ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 12/11/2017

I feel bad for Moore and Holiday... Both had incredible scoring nights, and still lost

 

A weird game to say the least.

It looks like Capela scraped Harden's scores, Harden took Paul's assists, Paul robbed Capela's rebounds.

 

Someone needs to put Harden and Paul faces on this..... that would be epic

 

Fair point

 

LOL. That’s hilarious.

 

Pels fans be like. . . . good game. . .

 

100% (rounded up)

 

Fred Katz tweeted Melo left locker room today without talking to anyone. Poor OKC

 

I wonder if they can play together?

 

Yet there are numerous posters in the game thread calling him and the Rockets out.

Harden is approaching averaging 33 points a game... the Rockets are undefeated with Chris Paul. The Rockets were 14-1 I’m theor last 15.... last game Harden scored a dozen points in the 4th and the Rockets came back to win.

However tonight the Rockets were doomed after the 3rd quarter?

And Harden ends up scoring 12 straight and the Rockets comeback to win tonight.

 

Reading the Pels forum & they're blaming the refs like Blazers fans lol.

My favorite rant

 

lol in pels forum, their game thread title: pels @ rockets (Upset Time). it's pretty suiting

 

just wait until he sees the Rockets vs Pelicans highlights

 

I'm not waiting to post these- sickening- there are a lot of posts about anger at the way the Rockets played early on, those are 100% understandable, but it's this ****:

@Rocketeer4Life Games like this make Barkley and Shaq smile and confirm that our defense is a fraud.

@CK Johnson MDA is the ****ing worst.

@Cstyle42 Rockets at home are trash to me no pride on the homecourt... just lets teams come on toyota center and own us. Come on in spurs and own us friday night (I'm personally commenting on this one: "What the **** is wrong with you? You want the Spurs to own us? Get the **** out of here, you miserable piece of **** fan.")

@RocketsTruth pretty much this, cp3 is more concerned with assist hunting than scoring the ball...we need a klay thompson type or bradley beal type next to harden more than cp3

@AXG Why would LeBron want to come to Houston - losing to a mediocre team without its best player? Pathetic

Again, I repeat, there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying stuff like "we're playing like garbage tonight...", etc.- but these quotes are ****ing bullshit.

 

Unbelievable watching this team play ball, specifically Harden.

He is simply unreal.

 

Wow, that was "fun."

So similar to last game. The Pelicans were just absolutely on fire for 3/4ths of the game, hitting everything they threw up. A LOT of their shots were contested well, but it didn't matter. The fact that we caught two teams in a row who were so hot shooting, makes me question our defense a little bit. But, I also feel that they just got flukey performances out of a couple of players. Still, we have got to bring that 4th quarter defensive intensity to a couple of more quarters, and not just play that way when we absolutely have to.

What a beauty of a 4th quarter. Chris Paul set it up, and Harden knocked them down. Clutch play after clutch play. I almost completely counted us out in the late 3rd quarter, but I'm learning my lesson to never do that.

What a team. Are you not entertained?

 

Eat One More eats one more loss!

 

Pelicans have fans? let alone a fan forum? In all seriousness the Pelicans are going to be a team we want to avoid in the playoffs if they add a shooter at the trade deadline and Davis is healthy. Right now Rondo is back to his prime self and that frontline if healthy can wear teams out in a long series.

 

Having a hand up in front of a shooter isn't great D.
