ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 1/29/2020

Lol Harden is not declining ffs, what i have to read...one guy doesn't jump from being a 40 point per game player to this in two weeks because of a "minor" injury. He's obviously playing hurt (which is maybe also getting into his head) and should sit his ass. We aren't going to get a top seed anyway, the team is old...at least try to stay healty for when it'll matter, maybe we would've even won this game if Harden and Capela would've stayed out, it's not like they help the team just by being out there if they are trash.

 

So basically what you’re saying is Harden can’t play with another Star? Which means he’ll never win a title in the new Star Duo era. Smh

 

Obvious decline? The guy was averaging close to 40 points last month.... and had a shooting 15 game streak of 50% from the FG and 40% from the 3pt.

You guys will quickly say anything to warrant your claims he is the problem.

 

Last I checked he got that ring playing along side the late AND GREAT Mamba and P. Gasol. TA was dead weight.

TA hasn't done shiit since then. He is NOT the answer.

 

Thats the worst part. We can't even count on that. If anything we will trade Thabo or Tyson or both away and play musical chairs with 10 day deals. We will then have the usual fools praising the Rockets for ducking the tax because "we weren't going to do anything this year anyways". Flexibility.

I am worn out. So many years of expectations since 2015 only to be let down time and time again.

I at least knew the other teams were not going to do anything and I could live with the results, but man, not winning one championship with Harden is a total total bummer.

 

Had to even out that surprising utah win

 

he's done plenty as a role player

 

How can Bron, KD, Steph etc play with stars who need the ball but somehow Harden’s game is drastically effected when he has to share the ball? A lot of y’all got every excuse in the word. Lmaooo

 

Good for his soon to be 35 yr old ass.

 

let's not blame Harden blame the team defense that's our problem

 

dark days are ahead unfortunately. this isn't even the worse of it.

 

it is. isn't that close to the average age of the rockets btw

 

Another defeat against Carmelo's team! Defeats against Paul's team, defeats against Carmelo's team, these players just don't get tired of losing. After a great victory against Utah Harden returns and all his lack of heart and the result is as expected. A season to forget.

 

What was the deal with CC tonight?

 

You don’t win titles with 1 dude pounding the floor rocking into the ground! Every ****ing year we get eliminated doing the same **** and we still got the people on this board talking about OMG James can’t play with a other player who needs the ball! Lmaoooo

 

The blazers are a legit tough match up for us especially with ariza. We do not have the length required to bother dame and CJ on the perimeter. They can get into the paint at will or just pull from outside. then you have Whiteside who makes Clint useless. His presence on defense definitely affected us. James can't be sup par against this team.

 

Harden's historic 40 ppg streak had a lot to do with pure streaky 3 pt shooting that wasn't sustainable. Even during his stretch earlier in the season he wasn't the finisher at the rim with the same level of quickness and speed he had in 17-18.

 

God I still believe Harden playing hot garbage game after game.

No injuries makes Harden drop like this.

If he can’t move, I believe Rockets won’t play him!

 

I'm done talking about old ass ariza.

Don't forget to wash your #8 trailblazer jersey- don't want any weird stains on it

 

He literally did it twice in 18-19, dunking on two centers.

Again...im not relying on your eye test bro.

 

you shouldn't be. rockets are still trying to replace him.
