ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/17/2019 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

I’ve got the Rockets in this game

 

Gotta take care of bidness, can't lose home court advantage.

Pootah gonna be so keyed on Jimmy, I predict CP3 to have a field day.

 

bruh that's one of the funniest things i've seen in a while.

coaching is underrated. someone on the coaching staff of Jazz should've seen that defensive scheme and called TO immediately to fix it. instead they watched it happen all damn game.

either that or Rubio is truly useless trash lol.

 

After more than 20 years following and rooting for the Rockets (and lurking here daily for most of this time, obviously), that’ll be the first time I’ll get to see them live! Playoffs against the Jazz? Just win, not much more I can ask! A championship by June will be nice too

But in all seriousness, what an unvelievable evening that will be!!!

 

Pootah, lol

Never heard that word before, but I know what you mean, brother.

 

this series is already over...it’s a wrap...it’s done

 

Can't go back to Utah with the series tied. Rockets need to come out ready to match the Jazz intensity. It will the 3rd quarter where the Rockets must come out focus to detail on both ends of the court to get this W.

 

The Jazz will make adjustments to defensive scheme and instead of playing the gimmicky defense all game, they will give James different looks throughout the game. Jazz have limitations on the offensive end but there shouldn’t be one for the second best defense on the other end. I want to see our offense against an elite defense in this round. Contain Mitchell similar to Game 1, and not let him go bezerk mode like last year. We are much more capable of containing perimeter players this year, which is exciting to see considering how good the defense was last year. Our team is still growing, which is fun to see.

With a win, we go up a game on the Warriors and 2 games on the Jazz.

 

EG, please continue to close Mitchell at the defensive end.

Pitchers should cherish easy 3

We'll be all right. # goRocketsgo#

 

stay humble stay hungry

 

For real.

Keep that hunger every f*cking game. This our year.

 

They gonna straight single cover Harden and he will go for 50 and another double digit win.

 

Rockets by 162 points.

 

2 days of no Rockets basketball, come on NBA. Seriously, I watch no other NBA playoff games. I'm going to watch more Game 1 highlights.

 

Go Rockets !!!

Will the Jazz pull off a "Clippers" style comeback? Will they tie up the series? No.

 

I just found out the Clippers pulled off a crazy comeback last night against the Worriers. Credit where it's due.....much respect for the Clippers for staying with it and putting a little worry in the Worriers' minds. That one stung I'm sure for the Worriers.

That said, the Rockets are all too familiar with blowing gigantic leads thinking the game is in the bag. Hope that doesn't happen tomorrow night.

Rockets will go up 2-0 tomorrow night.

 

That Clippers comeback was a great wakeup call for the Rockets to not take Game 2 lightly. I think they already knew not to do that after what happened last season, but now they'll be extra focused. Especially with the prospect of finishing their series with Utah before Golden State can wrap up theirs with LA. Who would've predicted that a few days ago?

 

Time for the pajama jammy jam.

 

Don't even dare repeat what happen last year. Come out focused and keep putting the clamps on this team. Just no reason we should get outscored by this team.
