Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 9/6/2020 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 2)

If we still look terrible at the half. Mike needs to experiment here. We need something to use going into game 3.

 

Russ 1/6 3TO

 

Rockets playing to fast and the refs not goin to bail them out with a foul call. Now is the time to methodical. The Rockets are not going to get all the points back in one possession.

I wish they would just calm down.

 

It's early. Even if it ends up being a blowout, the Rockets are 1-1 while technically being the away team. If they can cut it 10 or 12 points before half, it's still a very winnable game.

 

Rockets has been scored 14 points on due to WB and Rivers turnovers. Can someone tell them that this is a playoff game? Not only TO's damage the Rockets, their crappy shooting á 2 of 8 has been awful.

 

what's new?

 

I;m not enjoying it at all but have to admit the Lakers' change in intensity from Game 1 is impressive.

They've taken their D up to a much higher gear than what we saw the other day, Rockets going to have to lift their rating exponentially to get back into this one

 

Westbrook is just a walking bad decision.

 

They dug a deep hole, especially with foster reffing tonight smh! I expected a different game but not like this. Going to have to make some adjustments against the zone.

 

Westbrook low iq is a rollercoaster

 

So Kuzma falling down on Russ' drive is not a blocking foul, but a light tap on Lebron other end is?

 

This is so ****ing embarrassing holy ****. Look like an actual high school team.

 

that's the spirit.

 

I'm not going to be mad tonight. It is what it is. We saw it coming once the officials were announced but what's crazy is the officiated hasn't been too bad.

 

Nah, I think this is a unique situation where it's games at the same gym with different sound effects

in a way, it's pure

 

Westbrook's 1 of 6 shooting along with his 3 TO's has killed the Rockets this far.

 

oh no pj hit a 3. i guess he's gonna get his 3rd foul now.

 

This 3-2 is perfect against us. Crash on the driver and make us shoot. We have to drive, dish, and swing it around to beat it. But, we also can't be afraid to shoot it either.

 

The Lakers' adjustments are on point. So is their effort and concentration. It seems like they know exactly where the next pass is going. Not sure what the goal for this game is now that it seems like they got us tonight and we have most of the game to go.

 

40pt loss coming if no adjustments are made
