ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 5/5/2017 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 3)

W's sweep either team

 

The rockets always have high quality halftime entertainment. That dog was great.

In Toronto they played a game of Simon Says at halftime today. LOL Canada is lame

 

It's sickening because as bad as we are playing this is winnable

 

i am so mad, just want to break my tv

 

Since the Hakeem days you just can't trust these dudes we not even playing GS yet

 

As bad as the half has been, they're only down 4 points. Some smart adjustments can get us this W. Also you have to figure the Spurs are going to fight to the bitter end especially without Parker. The refs are content with this being an ugly game. Speed up the tempo, have faith that eventually the shots will fall and run them out of the building. This is easily winnable. This could easily be a blowout in our favor with the right adjustments and momentum.

 

That second video is hard to watch

 

Ryno nowhere to be found at home again...somebody put out an APB for this dude

 

I don't think the Spurs will miss as many shots in the second half. Rockets need to convert their looks.

 

Need to play harder

 

But people act like that don't change how Harden is going to play.

They allow him to play one way the entire season...then pull the rug from under him. Of course that's disorienting. Of course you are going to struggle when you are used to driving and getting fouled and then all of a sudden you get no calls...so you are more cautious driving.

Of course you would be. It makes sense.

 

HAHA. are you seroius? the guy who slammed into ariza's chest on that one play didn't have a single foul for 90 minutes? a guy who reaches and gets steal and blocks had no fouls? a guy who fends people off with his off-hand had no fouls? wow. i thought i might be imagining the conspiracy. i guess not.

 

If I'm D'Antoni, as crazy as it sounds, I would seriously consider playing more Ryno at the 5 in the second half. Pau/Aldridge are clogging the paint right now and killing Houston's offense. But let's see them do that with one of those guys guarding Ryno 24 feet from the basket. Defensively could be a struggle, but the Rockets have played good team defense tonight, and anything is worth a shot at this point.

 

I'd rather see the ball go inside the basket, tbh.

 

Harden is 18% from three 's the last 4 1/2 games.

 

so far, this game is in Spurs pace.

 

If this game was called fairly and evenly, Rockets would easily be up 10+

 

CALL FOULS FOR TEH ROCKETZ!!!!

 

nah it's the ref's fault.

 

We can b**** about media bias all we want, but at some point the players have to be the ones who change that perception. Harden playing like ass is not helping that at all.
