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

A trend? I think the Rockets are the only team in the NBA without some ugly ass sponsorship patch on our uniforms.

 

That irony.

Really low effort comment in response to an objective observation during the game. Harden gave up a switch and and two easy hook shots to Horford. The second one he would make >50% of the time.

Have fun with the echo chamber likes. I'll stay over here in the real world.

 

a 15 game streak and still can’t get any separation in the standings... geez

 

Agree about Green, but even Morey joked about the relationship between MDA and Joe. However, MDA’s trust in guys is why many perform great under him. This is the downside, his loyalty.

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

HP, we both know this is an important stat. The PJ #NoDud stat is critical!

 

That's what it takes to catch GS and then stay ahead of them. Crazy.

 

And Golden State has gone 8-1 and lost 1 game in the standings their last 9 games.

 

Yea but we did come back to take the lead from them so we have gained a couple games before the streak since they were ahead. Essentially we’re 2 games ahead right now since we have the tiebreaker

 

Good third string centers are hard to find it seems.

 

We were 4 games back at the start of the streak, and written off as incapable of catching them again.

I've always said this when people dumped on Houston fans. Give them a winning team, a contending team, with great players making great plays and a real shot at winning a title, and they can be as loud and as excited about their team as the fans of any city in the NBA. You quoted truth. This is the city of Houston I remember. The Oilers, the Astros, and the Rockets always had Houston fans going crazy when they were winning and it meant something. Today it means something. The Rockets have got Houston behind them now. The fans have their backs. I love it!

 

i have trust that JJ will get into shape and win us at least one game in the playoffs as well. but trying to work him into shape in probably our 2nd toughest game left on the remaining schedule vs a lineup that he's a surefire liability against and vs a lineup that green has already lit up in the previous meeting -- is just plain dumb

 

This is pure heart. We're lucky to have Ariza. Last year we only had one of him, now we have three. He and Tucker were huge on defense in the last few minutes of the game and clutch too.

 

lol. this was still a great post

 

EG hit a three almost every time the Rockets got behind by 5-6 pts

 

Come playoff time the TC will be rocking and rolling book it!!

 

You do know a undersized Harden is not stopping a skilled big man like Horford in the post.

Man the expectation level for some fan are so unrealistic.

Stop the nitpicking. We won for crying out load.
