ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 12/9/2017

I know, I agree, but 42 ft attempts!? I'm not complaining. Harden was not in foul trouble either; I think he only had 2 fouls himself.

 

Absolutely Harden is in another level than any other guy in the league. Like everyone is on the earth but Harden takes a chair in the sun. He can just WALK towards to the basket while he is thinking about what to eat the next morning.

 

Don't be that guy. You're going to win the game and then complain about how the refs treated your team? Don't be that guy. I'm not complaining about the officiating, and my team lost and shot way less free throws. It was called well.

Don't be that guy.

 

which one of our italian CFers is this

 

So Chuck, GS clearly has the better backcourt? I doubt he watched this game

 

I watched the game.

 

Should have been an even bigger FT disparity, the Blazers were playing incredibly physical defense and fouling on nearly every possession while largely taking nothing but jump shots. If fouls were called consistently, they'd have had people foul out if they didn't lay off the physical play.

 

so how many harden points were in the 4th?

 

The thing I like about Harden is that, he makes scoring seem so ez. It's like im watching the dude calmly make lay ups, then i look at the box score the fk 48 points. Only Harden can make so many points without making it look difficult. Efficiency playstyle > Emotional playstyle everyday.

 

Reading the blazers forum is entertaining right now, they mad

 

karl lane was calling the most blatant ones that if he didn't call, he'd get called by the league office tomorrow morning. but otherwise, as bull and craig kept repeating all nite, they were letting contact go. meanwhile they called like 3 BS offensive fouls in a row against us, for instance

 

Also 7/29 for a FAKE MVP while 16/29 for a REALREALREAL MVP.

ADAM SILVER SUCKS.

James Harden vs. Blazers: 48 points on 29 shots, 68.3 TS%
Russell Westbrook vs. Grizzlies: 20 points on 29 shots, 30.8 TS%

 

Why do you think I'm here....haha

 

I think it is a legitimate strategy. The refs called the fouls, but the Blazers were so aggressive, the refs were wondering if they should call ALL the fouls.. There was time in the 3rd where the only points Rockets were getting were fts.

 

40-19 fourth quarter...... the blood unit on the court the entire time..... that’s what’s up.....

Side note..... grizzlies put up 9 points in the 3rd and lost to the thunda in OT..... scrubs..... both squads......

 

Blazers fans are pissed but showing respect. Here's what one poster said...

"FWIW, that lineup at the end that HOU had was ****ing lethal. Let's give them some credit. Two HOF level play makers and scoring threats with loads of spacing on the floor with 3 other elite shooters. Who do you leave?"

"They're gonna be a problem. Not many teams have the personnel to consistently stop that attack"

 

Take that for data!
