ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 12/7/2016

dang... missed it by 4 points

 

statement game.

 

When was the last time Harden has not played in the 4th? Anyone?

 

Finally we take care of business and the best part: we played a very sloppy game. Gordon, Harrell, Dekker are really an amazing bench. Brewer chipped in today too and really is only good when he gets steals and can get out running. This time, we ran! Anyway, if D-Mo comes back, I don't want anything to mess with the chemistry these guys are developing. Beverley is definitely back with the high energy and hustle plays. We getting hustle on the boards from Beverley, Harrell, Dekker and Anderson. Great to see! Nene is of course a monster. I really hope MDA continues with playing 10 guys, so both Nene & Harrell. The latter is showing that he can shoot the outside shot a bit, put it on the floor and those dunks, oh my..
With regards to the sloppy play: way too many passes in traffic, need to cut down on those. Everything else is just clicking so need to keep it going against OKC.

 

When was the last time he had to sit out due to injury? It was probably that game lol

 

2015, Game 6 @Clippers

#clutchcity


He did shoot a couple FTs

 

EGO shot 8-12 3PT and 1-1 2PT

His 2PTer was an acrobatic layup initiated by a nice crossover, - ESPN highlight-style


AWESOME game and signing.

 

It was good to hear how excited James was about Pat almost getting a triple double


Also liked how MDA let him stay out there a few extra minutes to try and get it.

Very revealing post game press conference

 

Team needs to find another playmaker for the second unit in case someone gets injured.

 

Dmo?

 

Other than that first loss @ Lakers (they are 6-5 at home), the Rockets don't have a single loss that most would say they should have won. That's really damn impressive. They are destroying teams that have mediocre or worse defenses.

 

I think we should've beaten the Thunder as well as the Jazz.

 

I really think that Spurs game in a week or so is going to be for the 2 seed.... if we beat okc and the Dallas I don't think we lose any other game before that Spurs game.

We would be riding a 10 game win streak and would have won 15 out of the last 17.

This team is really good and people need to adjust there expectations.

Are we Warriors level? Prob not but I'm begining to think this teams ceiling might be 2nd best in the west and 3rd best team overall after the dubs and Cavs.

It's hard for me to say the clips are better than us in fact I'm quite sure there not. The Spurs are the Spurs but i have been watching them very closely lately, there not the same team as in years past.

 

Eric Gordon needs to slightly sprain his ankle more often!

 

SO MUCH THIS!

has a star skills and is a two way player!

 

The Spurs a quiet 18-4. They don't have a tough opponent before us. So they might be rolling in at 23-4.

 

True but I just think there's a possibility they lose 2 games putting that one of a winner take all.

Because if our records are ties after that game we hold the tie breaker.

 

Noooooo!!!!!

 

I guess Lou Williams' three at the halftime buzzer didn't really hurt us that badly.

 

@ OKC tomorrow
