ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 2/25/2015

Patience is a virtue.

 

Was so stoked when Beard went 5-hole on CP0. Nutmegged!

Paul mad that Harden sonned him w/ the pass through his legs earlier #FearTheBeard

Prigioni sure looks to be an upgrade at PG.

Here's what I've noticed about him so far:

Handles the ball extremely well. Has great handles
Rarely loses his dribble in traffic and gets trapped (reminds me of Nash).
Makes smart entry passes to bigs in the post.
Also very smart when penetrating the lane and setting up bigs for easy dunks or shots.
He anticipates passing lanes pretty well too on defense.

I think he's a great pickup.
He may not be the defensive pest that Bev is, but he's a MUCH better QB on the floor.
He limits turnovers and always looks to make a play for those around him.

 

Harden went five-hole on Chris Paul
and Prigs went five-hole on himself!

What's the W-L stats for when the Rockets go double five-hole? I bet we're undefeated.

 

Loved hearing the MVP chants for Harden tonight.

 

What I like the most about him is he calms everyone down and establishes order in the chaotic 2nd unit.

 

Are we 3-0 since getting/playing Prigs? Or 2-0?

 

No Blake = No Dwight?

Hmmm...

 

2-0. Remember we lost to the Mavwrecks.

 

I really dislike that team! I realize all teams complain to the refs, but Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan take it to a new level! They both deserve multiple technicals per game...

 

The Clippers may be our kryptonite but Austin Rivers is winning's kryptonite

 

Toronto, Minnesota, Clippers

3-0 in the lunar new years jerseys, should we make it our official jersey?

 

That's right, he didn't play against the Mavwrecks .

So technically 3-0.

 

I don't think the trade had been finalized when we played Dallas (no one else from the deadline played that day)

 

Everyone in the thread talking about Harden being weak etc against the Clppers much not watch the game. They literally double teamed him on every play. He got his team involved and they stepped up.

That's the Clippers game plan. Force someone else to beat you. And tonight the bench stepped up.

 

Very true, but Harden had plenty of open looks he needs to knock down against them. Good game, nonetheless.

 

The Headbangers were in full effect for Houston's bench, awesome job .

 

Valid point. definitely can't shoot that bad on open looks.

 

Yeah, but if he distributes and limits turnovers like he did tonight, we can handle the occasional subpar shooting night from him. It just can't be a consistent thing.
