today and everyday tells you one thing. Defense for Houston is what is lacking severely this entire year. Offensively it is this weird new half court offense the rockets love to play which we all know won't win them anything. I don't mind the offense tbh but I have to say the reason we started the come back in the third was that outside of defense Dwight and Capella were playing very well together. Dwight I agree Is not the post up option he was against the Blazers two seasons ago but still he has to be getting 8-10 fg a game especially against centers like that of withey's caliber. His offense Helps his entire game immense as that man has been posting double doubles the past few games like its nothing. I think Capella with a go to post move along with Dwight should really be utilized further.
Who else lurks the opposing team's forums after a game? Jazzfanz were pissed on that no call at the end. Haha.
This was evident when he received minutes early in the season. He didn't do anything to warrant being buried on the bench. It was a breath of fresh air seeing that one possession where he stayed with the guard on the perimeter and contested a bad shot - as opposed to Terrence 'go right by me to the rack why don't you' Jones. Not overly excited about Harrell because past history shows he will not benefit from his good play.
Raul Neto, Rodney Hood, Jeff Withey, Trey Lyles, Gordon Hayward. Utah's starting 5. I guess most of their names based on first letter. They're that random and unknown. And we were down 18 (?) at the half. Barely won. I mean come on, good thing I didn't watch. Why Montrezl played more minutes than 2 points, 1 rebound Terrence the mini Dwight?
Rockets play fake defense, especially Terrence Jones and Harden. By the way, that missed dunk was a foul but after the guy had lost control of the ball. Good no-call in my book.
No excuses, his passing is weak. Yes, his defense picked up in the 2nd half - if he played that way all game I doubt anyone would have a beef with him about defense. DD
time to put the keyboard down. you're drunk dada he frustrates you now - we get it. he's frustrating a lot of us. But let's end the hyperbole you are trying to weave to fit your narrative.
that was probably the saddest win in recent memory. barely beat a depleted team that looked terrible themselves and we just got lucky with the no-call at the end. horrible 4th Q execution yet again. our coaching staff has no business being employed in this league.
The only person I would consider an idiot is the one who hates their team so much but continues to watch them. If you honestly believe the team doesn't care then why do you keep coming back? Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to accuse others of being idiots.
I am pissed, but the narrative is correct, just not something folks want to deal with...I get it, not popular to see the cracks in your franchise player. DD
Any rational person sees there are glaring problems to Harden's game this year. Having said that...he's not an unmitigated disaster on every level like many are trying to insinuate.
that he's an inherently bad passer? No, that narrative is far from the truth. That's he's not as motivated as a true star, doesn't give full effort and goes for the hero play too much - true narrative. There is a difference. It's why your rhetoric gets old. You go to the extreme's to try and make a moderate point and no one knows what the hell you're talking about.
Apparently every point scored by Rodney Hood was because of James Harden, even though he wasn't on the court for all the points. It's the aura of bad defense that can affect other players I guess? It's amazing how much bull**** he's getting despite being a +2. Meanwhile, Ariza -14, Dwight -9 and NO ONE SAYS A THING
Was it just me or... Was Dwight taking shots at Harden during the post-game interview with Bullard? It seemed like he kept on steering his answer to turnovers and ball movement, which the Rockets lacked when Harden was handling the ball late in the 4th. It's good to get another W but...IMO, we did not deserve to win that game.
