ClutchFans Game Thread: Celtics @ Rockets 3/3/2018

eric gordons best game of the season.

**** got real tense in the 4th and he made big shot after big shot to keep them in the game.

 

Ariza's Highlights


Gordon's Highlights

 

That game was bad-****ing-ass.

That is all.

 

What a game! Finally I can catch a breath!

 

Sounds like you don’t live and die with the Rockets. I do.

 

If you are wondering what that weird, loud sound was... it was the collective grown of Warrior fans going WTF, AGAIN!!!!

 

there's a lot to not be happy about with pringles' coaching tonite. but the highlight for me was leaving CP3 alone in the celts' frontcourt. you have an extra defender on an inbounds situation so why waste him 85 feet away from the opponents rim with just 3 seconds left? sometimes i think he is just extremely lazy when it comes to in game management

 

15 point loss.

He yelled at Tucker to get off the court and saved us a tech!

 

Did not play well as a team, the Celts played amazing, and we still won.

WOW.

DD

 

I'll take the W

 

I don't think thats automatic. he takes shots and defense away from whats working with them right now.

 

Great win!

Maybe the Celtics should have won but we pulled it out.

Make up for the robbery they did the last time we played.

 

I'm still sitting here wondering how we won this game?

 

Wow.......

 

A lot of what ifs here, look at Capela's missed dunk, the Ariza put back that sat on the hell of the rim. Very flukey game that went Boston's way the majority of the night. Just played out that way, not the refs fault. You could practically hear the Rockets players and crowd groaning, eye balls rolling. Half of their points were scored by their bench this game, the Raptors bench they're not, not even close. That's utterly absurd and may never happen again.

Stevens came up with an effective game plan that made us pay for switching, kudos to him. They've also feasted on the EC the entire season let's not forget. Those stats are slightly skewed and would be diminished playing in the WC. Nonetheless, they do defend well, with Smart leading the way. This is also the same team that got ran out of the gym at home by 20 points vs. the Cavs a few weeks back. That's not happening to this Rockets team this year, no matter who they play. The Celtics may win 2 games if they play the Raptors in the playoffs this year. Next year will be a different story with a healthy Hayward of course.

 

Who would have thought having a 2nd superstar & adding 2 solid defenders helps

 

Why are people acting like Boston were blowing us out for most of the game? We were the better team whenever Harden was on the floor but they kept killing us whenever he sat. CP3 plays to his potential tonight & it would've been a comfortable win.

MDA forcing Iso Joe into the rotation has hurt our bench play.

 

Another Rockets win. Another meltdown at Warriors forums.
