ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets @ 1/20/2017

4 losses in the last 6 games. maybe that becomes 5 tomorrow.

 

Dekker and Beverly need to control games. They are the ones that are good enough to take over if the main guys are having an off night when it comes to ball handling.

 

Not much going the rockets way tonight.
Dekker had a good game but missing Anderson simply on spacing alone.

Gordon's foot is clearly not okay.

Harrell hit a high a couple weeks ago, seems to be hitting a slump now at the worst time. At least Capela is back but he's also clearly working through some rust. No nene?

Onuaku and wiltjer just riding pine though. And McDaniels too, why not? Brewer back to brewering it up.

Looking forward to the trade deadline. Need some help, this team is almost there.

 

Sure, but you also have to take into account that two of our best three players are injured or playing with an injury, one of our starters just got back from an injury, the Rockets have had a crap load of B2B games this month while the Dubs have had a pretty light schedule and played crap loads of home games this month.

I still think we can beat those guys if we can get healthy, which is always a big "if" when it comes to Rockets basketball.

 

Doesn't bother Curry, it would however require Harden to move off the ball and cut.

You mean KJ McDaniels is dead?

Lost legs are becoming an issue again

Is the guy who keeps track of our legs on vacay?

 

Ho

Harden doesn't have the stamina and body type to run around all day. He's amazing at getting by a human while dribbling a ball but God is he horrible at losing his man off ball.

 

Harden: 0-5 3 pt 7 TO's
Gordon: 0-7 3pt 2-14 FG!
Anderson: DNP
Brewer: 19 mins!!!
= L

 

Does the flu- prevention shot effect performance in anyway? I'm just asking to see if anyone here knows.

 

What a pathetic display by the good guys.

 

We will terminate them

 

I don't buy that, he just doesn't do it.....not that he can't do it, he just doesn't.....I mean Curry is not fast but all those picks on the backside sure help....same could happen for Harden.

The Warriors are the smartest basketball team, for sure....the only one I can think that comes close was the Spurs a couple of years ago when they won the championship.....

The Rockets are good, but they aren't there yet.....they are HOWEVER a lot closer when everyone is healthy.

Overall Dekker is an amazing talent in his first real season. You could have thought? He's got the energy to go after loose balls.. Attack the rim.. make plays... And Beverly seems to have developed some sort of penetration game to the rim of late...

 

With Anderson hoovering outside of the arc and actually making his shots... Things were better. It's up to Green to catch up with Anderson if not Durant giving the Rox a chance at the rebound or penetrate to the rim.

 

This actually is the best point I have seen in a long time.

The time management in the early couple months is much better than now.

 

If this team will need to play KJ McDaniels for any meaningful minutes, that will be the death sentence of this season to the Rockets.

 

Do you purposely misspell Beverley's name? I see you do it all the time.

In fact, I just did a quick search. The BBS shows 72 posts by you misspelling his name.

You also have 33 posts misspelling Capela's name with two Ls. Thought I'd go ahead and run that one for you, too.

 

He might be on mobile. Spellcorrect will change Beverley to Beverly and Capela to Capella,

 

I might as well just knock myself out then browse my favorite message board on a phone or small tablet. I misspell because I just do.

I might be able to do it with a touch pen or something but even then... ..
