ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 12/19/2019

My post was an inside joke.

 

I'd like to see a still shot of that. On one angle it looked like he hit him on the other angle it looked like he didn't.

Regardless he got kicked out because he was mad that the ref screamed at him. At least that's why the commentators said. From the replay it didn't seem the ref screamed at him.

 

Beverley*

 

I've noticed that the Rockets have gotten good at keeping their composure through bad calls--maybe because they're on the receiving end so much. While they do show frustration sometimes, they rarely pick up stupid technical fouls (and no the Russ tech doesn't count because no way in hell it should've been at tech on him).

Contrast this to Lou Will and Patbev who went nuclear when the calls didn't go their way, or Doc who got his ass ejected the first game.

If the Rockets play with passion while staying under control like tonight, I'm sure this team can do GREAT things.

 

I was getting irked with the announcer tonight who had to comment how great Harden is even though he plays boring basketball every time he touched the ball.

 

I saw you back there bro, you made an amazing prediction hahaha.

 

Shaq was right to an extent early on. James did a great job of driving and kicking. MDA has also been pretty damn stubborn in the past. Hopefully this game will be a turning point in the regard.

 

Apparently it’s bc the ref was speaking to lou in some type of way. You rarely see lou act like that so who knows. But whatever rockets got the dub haha. Clips can worry about themselves

 

TNT crew is so ignorant. I can’t. I am going to bed.

 

He smells a potential HC job lol

 

Unbearable.

 

I had heard that . . . .

Rocket River

 

I loved the wave, F the NBA for the T.

Rockets need to play with that edge.

 

Teams been doubling harden ALL YEAR and harden has given up the ball and russ has destroyed the defense 4 vs 3.

How the **** do they think russ is scoring 23 ppg?

These dudes get paid millions for this basic analysis.

 

I’m surprised he got three free throws cuz he didn’t look like he was shooting, but Lou definately hit him in the hand. You can tell just by how the ball flew up in the air. If he hits the ball it goes down otherwise it just defied physics. He swings down and the ball flies up how is that even possible if he actually hit it?

To me it looked like he hit Westbrook’s fingers which took his hand off the ball and cause it to fly.

 

Harden crosses over guys, take step back threes, driving dunks "Boring basketball! Literally ruining the sport."
Doncic does the same thing "So much fun to watch this guy play, he's a gift to the game!"

 

that announcer is accustomed to biting women's backs so of course stepbacks are nothing particularly special for him

 

You can tell Shaq and chuck don’t watch the rockets play... they talk nonsense and put a bad name for us smh

 

No he didn’t. That’s not how you can tell if it’s a foul or not. Not even close

He wasn’t even hitting the ball down. He hit it up

 

Playing with an edge is great but you have to be smart. The history between those two is long. That was always going to be called.
