ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 4/22/2019 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

you play the warriors for what, adam silver sees the tv ratings down. you think he gonna let his precious warriors lose to the unwatchable james harden

this season while great for harden will be a waste. You arent letting harden win a title and even with his historic season he wont win mvp. The league is targeting him. I believe they left him off all nba because he had at the time more all nba selections than steph curry. And i bet they want him to not make an all-star team too, so curry can catch up to him appearances lol. And no way they let harden catch curry in total mvps

 

I'm not even worried. The Jazz are a completely different team away from home. Their crowd is what motivates them. Have you not heard how loud they get when the Jazz are on top?

And there's no way we miss that many shots again. As I said, we're a team where we'll have bad shooting quarter once in a while. We live and die by the 3.... which why I don't really rate MDA all that much as a coach.

 

I noticed once he sat is when we started struggling on offense and Mitchell got hot. Mike probaly should have instantly inserted him at the start of the fourth.

 

The Warriors won't guard Harden the same way.... simply because they can't. They don't have the defensive team the Jazz do. I honestly believe the Jazz are the best defensive team in the NBA.... especially at home. Nobody in that Warriors team has defended well this season.

 

The refs will let the warriors body check Harden, and Harden will be on his toes because everytime harden tries to play defense the same way the refs are instructed to call a foul

 

its hard to win 4 in a row in the playoffs, especially against the best defense in the league. Rockets will bounce back on Wednesday and put the game away. Crowder doesn't go 5/5 in the first quarter "I GUARANTEEEEE IT"

 

Because I watch the Rockets playoff game while you watch Game of Thrones you think I must live on this site? Oh yeah, you think real fans don't need to watch the games.

 

That's the only way the Warriors are going to win. If they win that way, it wouldn't surprise me. It's not a coincidence we're 3-1 up over them this season. We have their number..... and the Warriors know it.

The one where his shoe gave out / ankle rolled over...k

 

Clint's ass should be in the paint to start with. The Jazz had 52 points in the paint.....they regularly sliced all the way to the basket with success.We offer no resistance in the paint. Jimmy guarding Goober is flat stupid.

 

CP3 was 8-19 like Jimmy as well. ..2 of 8 from 3 pt., 5 of 6 from FT. So, they both had very similar games.

 

That’s cause he did

 

He has 113 points, 34 assists and 30 rebounds in 4 games. Yeah, clearly choking. Big 4th quarter in game 3 that won us the game.... good 3rd quarter today which gave us the lead. We only lost because Harden didn't start the 4th quarter.

 

Does anyone know why Faried didn't play?

 

It doesn't need to be one ref calling everything every time to have the fix in...

But I'm glad we were just utter trash in the trying department to close out the game, so we can't blame it on the refs.

We played some damn stupid basketball today.

For the life of me I'll never know why we seem to collapse on Rubio drives, not once, but as a f*cking game plan. LOL

 

The Utah side of this series really makes me envious of their home atmosphere. Harden's heel heat is so intense you think he was Vickie Guerrero. That wide shot of the crowd going ballistic when Mitchell hit those clutch threes was beautiful.

 

that's the b**** who always tries to get into a fight w/ harden so that his scrubass and an mvp can get ejected

 

@smoothie there were 2 of silver's fixers for this game -- the other one you alluded to was pat fraher
