ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 4/9/2025

Playing Harden in the playoffs is pretty tuff????

 

Surprised that they didn't list Sengun out with chin soreness.

 

Historically speaking - that ain't the body part one has to worry about with Udoka when he's feeling it.

 

ed malloy

and silver sent marc davis for the fakers

 

You know I can wake up tomorrow morning, make myself a cup of coffee, pour myself a bowl of cereal and turn on the game knowing I don't give a **** if Harden goes for 50 cause the Rockets are locked into the 2nd seed baby!

 

I want the clippers in the first round. They’re the only team I feel they have the best chance of beating in the playoffs.

Rockets should try to win this game.

 

I believe the Rockets are too young, fast and physical with too many good defenders for the Clippers to stand a chance in a 7 game series. Unless Leonard's bones are suddenly made of steel and Harden's ready to hustle, dive for loose balls, etc. the entire game - Rockets in 6. I love Harden but (mental) behavior patterns don't lie.

 

Harden and kawhi.

 

Clippers are one of the hottest teams in the West...historically, Harden plays well in the 1st round...we need to distract him with strip clubs and throwing Harden appreciation nights at the clubs

 

The only team? OKC is my only concern in the West. Not that any of the other playoff teams are bad or wouldn't be difficult...but I think we're right there or a little better than everyone else.

 

Like Harden and Dwight, Harden and Chris Paul, Harden and Russel Westbrook, Harden and Embiid, Harden and Durant, Harden and Irving??

 

The Clippers can essentially be 3rd seed and are currently on fire. I rather avoid them if possible u might consider harden a choker but kawhi is not someone u want to b playing against especially when healthy.

I rather face Grizzlies wolves or nuggets over Clippers Lakers warriors.

 

Wouldn't mind facing OKC in the playoffs.

 

Man this game starting three in the morning @Os Trigonum get your mid day nap in!

 

NOW it’s time for the Reed and Cam show.

 

rest our guys. play the C Team.

Get your Jack McVeigh parlays ready.

 

@Snow Villiers

 

I took the under for Sengun and Jalen points. They should both rest, but my bet pretty much guarantees they will both play a ton tonight....

 

Should be interesting to see the starting line-up.

 

Harden has for sure been a choker his entire career, maybe this year is different..... Perhaps he is focused knowing that time is running out, I don't want to face anyone in the playoffs.. Everyone is good and The Rockets are just barely starting to turn into contenders, I don't expect anything from them even against Harden and The Clippers or anyone in the west.
