OT OT: Rockets in free fall, Pistons on 4 game win streak since Josh Smith was waived

[Tunchi]

Josh Smith would've been our best bench player if we had any shot of signing him.

Morey is damn good. All his picks ups are rejects yet they excel under the rockets

 

[Superbeard]

You can thank the resident jinx. Hope you guys lose by 20+ on Sunday!

There has to be some magic to it. No one expected the Rockets to come back like that with Harden on the bench and having the flu and Josh Smith going insane.

Rockets in a free fall all the way to damn near the conference finals lol

I think i can get used to this falling thing.

Josh Smith would've been our best bench player if we had any shot of signing him.

He has his moments where he's terrible and does nothing right...but he has these moments too. I know two Dallas games he went insane like this, hitting every shot, getting huge blocks, making the right passes. It's like at any given moment he can be the best player on the floor for like 3-4 mins...outside of that though he's usually meh.

I don't think he is that great. Brewer and Smith were already known good players (not great) just in need of a new home. I think his basketball vision is lame, 3s, flops and free throws is video game basketball.

He's the 3-4 version of Jamal Crawford. Still, with his up and down play he'd be out best bench player. But I'm happy with CJ and Leonard now so whatever.

Yep pretty much. That's what makes him a great bench player though because you can sit him down and not rely on him when he gets hot like that.

I wanted Smith. I was pissed the Rockets got him for nothing.

I thought Smith was a great pickup.

I thought Rondo was a horrible pickup.

Both turned out to be right.

Oh please!....Nobody wanted Josh Smith here.

Really?

I really hope Houston doesn't get him. That would puss me off.

Yup. I would do it too.

Vet minimum. I don't care if he has sucked. If he would sign for the vet minimum I would do it.

hindsight being what it is, there definitely was a concern about his attitude, but it would have been worth a shot. not sure if we could have beat houstons situation/money for him though, i think they gave him a couple million.

 

[Spud147]

That was one of the best games I've seen in a while not involving the Blazers. Between Blake Griffin's spin around backward shot, to JR Smith's passing that ball off balance on his tippy toes falling out of bounds, to that crazy play where I think the Clippers got like 5 or 6 offensive rebounds and STILL never scored. That whole second half I just kept saying WOW... I cannot believe this!

I know Sly is probably going to have to put me on time out on the Blazer board for saying this but I hope the Rockets go home and stomp the Clippers. The way they fought back they deserve it!

 

[3RA1N1AC]

i hate them both equally, so i think i would still like to pretend memphis will beat everyone.

The deciding factor for me is the fans. I hate the Rocket fans. I don't think true Clipper fans exist. They're just Laker fans in hiding.

Worse, I'm going to tell you to post more.

They exist south of LA.

The surprising part to me is that Laker fans have not jumped on the bandwagon. They hate the Clipps having success. It is the only enjoyable part about the Clippers winning.

The Lakers still dominate sports talk radio in LA. . Only in the last few weeks are the Clippers being mentioned for more than a few minutes.

Really?

Lol u told him

They have very dedicated fans bro. Laker fans won't cheer them because they want Lakers to be the true team in LA. I've been to games before they were relevant and they would be close to capacity almost every game.

I think the Clippers would be smart to move back to the Honda Center. Playing in the L*ker Palace does hurt their fanbases perception.

So who doesn't believe in Jinxes now?

JINXSPEED should be banned for jinxing the Clippers from beating the Rockets. His jinx is so strong, even the Devil himself doesn't want him to come to his games.

 

[Superbeard]

I'm still pretty amazed at this. You never want your team to be down 3-1...but after last year and to come back it certainly feels like Clutchcity again. Especially with everyone doubting your team every round and every game and a poster on a Blazers forum claiming that they are in complete freefall...

Congrats!

But your team still sucks and Harden is still a flopper.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Yeah SB, happy you are happy, but fuck the rockets in their pee holes.

You should feel great knowing that your presence here unleashed the jinxmaster general in your favor. You can't prove it but your fellow fans owe you a great debt.

 

[ripcityboy]

Jeez. Josh Smith was on fire. God. They say our franchise is snake bit. But Clippers take the cake.

 

[BonesJones]

Rockets beat a bad for team in the Mavs then played a bad playoff and an overrated team in the Clippers. They'll get demolished by the Warriors.. I wouldn't be shocked to see a couple 130 point games by Golden State.. It's just funny seeing how tough the West was this year and seeing the Rockets in the WCF...

I like you, SB, so don't take this the wrong way... but that's not people doubting your team, that's people straight up disliking your team.

I'll cheer for fans like you to see success, though.

Sadly he would've been our best player in the playoffs, period.

 

[Draco]

Epic collapse. I haven't seen anything like this since our 4th quarter in game 7 of 2000 WCF. Clippers was even worse. Type of collapse that could hang over a franchise for a few seasons.

Man, I've been trying to bait him into another "Rockets will get swept." comment.

You guys are cool too, why I keep coming back...I mean I do come back to get Kingspeed going again.

It was pretty amazing to see. From my eyes it looks like CP3 was the only one out there that was about winning the big game. Blake Griffin COMPLETELY disappered, at one point forgot he was even playing. Deandre Jordan was laughing and smiling all over the place. I've never seen Dwight do that in a playoff loss, he does a lot of smiling and laughing but when we were down 3-1 a lot of people speculated that he was crying with how red his eyes were in the locker room interview.

Chris was the only one and I actually found myself feeling bad for him because it was clear that those other guys kind of froze up (especially Blake).

I'll be nice though, that term of being a choker is a temporary thing. the Hakeem Rockets were once known for being "Chokers" which is why Clutch City was termed so. It was named "Chokecity." at first.
What the Clippers need the most is another guy with heart...Like Wes for example. They also need Blake Griffin to to stop shrinking when his team needs him the most. Was pretty amazing and fortunate to see, I've not seen a big time player choke like that in a while. I completely forgot he was even in the game at points, he'd just pass it around and chuck up that ugly mid range shot.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Keep jinxspeed going and Dwight will have a 3 inch growth spurt that fixes his back and makes him jump higher, McHale will discover the fountain of youth and become player coach and fuck it if Harden doesn't shave that hideous beard.

They'll win the championship and Silver will institute a new NBA champ gets first overall draft pick rule.

ANNNNNNDDDDDDDD......your local tv stations will all run a Bones marathon at the same time....but your power will go out just before. That is luckier than having Warren Buffett make you his sole heir.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

They have the size up front to make things real interesting with the Warriors.
