ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 11/9/2013

HackaHoward vs hackaJordan ! Funniest game on planet earth.

 

i'd like to see us make shots, we're shooting some 31% on threes right now, and there's been a lot of open ones

 

I have a feeling we are going to win this one, and Bev is going to break CP3 leg! GO BEVERLEY!

 

CP3 would fall even before Bev touches him.

 

OKAY ENOUGH WITH THE TWIN TOWER!..

 

We must come out strong! No more getting run out of the gym the entire first half!

 

I don't know I have got this feeling that we are going to win tonight, I'm not sure why but I'm not frightened by this game, the Clippers don't look very threatening when they play away from their home floor, I mean they lost to the Orlando Magic, I believe that we will be able to win this one.

I think our players need to have a motivational conversations with each other, and let's not forget that this team is pretty much new, we still need to build chemistry between the players.

I believe the Rockets will bring an explosive performance tonight against the Clippers, all we need to do is believe.

 

(Optimistic) Predictions:

1. TT&Bev start, but WITH either Lin, Garcia or Casspi in the 1st squad (as 2,3,3 respectively). It works very well defensively and OK offensively.
In the 3Q - TT actually takes us ahead by double figures.

2. We limit Griffin & Jordan to their season minimum in Pts and Rebs (like we did last game, BTW!!)

3. Paul has another mild game (around 15/3/10).

4. Harden with a nice 20/6/6 combo and some D in 35 min.

5. We get hot from 3pt from 2Q and on (pretty much everyone - Garcia, Casspi, Parsons, Lin & Harden).

6. Asik puts up nice numbers + Smith, D-Mo and/or Jones get some 15+ minutes combined PT in the 3&4Q to prevent DH12-hacking.

Bottom line: a nice 15pt win - 120:105
and a needed revenge (3rd straight loss for LAC).

 

First of all, "McFail" was used before Lin was signed. Second, there is nothing infantile about "Haren", people have been calling Kidd Ason for a long time.

Quit the witch hunt.

 

Anyways, IMO last game was the refs giving them homecourt calls, they don't have that this game anymore. That's it, we win.

 

Here is A. Davis stat line from last night against the Lakers

A. Davis 32 Pts, 12 Reb, 3 Ast, 1 Stl, 6 Blk

The media is going eat Howard up again for his performance. Wondering why he didn't put up a stat line like this against the Lakers.

 

wtf, dude, this is basketball not MMA

 

hopefully mchail learns his lesson

 

Don't count on it. Mcfail never learn.

 

Why would anybody wish something like that on any players. And praise a player for injuring another player. That is lower than low and very classless.

 

He is not a Rockets fan, maybe a fan of Bev?

 

If he runs the Twin Tower lineup out there tonight, I'm officially on the Fire McHale bandwagon. The hell with Asik's fragile ego. You can get away with spotting the Jazz a 19-point first half lead and almost do the same against the Lakers, but the Clippers will run the Rockets out of the building if McHale tries to start both Howard and Asik again.

 

Don't expect defense from Harden, guys, then you won't be disappointed.

 

Almost hahahaha he did spot the Lakers a 19 point lead in the 1st quarter. And the Clippers already blew us out just the other day.

 

Whats up Clutchfans? Will we turn it up or slip back to mediocrity?
