ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 2/11/2015

If JVG is the commentator. We win by default.

If it's Jackson or Barry, so God help me

 

Clippers have been horrendous lately and Griffin is out.
If we don't win, we don't deserve to to even make the playoffs.

Time after time we always lose to this Clippers team and I have no idea why.

 

Beverly will get abused by Christ Paul definitely.

 

Hope DMo stays on the floor, Harden can't win them all alone. OK guys, last game before VACATION!!! W is a must

 

This is our best chance to win vs Clippers. Ariza vs Paul, Brewer vs Crawford, Smith vs Jordan.

Harden must explode again. Hope DMo finds his groove again and Papa contributes

 

wouldnt it be cool to have papa, dragic, and dmo all on one team

Dragic/ Canaan/Shved
Harden/ Brewer/Nick Johnson
Ariza/ Papa
DMo/ Josh Smith/ Clint Capela
Dwight/ Miles Plumlee/ Joey Dorsey

my prediction of our team after the trade deadline

 

Lets beat these crybabies!

 

sorry i know that was kind of random, but man i miss gogi bad.... i feel like with gogi we wouldnt be overmatched going up againist opposing pg's anymore like we are right now( we would be able to get as good as we give). Also am i the only one who feels bev is super overrated in 2k15... no way his overall should be only 4 points behind gogi... but perhaps that may help us if other gms around the league overvalue bev and his 2nd team all def selection last year

In that case lets make Bull short for "Bullseye" because he's always on target :grin:

 

The Rockets are winning this one.

 

are you guys at all worried about injuries to Harden?

In is beast mode over the last 4 games, the guy have play 40 mpg!!!!!

this can't be good right? somebody more knowledgeable probably have the stats between minutes played and likelihood of injury....

 

If all we had to give up was Bev, Terry, and Tjones Morey would be da Gawd!
I imagine a lot of first round picks are being thrown in with this, haha

 

He's about to get a long break, so I'm not too worried about his body breaking down. His style of play makes him at risk of injury every time he's on the floor (attacking the basket and creating contact allows more opportunities of getting hurt), but that's not really something that can be avoided.

 

With Blake out, Rockets should be able to take this game. Probably easier said than done though.

 

Harden is averaging over 36mpg this year. For reference, Kobe averaged 41mpg in the year he scored his most points and was over 40mpg on multiple years. Durant and Lebron both have been 38-40mpg in their MVP seasons.

36mpg is certainly doable for a MVP-candidate.

 

They're definitely letting Harden do his thing these 5 games leading up to the All star break. I think its worth it to potentially go 4-1 vs 5 playoff teams in a row and build momentum going into the final stretch.

 

who is replacing him in the lineup?

 

I'll be on the lookout for you.

 

Thanks Cod. Great info & good to know DH will be alright be4 playoffs.

 

I'm ready to rumble. The Rockets had a long day to rest. I really want to stick it to these guys. I seriously dislike the Clippers.
