ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 1/17/2015

The lottery team at least beat Warriors once 115-105 without Kobe.

 

Stop posting

 

Man this sucks but lot of you act like the sky is falling. It is one regular season game.

 

It is only January for other teams, too. They also have time to improve just like the Rockets do.

The Rockets are a good, 50+ win level team. They have had some winds over high level team and have had some bad losses. Tonight, by itself, doesn't change this. However, this is looking like yet another "coin flip" kind of year beginning in the 1st round of the playoffs unless Morey trades for a substantial upgrade.

 

Props to Kerr. I doubted him but man he has them balling. Coach of the year. You see homers, Curry doesnt iso like Harden does. Just let that sink in.

 

The mother ****ing sky is falling

 

But but but coaching doesn't matter and yet we have seen Kerr clean McFail's Dock three times already.

Come playoff time, coaching matters even more. This team has zero chance with McHale unless Harden goes super MVP ham. Rockets record of 28-13 is despite McHale not because of him. The chump is a liability

 

Started the same way Trevor Ariza did. :grin:

2-4
3-5
6-8
2-5
1-4
0-5
3-7
1-3
2-3
1-6
2-6
0-5
1-5(Orlando)
1-4(OKC)
1-3(tonight)

 

Warriors will be out in round one watch! Sounds crazy now but watch how it pans out when they gotta play Okc or clippers in first round.

 

Its not. We already have this team out the first round. We are just yelling at management to pick that **** up

 

Worth nothing that, given the strength and depth of the Western Conference, it's a coin-flip year for every team. Maybe not the Warriors, but then again they could draw the Spurs or OKC in the first round.

Didn't watch the game. Seems like one of those night that means I have a h*ll of a lot more perspective than the rest of y'all.

 

At this point not having Kobe is a plus.

Live by the D, die by the D.

 

The rockets have beaten the warriors multiple times.
Tonight was a fluke
Harden will bounce back
and hope Josh Smith will be able to contribute more
In a 7-game series, I think we have a good chance at beating them.
Clippers might be the toughest for us.

 

Mchale and Harden need to take responsibility. We we we. No b**** its YOU.

 

Lighten up, Frances.

Live by the Harden, die by the Harden.

 

Hella right on the money, this post is.

 

Yeah and he torched Klay in the game at Oakland. Bad nights happen.

 

Except in the playoffs the Rockets averaged about 115 points per 100 possessions vs. the Blazers. Whatever D the Blazers play didn't really work all that well. It's the Rockets own defensive failure and the Blazers' offensive success that allowed the Blazers to win.
