Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 8/11/2020

Michael Frazier should never see the court ever again. Pure trash

More Bruno/DMC/Luc, please. Fresh frontcourt legs so RoCo and PJ don't keep bricking 3s

 

Spoiler

Still on #TeamBecky for next Rockets HC
Gitrdun Tilman



or...

 

Well, that wasn't much fun to watch.

 

it's a 1pm game. most of the people on here didn't even watch. lucky for them lol

 

Please no more Carroll, more Luc!

 

I want them both.

No excuses later.

 

I wish Morey would have given JJ Redick his players option 4 years ago. I think he alone could have been the difference in several do or die series along the way. ​

 

Pop does love Beard.

 

We’ll have harden is a walking 40 points with 8 assists and a billion open looks. That’s hard to replace but boy that was a disgrace. Even without harden they should have played better

 

And his 3ball sucks too.

 

But they are not nearly as talented or as cohesive as GSW.

And GSW was ultra deep before Durant SnT.

 

Pacing themselves for the Pacers.

 

at least we know why we just gonna roll with 8 men rotation in the playoffs. our bench warmers suck arse

 

Well, it's not necessarily that we lost this one. It's more about the Rockets laying off the gas when the Spurs are depleted. Sure each time effectively had only one star playing,but in theory... we've got a better bench than SA does. Just disappointing.

 

Sad... should have won even without Harden. Sad Harden has had to carry the team since he got here.

 

Hopefully the Rockets remember how to play hard come playoff time!

 

Klay Thompson has the largest drop off of any "star" player in the playoffs though. His points per 75 go down, his TS go down, his turnovers go, and his overall offensive impact metrics go down as well. Harden needs a secondary creator on the team. If Harden is left making all the decisions and handling the rock he will get gassed. It doesnt matter if we have one amazing shooter on the roster if we dont have a secondary creator. You should be talking about Lilllard instead of Thompson.

 

Between that and Dragic's player option he sure has shot himself in the foot when it comes to quality players wanting their own flexibility.

 

I'm just as disappointed as anyone with ANY loss but it was clear from the beginning that the only people this game mattered to was the Spurs players. Rox had no energy, no effort on D, Russ played uninterested and sloppy, missed a ton of open 3s, whistles were not blowing... move on.

My only hope is that PJ and Rob get some shots to fall heading into this playoffs.

 

Rather have Klay.

Russ is still on this team.
