ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 5/8/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 3)

Despite not being at his best, Bev could have been useful on defense, and his 3 point shooting would have been welcome.

D-Mo could have fit in well in the half court alongside Howard. We are missing both of them.

 

Bev could put a body on Chris all game long and make him tired

 

Oh ye of little faith. Why are you so afraid?

Calling you guys out for posterity.

I'd be pretty disappointed if that's not part of the game plan tonight, as well as forcing Paul to run around screens all night long on defense.

Not to advocate anything Barnes-dirty, but its only reasonable to expect the Rockets to exploit their opponent's weaknesses, whatever that may be.

Get 'er done, coach!

 

Weird first two games. Probably another weird one tonight with Rockets winning in blowout.

 

Ugh, this is where I really miss Bev. He'd hound a hobbled Paul all game long, diving for loose balls, etc.

Hopefully whoever guards Blake can do a half way decent job so Ariza can focus on Paul. Same with Brew.

 

hope we have a game plan to guard the pick and roll, we will see blake more active now and they can always dump top DJ also for the lob also.

 

Anyone else think CP3 will be hobbled and rusty, ruin the Clippers rhythm, and Rockets win in a blowout?

 

I'm sick and tired of hearing about the free throw issue. THEY HACKED US ON PURPOSE.

You put us in the penalty early, we're going to get free throws. Don't have the hack a Howard/Smith strategy then complain about how many free throws the Rockets shoot.

 

put pressure on Paul to see what he can do, then get Jordan in foul trouble (all dwight has to do is pump fake once after Jordan gets first foul, he goes for it every time.) They are going to change up what Griffin does, let him do whatever in the first half and tire himself out, then adjust at half time.

 

No free throws tonight after ESPN has made it a point to talk about the free throw disparity in every one of their shows since game 2. They were intentionally fouling us you numb skulls.

Rockets play better on ESPN so that's good.

 

Don't you know these guys like rooting against their favorite team and trash talk them because it's more of a delightful surprise and when the Rockets win?

 

Paging VsTexas, come out from under the bed, it is just sports after all. Lol.

 

I think Harden has a big game. 37 points 10 ast.

Rockets 121
Clippers 117

50k holy ****

 

Criticize the officials = $25K
Criticize Harden's mom = $50 K

Harden's mom > Refs

Get his mom out there more often!

 

Where da MVP Curry? Curry has arguably a better team, shouldn't his assist numbers be higher accordingly (it's only an assist if it goes in). Plus, outside of Wall, Curry is the only real PG on that list. Ugh....

Anyways, good pic.
