ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 5/14/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 6)

FU Coach.
(1) It is not like you have a good FT team.
(2) Your team is leading.
(3) You are playing on the road.

Dum as

 

West Point! A better place to buy. **** that horrible annoying commercial.

 

if we lose this game, it's on mchale wholeheartedly...

what an idiot to disrupt a rhythm that took ages to come by...and have it blow up in your face..

that's grounds to get fired imo

and the ironic thing is he's against it in the interview....dude thinks he's popovich...

 

Down by 2 at half I'll take that. Bad call on starting the hacka stuff, but, hopefully he learned his lesson for this game. Dont stop momentum. Anyways, were in this one. If we win the second half by 3 points we win the game.

ROCKETS!!

 

McHale destroyed team rhythm with the hacking, then Howard goes brickfest. Bad end to the half, BUT only down by two. It's a game. The Rockets are on the verge of "clicking." They are really close, I can feel it. Boom or bust in the second half. Let's take this back to Houston.

 

HEY KEVIN!

You use hack-a to kil their momentum, not your OWN. SMH.

 

Clippers fed off Deandre hitting those free throws. It woke them up. Good job McHale, now they got all the confidence going into halftime you dolt.

 

Good half, nonetheless.

Houston is definitely fighting but got to limit our mistakes.

Clippers are going to try to explode at half, hope we make necessary adjustments.

This game is completely winnable, just need to keep playing. No lapses.

 

for a few short minutes I was happy with McHale...

the small ball, the well timed timeout once we had a stupid hectic possession.... we were up 5 with 2minutes left.

NOPE. F US. we intentionally foul FOR NO GDM REASON after he's made his first 2....and he makes THOSE and then they outscore us by 7 in the last 2 freaking minutes. In the Cavs-Bulls game those guys had trouble scoring 7pts in a whole freaking quarter, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo we just let them score 11 f$%^@ing pts in a 2min span because we SUCK and cant keep a lead even when we have ALL the flow.

Unbelievable. What a waste of a quarter.

I know its close, I know there's a chance, but DAMMIT!

 

Jordan should reconsider a new 'idol'. Why worship a loser like Dwight..

 

Right, McHale is to blame for the fact that Jordan is outshooting Howard at the line by 83 percentage points.

 

it's starting to seem like deandre jordan is better than dwight howard in almost everything

 

I think minimum 65% (and that's being generous).... I mean it's free ****ing points, God damn mental midgets, especially since the guy can do it in "practice".... ****!!!! He should just shoot underhand,

 

Classic stuff fellas.

"Foul Jordan"

*fouls Jordan

"Why would you do that? Horrible."

Wouldn't be clutchfans without that...

 

Everyone needs to cool it on giving mchale crap on the hack. He did it once, and it was a smart time to do it. Doc was smart as well in fouling d12. The difference is DJ stepped up and made a shot and Dwight threw up epic bricks

 

He doesn't deserve to be a maximum player.

 

ESPN only wants to talk about our free throws.

 

I wish I was top dog at a massive company. NIKE lets say. Then I would be able to call the NBA and say my dollars are going elsewhere if you don't fix this hacka crap. It is annoying. It is cowardly and it is unsportsmanlike. Yea. I know we are doing it. We need to stop. This dilutes the enjoyment of the game. Don't feed me this crap of players need to learn to shoot free throws. I agree. They should. BUT, you can not argue that a team should GAIN an advantage by committing MORE fouls in a quarter. They should not GAIN an advantage. PERIOD. The NBA needs to crap an idea on how to address. There are SO many options. I think 2 plus the ball is probably too far. Again I say give the fouled team a CHOICE. They can choose free throws or they can choose to take the ball out of bounds. OR. Allow the sh!tty free throw shooter the choice to stand out of bounds and as long as he is out of bounds it is 2 + the ball if he is fouled. But something has to be done about this farce of a strategy.

 

We were on the verge of getting blown out, but Harden completely took over in the 2nd quarter! Poor shooting (4-13) but two 3's and 11 FTs

 

If we could just make some dang shots
