ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 2/2/2020

so one game against the mavs without doncic and keeping it competitive against arguably the worst team in the league today

 

And yet Rockets are leading.

MDA must now a little about coaching and matchups.

Neither Harty or Tyson would be much help on forcing turnovers, which is critical vs. young team.

Shooting is going to decide this game, not rebounds.

 

8/13 shooting total: 5/9 threes. 26 pts

Harden balling.

 

MDA likes the amount of 3's we are getting

But alot of our success thus far has come from the fact NO has turned it over like 15 times .

If this game continues to be tight do we see the patented shortening of the rotation in the 2nd half ? How will this effect our energy which is the key ? What happens if they continue to pound us on the glass , our transition O stalls out , and they start doubling james instead of letting him work on Hart ?

 

Still winning right???

 

Thank goodness for turnovers.

People pissed for second and third round "flame outs"
Must not remember praying for playoffs before Harden got here
And consistent first round exits before he got there.

Rocket River

 

I would like to play Hartenstein though...D :

 

Half-time. Something for the fellas.

 

I hope you don't think the Pelicans are arguably the worst team in the league today.

 

I refuse to believe MDA puts any thought whatsoever into coaching

 

We'll be fine. Just gotta work through it.

 

I have no idea why anyone would think that.

 

Dude this team is going to be a black hole once Harden leaves his prime. We have no first round picks. No assets to build a young core. Trading Harden in a year might be the only option to avoid a decade long black hole. Him and maybe Westbrook are the only assets that can net high draft picks.

 

The Rockets are winning because Harden is going nuclear and they are the more talented and experienced basketball team. That is rather obvious. Has nothing to do with MDA having some savvy gameplan lmao.

Literally the only reason the Pelicans are in the game is because they are dominating on the boards. MDA is playing right into their hand. Just moronic coaching.

 

We need Raphael Putney

 

literally a bottom feeder

 

Spoiler

Rockets need to sign Rishiki. He'll get an ass on somebody.

 

I wish someone on CFs would coach, would be playing a 3 man big lineup of Tyson-Haretenstein-Capela.

 

glad to see you're looking on the bright side

 

I am not even mad anymore. I appreciate MDA's trolling now.
