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

We woulndt need to go small if we had Lillard, we could just go small for certain minutes of the game.

 

Scheduled loss.

At the end, the better team will win.

Btw, Markis Morris can make those 3-pointers. He is no Dort, so don't give him a freebie.

We will get them next game.

 

if they still had CP3, the rockets never go all in on small ball and they don't have covington. so it's a wash.

 

Just want to make sure I understand where you are coming from Space....tonight and going forward, make EGO, Green,House,Rivers beat you when Jimmy is doubled ? We KNOW WB ain't cutting it from 3. McLemore's absence is a head scratcher. RoCo and Tucker pretty good from 3.We scored 17 points in the 4th ! Where was penetration to the basket (I'm talking to you "Can't guard me" WB. We can't win consistently without Jimmy shooting. JMO. How many points did Jimmy have in the 2nd half, specifically 4th qtr. ?

 

Move off the ball. There are other ways to score the basketball besides having it from the start. Run off a screen, cut. Just move. We waste Westbrook.

 

Or....maybe we still trade Capela, but we use those picks on upgrades elsewhere.

 

Westbrook wastes Westbrook

 

Westbrook did not play very good. The game was lost in those minutes where Harden was on the bench, and Westbrook didn't take over (having deja vu from last year). TBH Westbrook probably should have been benched in the 4th, and D'antoni should've ran Harden/Gordon/House/Covington/Tucker for better spacing since Westbrook struggled to find lanes to attack.

 

I dont want to hate on the guy, I am frustrated by his play but I do believe it when he says he will be better for game 3.

 

Now you are just looking for any reason to hate... you know I’m a a harden hater but I’ll put a harden Avatar so no one can see my agenda .. Get real... it’s obvious what you doing.. we waste Westbrook?
You blaming harden for Westbrook being a dumb basketball player?

 

I doubt the Rockets still trade Capela with CP3.

 

Can we not talk about "if" we had CP3 or "if" we had Lillard? Like, what's even the point?

Those two aren't going to be playing in game 3. Westbrook is.

 

I think they do, they could probably then use the picks to get someone like Christian Wood or something.

 

Lillard looked like garbage against the lakers. Not as bad as dumbrick but still pretty bad

 

That's because hed be the number one option. If he played with Harden.....BOY OH BOY.

 

How do we get Feb/Mar Russell back

 

Lol no attempt to hide it at all.

Scott Foster is an NBA-endorsed criminal

 

Harden should be coming off screens and cutting when they are doubling him when he has the ball like that. Westbrook excels at driving the basketball and dishing. We have him shooting 3s. Yes we are wasting one of the few good things that Westbrook brings to the table. It’s not hard to comprehend.

 

Yep, Harden was right...it's personal with Foster.
