ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 4/10/2017

The sky is falling!!!

 

Not too surprised the team just folded in the 2nd half. Here's to hoping they can flip the "switch" in the playoffs and we don't have a repeat of 2014.

 

That Blazers team was better than the current OKC team. We'll have to really not care to lose to this team.

 

That Rockets team also struggled mightily down the stretch. They lost 3 of 5 heading into the playoffs, and those 2 wins are deceptive. They won at home against New Orleans(I was at that game) just barely after trailing most of the night and the Pelicans weren't playing anyone in that one. Luke Freaking Babbitt was lighting them up. And the next game was a win over the Spurs, but again it was deceptive. Leonard, Mills, and Splitter all sat out. Plus Bev was banged up and it was a borderline miracle he was even available for the playoffs. Remember, we all thought he needed surgery on his knee, but he decided to play through it.

And also, that Rockets bunch was trying to clinch homecourt over Portland, so there was something on the line in those final games. This team has had the 3rd seed locked up once they beat Denver last week and had the 3rd best overall record secured after the win at Sactown.

 

Westbrook, Gibson, Roberson and Abrines are all resting tonight.
