. I hope they give some time for troy williams

 

Skip ahead to the 1:35 mark for this exchange. Bev actually did look pretty PO'd and defensive about it.

 

I've been saying this as a joke, since first month...saying media doesn't want this to happen...too embarrassing.

btw: no one has done this. except Wilt and Unseld as rookies, and MJ after the injury year. So no one who played more than 20 NBA games the year before.

 

Wish Morey could see this and nab Sanders or someone! Tonight proved this team is on another level when they can secure boards!

 

Bev is the man.

btw, this stat is crazy

 

Which is even crazier because Harden got a triple double and close to 40 points

 

Great to see a solid team effort culminating in an important win. Harden with a big performance! Keep up the good work Houston Rockets!

 

Yes you shouldn't and if you do, it's a small fraction compared to the ones we did win. Based on that, I would say betting on the rockets is a good one MOST of the time - instead of dwelling on the negative.

 

Steve Nash's first MVP, prior year not on any all nba team.

And if Harden does win MVP, the running narrative could be that both Nash and Harden won it in their first year under D'antoni's system. Too much similarities to ignore.

 

We beat Lebron James and the Cavs on ESPN

 

Corey Brewer? D-Mo?

FAKE.
UNLIKE.

 

I think Kawhi gets it. Curry shares the limelight with Durant. Westbrook's team is not good enough to justify it despite his incredible year. Lebron is all world as usual, but Kawhi gets the whole "he plays two sides of the ball AND his team is better than both the Cavs and Rockets".

 

and the Rox would've won by 15-20 points if they would've made their free throws and layups

 

Gordon wasn't shooting well today so its almost a net even. I think when harden is playing his usual self, we just need one of other 3 pt specialist to play well and we normally win.

 

I know I'm going to jinx it, but we have quietly been very good with our turnovers lately.

 

When was the last time a team shot at least 53% from the floor, 85% from the line, and 40% from 3 and LOST?!

 

A great victory against one of the top teams in the league and the defending champions, and we weren't playing as well as we can. I'm a happy camper.

 

Bro, murderer's row (the people who create odds in Vegas) had this game set at 235 for a total combined score. I realized that this total was too high because the Cavs have played 3 in 4 nights and the Rox are very inconsistent at home. Being on national TV with the playoffs looming, this game was destined to have a playoff atmosphere. Well in the playoffs the defensive intensity increases so the likelyhood of reaching 235 was unlikely. I said to take the under on the totals and predicted that the Rox would win 122-105 (just guessing the total, which confirms that taken the under would of won). Yes my prediction of the final score was wrong but in the end, the wager would of won.
