ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 11/22/2017

But CP3 was the biggest loser in the offseason because we didn't get Melo.

 

Yeah, I've never seen a superstar so adaptable and ever evolving with his teammates and his game.

 

Maybe Ariza should be the full time PF perhaps with his age he is slowing down.

Good win for the good guys no Gordon no problem.

 

I still can't get over that brilliant behind the back feint by CP3. You see Capela drifting to the left after the pick as Chris Paul drives to the right. #27 can't recover after stumbling so he's forced to cover Capela and cut off an easy pass while Jovic has to switch over to CP3. CP3 fakes a behind the back pass instead of actually passing because he knows Jovic is fast and long enough to either deflect or worse, intercept the pass. This feint is executed to freeze Jovic in his tracks, which it succeeds at beautifully. Jovic stops cold for half a second at the motion, realizes it's a feint, and then recovers pretty fast actually, but that split second was all CP3 needed to create space and drain the fadeaway midrange. Absolutely stunning to see.

 

But we were told Harden wasnt willing to sacrafice lol or Paul could not mesh with Harden.

 

Horry II

 

That Harden give and goal for a baseline cut and slam was really nice. He whipped it to Nene and then just completely charges through #14 for the give back from Nene and slams it home. Great pass by Nene too there.

 

Lmao that poster that was like “Harden’s making our offense stagnant again..” and we were up like 35 at that point.

 

fwiw: looks like Feigen was quoting Coach Malone of the Nuggets.

 

Really? Then Coach Malone should have put it differently!

 

remember that poster on CF was freaking out because OKC is CLEARLY a better team than the Rockets after getting Melo

 

Rockets are now #1 in Point-Diff.

 

CP3 and Harden can't co-exist. Why would you want to combine two elite playmakers that can score on 60+TS% and are snipers from downtown? It's doomed to failure. /s

Lebron needs to pay attention. Does he see how freaking easy the game can be here? He's one of the only other elite playmakers in the league that can score on a higher efficiency than Harden and CP3, while also shooting 40+% from downtown. They would be the most unstoppable trio in league history.

 

This is a big year in terms of playoffs for him.

He's got the help now so it's put up or shut up time.

I think he'll show up big, this guy is on a mission this year.

 

I know Clutchfans hates on the lower bowl
I had to experience it and it was awesome

Don’t hate til you try it

 

Celts, Spurs, GSW, Detroit lost.
