ClutchFans Game Thread: Sixers @ Rockets 11/14/2014

Honestly, I think the rockets could win even if I played 30+ minutes... I'm 6'3 and somewhat athletic.... We got dis.

 

I'm not sure the Sixers win 10 games this year. I hope we don't overlook them and give them one of those wins.

 

Philly lost by 53 to Dallas last night this isn't a "trap game"

 

It is if the Rockets forget to mentally show up at the arena. The Sixers played them pretty close in Philly last week.

 

So what ? At home, sixers are playing well for three quarters and then collapse. They did the same against us. They will get demolished. I hope TJ and Bev are okay and play limited minutes.

 

Trap game, Wroten will drop 100 on Harden.

 

Of course the Rockets will win. They'd have to try to lose this one. But Philly could at least make it interesting if they don't come out and execute. And with a B2B approaching in OKC and Memphis, it's imperative that they put them away early so the key guys can rest in the 4th. It would be nice to be up 20+ heading into the final quarter, so the 3rd stringers can come in and then let the Sixers lose by only 10.

 

Time for us to beat a team the way the Mavs did, some of our guys are just too close at the end imo. We are playing great, but can do even better, let's show it tonight!!

 

I remember a lot of posters freaking out last year when we were playing them with a chance for the Sixers to tie the all-time losing streak. I had absolutely no concern then and I have none now. There's no way they will come in and beat the Rockets tonight. Absolutely no way. Now, I do not think the Rockets will win by 50, but a 20 point win is to be expected.

 

Bev/tjones update?

 

Anybody know the +/- in Vegas?

 

In aus it's -17.

Note in every rockets win so far I have taken us at the line and won every time

 

-17 in Vegas. No one else has a double digit line tonight. The closest is -8 with the Spurs visiting the Lakers tonight.

 

If your betting on Rockets tonight. I suggest betting on Quarters. Rocekts will probably be favored between 4-5 points each Quarter. I suggest taking the rockets quarters 1-3 with the hope that they hit two of the 3.

 

You underestimate NBA conditioning.

 

If we're not 8-1 after tonight, I'll swear off Philly cheesesteaks, and I love a good Philly cheesesteak.

 

Wow, so just because somebody claims something it makes it their's? Chopped steak with cheese in bread has been done way before it was called Philly steak & cheese. Way long before.

 

That was definitely the point of his post.

 

Philly has a history of embarrassing the Rockets. That worries me. In the NBA the talent is not that far off. You have to bring it every game. We should win, but no guarantees. You actually have to put the ball through the hoop more times than the other guys. I am a little worried about this one. They certainly didn't "leave it all on the court" in Dallas last night.

 

How we play against the crappy teams is more telling than how we play the tough teams.

Last year we played down to our competition. This year I'm hoping we continue to take care of business.
