ROCKETS VS. CLIPPERS GAME THREAD

20-17 late in the first

So glad Houston isn't full of minorities like LA is

go rockets

Harden looks incredible so far

RAWKITS

great my computer is lagging

He makes me moist

Let's go H-town

Easy game easy life

Austin "im only in the nba cuz of my dad" Rivers

wow the Spurs had no fucking right to win that game

...

>37-34
>1st quarter

jeez

rockets still horrendous on transition D

they can't even make improvents to the team because his dad won't trade him away

Austin has been legit this year dude

shut down crawford

Splash Gordon

that nigga on the clippers look like draymond green lmao

I don't really see it

based capela

all these 3s

was that a travel?

lel header

why arent the clippies running a DJ paul PnR literally every play?

Doc gets a fine when they do it three plays straight. SIlver rules

ask doc

Harden's stutter looks like a seizure fucking clown

they just keep reaching

too strong

I always thought it was a meme that all the Rockets do was shoot 3s but this is real life..

get back to the locker room bev

they ramped it up a lot with dantoni this year, its their best option of maximizing the talent they have

>23 field goals taken
>11 three-pointers taken

not taken, i mean made

Why are there so many Flip nba fans?

like what the fuck is this?

its not that fun to watch but its effective for them

they wouldnt be nearly as good if they didnt play that way with the players they have, also i like that they are really pushing a certain playstyle/tactic to its extremes, too many teams run generic cookie cutter offenses

>he doesnt know everyone rooting for Rox itt are flips on a vpn
You a flip too

its actually very fun to watch if you're a Rockets fan.

>enjoys watching teams make a bunch of 2 pointers
>when theres a 3 point line

they follow their own league well so it translates to the nba

they're the sports equivalents of min-maxers in a video game. the midrange shot is inefficient, its better to choose between taking a close range 2 pointer with a high percentage or a long range 3 pointer with a low percentage. taking a mid range 2 with a medium percentage ends up being inefficient. D'Antoni created this meme offense a decade ago, then the Spurs and Warriors evolved and advanced it, and now he has finalized it into its true form

Why isn't Griffin EVER in the paint?

BARBECUE CHICKEN ERNEH

he doesn't like to bang down low

>Harden ragging on Ryan Anderson two possessions straight
Anderson taking his talents to Alamo City confirmed

capela get up

griffin trying to kil capela

Why dont they wear throatpads?

> Can't shoot
> Doesn't like to bang
LA has really gotten to Blake

he is, but unless hes posting up he just clogs the paint and with his jumper he can adequately space the floor

remember the alamo

LIL DIRTY

capela has been working on his free throws

Damn Bev
In the african's face

HARD3N

>The sewage outlet pipe of Arizona Bay

I
LOVE
MEME
CHUCKS

fuck this game and fuck steph curry

>"GO CLIPS GO"
>literally nothing in response
please move to seattle already

why doesn't clips4lyfe post here? is it because of his abnormally small penis size?

crap

Looks like the Anderson's got tickets to the game

>this pt difference
lel refs are saying sit Harden and Bev, put in Louwill. Bev gon get injured

>19 3s

they only need 5 more the rest of the game to set the record

why aren't more teams doing this?

too much respek for the game

have this rockets team solved basketball?

maybe

Fuck.

82 game regular season grind sure

Yes. They also solved the big 3 meme

checked

make your free throws

Only natural getting trips watching this game.

in all seriousness, they have kinda proven you dont need elite 3 point shooters like curry and thompson to succeed with this kind of system, you just need good shooters and generate a ton of 3s and take the open 3 literally every single time without hesitation

make it 11 games

B3333V

Doc Rivers in the time out
>YO WE NEED ENERGY WE CAN WIN LOL

when will Doc the GM fire Doc the coach?

Does he actually think he can win this game?

>run high horns for felton
>wont do it for paul

is doc unironically trying to tank or something?

Bev's ho gona get pregnant tonite

Griffin is shook

Bev x Louwill tbqh

>Beverley is still in
Does Dan Tony not have 3rd/4th pg? Empty your bench fucks sake, it's injury season

I think he traded the backup

...

Nice

not bad

PENTA CONFIRMS, BACK UP WAS IN FACT TRADED

its a 2 though

make a shot already

I hate how the Rockets get to a point where they stop raping. We should have 130 points right now, eventually winning 151-101.

I guess they just don't want to gas themselves

Doc rivers should be fired after this season, he does not utilize this team well at all

thats why you put your rookies in ? do same shit in hs/college lol.

You know the reason right? Once a guard reaches 50% shooting in three quarters, no one wants to fuck up their average. Deep down they know spamming threes is boring and uncompetitive as fuck. Also No D Anthony doesn't as complete a playbook as Kerr does, those pnrs and backdoor cuts that get easy wide open layups when memes aren't falling.

>mfw harden and d'antoni win eachother a ring

They should easily win mvp and coach of the year

It's easy to see this latest version of D'antoni wants one badly, up 20+ he still screaming on guys who make rotational mistakes. decent chance too
