ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Celtics 12/28/2017

Welp...they are on a b2b?

We really need this one, especially since our next game is tomorrow...

 

We're fooked.

 

Have faith.

Over/under 7.5 players play for us tonight.

Area 21 is dog ****.

Harden,cp,capela ~> unbeatable
Harden,cp3 -> still very good
Harden by himself-> meh

Idk if this is the 4th straight today...

 

Which person on Boston is gonna go off for 40+?

 

“Chris Paul has a groin strain and the hope was he could play either Thursday or in Friday night's game at Washington -- not in both.

"I'm not confident," coach Mike D'Antoni told the Houston Chronicle. "He wants to (play). Trying to hold him back is hard. We want to make sure he's 100 percent. I'm confident against the Lakers at home (on Monday) he'll be back. I'm hopeful for one of these two games, but I don't want to go there yet."

Talking about Capela, D'Antoni said, "He's the one guy that gives us that weapon on lobs and dunks and rim protection. "He's the one vertical (spacing) guy. We can do it without him. We need to do it. But that's kind of like the straw that breaks the camel's back. When you have Chris and Luc (shoulder) out, that's three of your top guys and three of your best defenders. That makes it tough.“”

Boston isn’t unbeatable so I have faith. They have struggled a little bit going 5-5 in their last 10. Their defense and rebounding have been slipping. In their past 12 games they have ranked 14th in offensive efficiency and 16th in defensive efficiency. They will also be without Jaylen Brown.

Let’s go Rockets.

 

playing @Boston is easily one of the hardest away games of the year even if they are on a b2b. CP3 should just rest so we get a boost for the next game.

 

If Tucker/Ariza/Road Ryno can stop Tatum from heating up too quick, try to contain Kyrie with Nene/Black stopping Baines we can win this. Harden may need to go 40+ if it's only him who got the hot hand, and I hope he isnt shy about lobbing up plays with Gerald Green with the dunks. #RunAsOne
Believe in H-town! Go Rockets

 

Boston playing the 2nd game of b2b, and we r missing several key players on the road!
Lets hope HarGod Ego and ROAD Ryno take us to victory!
Go Rockets!

 

whoop!

 

Well as of this point, I just hope we can hold on to the #2 seed. I think we've lost the #1 seed already. Schedule gets tougher for us and the Spurs are getting stronger as well.

Warriors getting Steph back Saturday maybe so I'm not expecting them to lose anytime soon.

 

One we get Cp3 back, we are not expecting to loose either. We just need him Capela and Luc back healthy.

 

NBA is cracking down on sitting stars on the road. Only way to do this is for Rockets to announce that Harden is sitting due to "soreness" or something.

 

He is already ruled out, Jaylen brown and morris are also out for the celts.
Its a tough game but i feel we need this game really badly. Get the confidence back up and also show that u can win without capela and paul. That would do wonders for team confidence and probably allow us to rest cp3 tomorrow.
I am pretty sure todays result has nothing to do with pauls availability tomorrow but it could give us more leeway to rest him

 

should be a good game.....Ryan Anderson to hit 6 threes and get 25pts in a good road win

 

let's go rockets! let's handle these peter pans with authority!

 

why the hell is it blacked out on tnt?

 

Lol I’ve just put on the game. And I was looking for green.
Funny thing is he was just getting the teams jersey and sweater. He was smiling and the staff too then was warming up and shooting.
