ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 4/20/2019 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

Utah adjusted its game plan. Now the Rockets need to adjust back. Harden isn’t shooting well but he’s played alright. They’ll be fine

 

I can’t believe that the game is already over.

Smh series over.

Trade harden.

Am I doing this right?

 

maybe, but most if the shots he takes aren't really there. only 16 of his 388 3's have been uncontested. we live and die with James. he's our offense hot or cold. he can't remove himself when he's not shooting well.

lets agree that he should drive more when the 3 isn't falling. Gobert will get 7 blocks tonight but if you keep driving into those blocks he'll get 4-5 fouls in there too. just keep getting to the line and shooting FT's until the 3's start falling.

 

Biggest positive is how well the bench is playing. In a long protracted series we need a way to spread the minutes more. We don’t want to see the Rox gas again in a game 7

 

Jazz are throwing me off with these red and yellow shirts in the audience lol.

 

Dada is not fickle with his signature.

 

Way too much crying going on.. We’re only down by 5...

 

okc fans stand by westbrick no matter how shitty he plays. Or how he treats the media

we dont deserve harden if you are gonna turn on him after 1 bad half of basketball

 

Being swept by the Warriors is still on the cards

 

fify

 

You guys are acting just like the media haters on Harden. He is being taken out of the game by the refs and fouling defense of the Jazz. Yes, he’s been lackadaisical on his passes but he hasn’t been that bad elsewhere besides not shooting well. He takes tough shots that usually aren’t high percentage shots, and like today when they don’t go in....it’s just rough. Jazz are trying to do everything to get fouls on him...even flopping on his 3rd foul.

 

Last Reference

Time to get ready for the Second Half
COME ON TRUE ROCKET FANS

Funny thing .. . those people b****ing and moaning are the same people
that b**** and moan about the lower bowl seats being empty .
YOU ARE THOSE FOLX . . the ones that leave at half time

Rocket River

 

People who score 36 ppg don't go 0-10 for a half.
This is a horrible game and something that guys like Curry or Durant never do.

Hakeem never had games THIS bad in the playoffs.

Harden's emotions are like a snowball down a snowy hill when he gets frustrated.

 

There's criticizing and there's dumping. If you aren't dumping then nobody is referring to your posts.

 

Fans affecting the refs calls. No human being can be truly impartial and emotions always factor in.

Hearing a stadium full of ppl chanting “ref you suck” is definitely gonna make you subconsciously start favoring the crowd.

 

I'm fine....I just want harden to reset....dont force. Let the game come. He not gonna score 25 tonight. That's fine cause I dont think he have to. They overloading to stop him. He just need to be content with passing playing d. To me just winning this would show me alot. U cant always score 25 30. Just get the win james

 

I thought the reds are the few Houston fans who came travelling, no? Ok, I guess not.

 

Switching to the local broadcast. Somewhat-stitious.

 

Because rockets fans should know more than anyone that this is a fluke .

He's had balls roll out of the rim . Stepbacks he normally makes aren't falling yet . Yes gobert has blocked a few shots , but harden hasn't been "lost"

He's made some bad decisions , but mostly good decisions .... the shots just haven't fallen . Sometimes it happens .

If harden wasn't giving effort on D or had 10 turnovers I wouldn't blame people for calling him out .

But , our team unit has stayed strong (and that INCLUDES James )

Let's see what the second half brings .

If harden makes a cpupe of his threes and that one layup that bounced out then no one would be saying ****
