ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 5/6/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 2)

Charles: This ain't the team I saw in the first round.

Harden: He was in the MVP conversation five days ago, now he's not playing well. Howard is but no one else is doing anything.

 

This team is so far away from contending for a championship it's not even funny. It's amazing this team made it to the second round. I guess we did get lucky and played the one team we could beat in the West.

 

TJ can't gaurd anybody can't even score on turkyglue put in Dorsey.

 

I cringe every time I see Jones within 5 feet of the ball on offense or defense.

 

Maybe I shouldn't be but I'm surprised we're losing this game.

 

They're playing like they want this wayyyy more than we want it and everybody apparently forgot to shoot. *sigh but it's hard to remain positive when the reality of the situation is staring us down

 

Mike Connely has a broke face and was out for 10 days and came back and lead his team to win against a team with the best nba record... now that is a real superstar, not this faker.

 

Rockets don't have a key backup big in Motiejunas and starting pg in Beverly, those are big hits that they have to play through. Cut them some slack, adjustments will happen.

 

LOL Chuck is actually telling it like it is

 

The only one that gives a damn is Dwight.

 

Harden is too predictable, especially when driving in. He has no real inside moves...everything is straight line drive stretch his arms out trying to draw fouls. He can't twist and turn and get creative like Irving or Curry. When the defense snuffs this out and don't go for his fakes, and his streaky jumpshot isn't falling, he's next to useless, and a negative defensively. His offense goes and he's not motivated to hustle at all. Very dissappointed..I don't think he's taken the next step.

 

No PF and no PG. way to upgrade money!! Weaknesses getting exposed

 

Tjones looks scared and lost on the floor. Someone need to slap that fool up side his head.

 

He can't even lob to Dwight.

 

Rockets are trying...they're "playing harder" but their technique on offense and defense is poor.

 

Ariza: Nothing
Jones: Nothing
Smith: Nothing
Terry: Nothing
MCHALE:Nothing
smh

 

It won't happen. He "succeeded" by reaching semifinals (making step forward). I can't believe that some of the guys were saying that he should have been 3rd on COY voting. He should have been dead last! It's a shame that Harden and especially Howard are losing their chances to win a championship by playing for this dumb coach.

 

"I'm going to Pappadeaux"

 

Not what I expected in the first half. So we're down 9; not out of it yet.

Sometimes you win it your way. Sometimes you win ugly. Doesn't matter if it's by 100 or by 1; all that matters at this point is surviving this game with a win, and on this night it will probably the ugliest way possible this season.

They better put it all out there because for all intents and purposes this is the last game of the season. McHale better figure out something quick too because he apparently didn't learn anything from last year's series against Portland.

 

I donot like Chuck but he's spot on
