ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 10/25/2017

She old. Would not hit.

 

Man, don't. He'll get his **** together and be clutch again. Hinch did the same thing to him that didn't work the last time he tried to go 6 outs.

 

I couldn't take my eyes off the Astros game. It was too important. I watched it until the end, Astros win in a HUGE comeback.


...then I start watching this game... more fireworks!!!

I LOVE BEING A HOUSTON ROCKETS FAN!!!!!!!!!!

 

Watched the whole game and the 76ers are no joke. I love that team, their intensity is great and Embiid is fun to watch!

That being said, we played lazily and sloppy. Settled for way too many threes, did not get back on defense, whined to the referees too much and let the 76ers get into our heads.

There were some positive things though, mainly the 4th and end of 3rd quarter defense. We had some great stops, Tucker in particular was marvellous with the two steals on Embiid.

Harden made up for his sloppy play, looking for calls and disappearing under pressure again by some nice passes and two blocks as well as his 1-on-1 defense. I really hope he will learn to key in earlier, stop with the stupid passes and look for fouls.

I can’t say enough about Capela and Black. Those rebounds, strong defense and blocks were very key! Black needs minutes every single game, he’s so strong and can really finish as well handle bigs on defense.

Player of the game: Gordon! Those FTs and the game winning three were just outstanding I actually pictured Gordon making a three at the buzzer as soon as we got the 24-sec violation. I thought that would be the perfect ending and it was!!

As a team we can do much better, not happy with team defense, our simple offense Harden dribble dribble, MDA’s rotation, our whining and Harden but I’ll take this win with a new rotation and the refs being a bit out of whack with calling Embiid falling down though at the end they let them play.

I totally disagree with the remarks that the refs were not calling anything for Harden. He got hit on one drive but the others in the 1st half was him looking for it and I’m happy they didn’t call it.

Ow yeah, road Ryno is somewhat real

 

Looks like Fruit Ninja Gordon.

 

A quick look at the box score will make you think Tarik Black was worthless. Haha, you clearly didn't watch the game. Dude played awesome against Embiid and got him in foul trouble. That was HUGE seeing our offense wasn't clicking.

 

i expected huge win to erase the taste from memphis game,

but its ok, ill forget it eventualy.

 

Had the privilege of watching two dynamic come backs. The Rockets started it off with Clutch Triple G ( Eric Gordon) draining a game winning three. And then the Astros bats caught fire to send the game into extra innings. Blasting homerun after homeruns. Wow what a night!

 

We played so bad the entire game, glad I didn't turn it off to watch the 'Stros with about 2 min left. Crazy finish, reminded me of the TWolves game last season.

Obviously happy we won, but we looked really, really bad most of the game. Guys just playing lazy, no ball movement on offense, nonexistent transition defense, we got a TON to work on. Just hope they start to put it together and we get healthy.

Gotcha haha. Yea that's true, but I was hoping we would still be a bit better after a year under our belt. Also we have better defenders in the lineup so even without CP3 we should be solid defensively.

 

May have been posted but is there a video of just the last two minutes somewhere?

 

What is ISH?

Are there doubters there?

 

Embiid is Super Saiyan One, when does he turn 2 or 3?

His Power Level shall rise.

 

yup a couple possessions were some throwback kansas practice battles

 

Clint with the PSA to the doubters

 

We were missing 3 key players & the Sixers are a damn good team. At least we didn't lose to the Nets.

 

Well, this makes up for the Memphis meltdown, sort of. Nice win.
