ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 11/17/2023

"teen wolf iso" is crazy lol

 

he literally plays basketball so he can buy shoes.

 

Def missed calls but rockets killed themselves.
Lots of missed shots at the rim
Bad challenge in the 1st half which left them with no challenges late
Biggest blunder was the Eason pass across the court at then end of the half with 4 seconds that led to George 3 at the buzzer.

 

To be absolutely fair, Rockets played really good defense on that and broke the play for Kawhi. He threw the ball to Harden with 3 seconds left on the clock. Of course, Harden is still an elite scored, and this isn't game 6 of the playoffs, so he can make those shots. Tate just ****ed up undercutting him (it really should of been a flagrant foul based on how they've emphasized protecting the shooter's landing space).

 

Our lengthy defender bother them all night, Amen will be a thorn in their side….the next time we play them.

 

Dillon the homeless Jordan with no hangtime.

Sometimes he is looking like a fat fish out of water.

 

Yeah that Ime challenge was a HUGE head-scratcher for me.
Early on and not a huge momentum moment either.
Not to mention it was obvious that it would be denied as well!
The ONLY thing is that even if he didn't use it there the fact that there were SO MANY bogus calls this game means he probably would have used it somewhere else before the 4th and wouldn't have it available to use on the JG play at the end anyway!

 

Find my post where I blame him for the loss. If there are proximate causes for this loss, it’s the Tari turnover at the end of the 3rd that gave PG a wide open 3 and the complete failure by FVV and Jalen to run a decent play in the final minute of the 4th.

But none of that changes the fact that Jabari is nothing more than a utility-level player and always will be. He should be coming off the bench but unfortunately, we don’t have a legit alternative.

 

Rockets really could have ended Harden and the Clippers careers. They were that close to ending them forever

Harden loses this game and it's over.

 

If only Jalen didn't attempt that fast break layup...

Totally ruined momentum

 

When is Amen Thompson supposed to be back?

 

Jabbari with great D at the end

 

I saw he’s not back for this road trip, so maybe the first game back home.

 

No doubt the refs sucked but a big reason the game was close was Tucker and Westbrook hemorrhaging the big lead the Clips starters had built up. They were real bad.

 

Makes me want to quit watching

LET THE PLAYERS DETERMINE THE OUTCOME

Get rid of ‘superstar’ calls/non-calls

FUKKKN HATE THE NBA.

PJ Tucker doesn’t even seem playable anymore

 

They showed Jalen being CLEARLY fouled on the hand by Kawhi on that TO and then tick tac at the other end. The missed FT from Alpy hurt but I'm not criticizing a guy who has been money with over 20 pts. the last 3 games. Agree the game was there for the taking...we gave the game away as well.Lot of CHEAP calls though.JMO.

 

The fact that Ime didn't get tossed tonight is crazy... Rudy T would've lost his mutha ****ing mind!

 

Jalen and Jabari in West Hollywood tonight.
