ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 5/2/2018 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 2)

there are four, yes 4 utah jazz players at the postgame press table right now. they really milking this win like they know it's their last

 

Despite everything, rox were up in 4th. We can get the 2 games in slc.
Just please dont go back to the old habits of letting whoever Harden is guarding go off and put up career highs.

 

Paul can't defend anyone 1on1

 

Sigh, well I mean, if no one else is going to bring it besides Harden and Capella(and Tucker defensively,) we are gonna have a hard time.

 

nah they did that for all their wins too against OKC

 

It might be breh. This rockets season is not near over.

Rox just might roll up nd flex on them hoes friday

@FTW Rockets FTW

 

I got a huge back log of The Americans to watch on the DVR..

Media Black out until Friday.

 

Lol with that kind of effort they just might see 3 more.

 

It shouldn't take a bad effort/loss to wake this team up. It's the playoffs, time to bring it every game.

 

Paul was so supposed to motivate this team and inspire confidence like a vocal leader. Harden has never been taken up that role so Chris was supposed to step up to be the locker room leader. My guess is that since this team is full of vets, he thinks he doesn't need to speak up and tell everyone to be professionals. If you listen to his interviews, he's always saying "we all know what we supposed to do..we vets". That won't do Chris. We need someone to hype everyone up. That's what Jae Crowder is doing for the Jazz. It's what Draymond does for the Warriors.

 

No big deal...if we win game 3 we will also take game 4 and close out in 5 but if we lose game 3.....

 

Which is inexcusable. Did they not watch the Jazz-Thunder series? Utah lost Game 1, had a hobbled Mitchell going into Game 2, and then proceeded to win 3 straight and nearly closed the series out in OKC in Game 5. And they recovered nicely from that choke job to finish off the Thunder in Game 6. And that's to say nothing of their 31-10 record in the 2nd half of the season.

This is not some fluke 2nd round team like the 1994 Nuggets(and hell, even that bunch came back from an 0-3 deficit and took Utah to Game 7 before finally losing). This is a legit group that finished 5th in the West, just smacked OKC, and won a playoff series last year(against CP3 and Luc, no less). If that's not enough to garner respect from you, what is?

 

This is amazing video. The Media desperately wants Harden to lash out like Westbrook and he won't take the bait. Harden should take the bait so the media will like him more. The media loves to be cucked. They eat that sh-t up when Westbrook dominates them. Media doesnt even talk at full volume when they speak because they are scared of Russ. They whisper their questions.

 

I think we should start Luc over Ariza. Thoughts?

 

Wake up call over. We win the next 3

 

It's not against the rules to fire up a 3 with rebounders under the basket....the 3 pointer is there just as good at 10 seconds as it is at 18...it's a guaranteed one and done shot...and when you shoot 25%, it's double hard. Offensively, do we ever take it all the way to the basket w/o throwing out from 2 feet under the basket ?

 

That caption is way misleading lol. Harden doesnt stare the reporter down. He cracks jokes

 

Everybody on that Jazz team is a playmaker. Ingles gets the ball and looks for slashing players, Gobert gets the ball and looks for cutters, Mitchell ....

It'sgoing to confuse us and tire us. How did we react to this? Letting Ingles open for 3's also our offense looked like shot when people are just standing around waiting for Harden to get us a shot.

 

Im going to enjoy it because they will get it out before the rockets go game 3 on they ass
