Clutchfans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 9/8/2020 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 3)

Bron just wanted it more.
Simple......

Harden and Westbrook don't deserve a championship...
This team has been average at best all year...

 

Anyone who says Westbrook is not the reason we lost didn't watch the 4th quarter when lakers made a run with Westbrook leading the team and harden on the bench.

 

Lakers bench points 42
Rockets 16

Ball game

 

Lebron is afraid of Kawhi.

Watch him defer when Kawhi has him locked up.

 

What happened to Ego and Cov tonite?
only 10 pts each . . .

I feel like DanAndToni about to turn into the Coach on the Waterboy

"Harden cannot do this alone!!! We have to win as a team!!"
pulls Harden to the side
"Harden you have to do this alone . . no one else here is any good!!"

LMAOI

We need a roster spot for a cheerleader...wow,way to go Chandler ! Worthless as t*** on a boar hog.

 

Any news on house yet?

 

I fully expect us to lose this series. All they have to do is double-team Harden and it's game over. We're 18 months down the line and MDA still hasn't got an answer to the double-teaming on Harden.

Westbrook can't shoot, so they would rather him attacking the paint to either take a contested layup or if he forces it out. Gordon, Tucker and Covington have to do more on the offense. They're playing big minutes and barely giving us anything on the offense.

I think the Lakers win this in 6. But I don't think they win the championship, simply because they can't shoot consistently from the 3pt line. Our paint defense is trash because we have too many small players..... and they're just taking advantage of it.

 

It will be okay. Close your eyes. It will all be over soon. Look at the flowers.

 

I honestly can only see us winning the series if we win both the next games, if the Lakers get to 3 wins first it's over for us, there's still hope for us though.

 

Westbrook and Harden played their asses off. We didn't lose because of them. Gordon, Covington, Tucker, and the rest of the role players needed to step it up more, and they didn't do it. Would have been good to have House around too. Sometimes the better team wins, and the Lakers were better tonight.

 

Dude's made shot last game. Don't know what you are even talking about. If Cov is alright and House returns we will adjust and get better.

 

So with the Westbrook experiment ending up a failure, do the Rockets blow it all up and tank for several years or do they gut it out being mediocre while they are stuck with Westbrook under contract?

 

i really hope covington is ok.

 

We are down 2-1, yall need to calm down. Let's see what happens in game 4 before you guys start panicking.

 

Rondo hit 2 3's, Caruso hit a 3 and that was the game. I don't see how that's Westbrook's fault.

After they pulled him, Harden dribbled on his feet which led to a Rondo layup, and then Covington threw it away twice which sealed the game. Is that WB's fault too?

 

if rondo gets it going like that again just like in game 2, the lakers are opening up everything on their team. The rockets cannot continue to let Rondo do what he wants.

 

You have to play both ends....

What I don't understand is why you have R. Westbrook not playing when Lebron is sitting. It is a perfect time to push the ball. Lebron is the main guy running down blocking his shots. Let harden go after lebron.
