Are we seen as a soft team?

You might want to throw in Tucker

People don’t mess with Tucker

 

I thought we were focused on the Warriors.

Now we circling games with fringe lottery teams

 

Should we sign this CUNextTuesday?

 

If he is reasonably healthy, yes.

 

The rockets are soft overall. Yes, we have Nene and PJ Tucker, but they do not swing the pendulum. We don't scare anyone. We get pushed around on the boards and don't intimidate anyone. This latest episode of going into Clipper's locker room is just embarrassing. 1) we loss, 2) we're not built to be tough - its not in our DNA. The league is laughing; they media will have a field day with this one.

 

we're definitely seen as a bunch of smaller ballers

 

Get some real injury targeting thugs on this team. League getting too soft. Little b****es like Blake suddenly getting bold.

 

If you opened up your front door and saw a seven foot tall Swiss dude, you would be intimidated too.

 

But our bigs don’t intimidate. He was alone. Unarmed (as far as reports know)

 

my sauces inform me he was also singing “Let It Go” a cappella

 

there was plenty of fight dude they just couldnt execute anything on offense. it's stagnant and flawed when all we do is chuck.

 

My sauces tell me that Ariza wanted to sing his line in the State Farm commercial

“Tell me why”

CP3 and the others were was just giving their support. Singing new lines from that Backstreet Boys song.
On their faces.

 

We soft till we storm your locker room.

 

I'm mainly talking about the defensive end, that's where real toughness takes place. I understand shots will not fall all the time and the team can look like a bunch of chuckers when the shots aren't falling but the Clips were looking mighty comfortable on the offensive side of the ball last night. They were wide open far too often, blowing by our defenders at times, etc. The effort on that side of the ball is soft and a disgrace too often. I thought a guy like Tucker would help in the area of toughness but it's hard when he's just not a good ball player overall at this point (too fat and slow to stop good perimeter players, too small to stop bigs on top of having no jump shot).

 

Right now we have couple of fake tough players and a soft coach. Unfortunately.

 

I hate to say it, but this is true. Of course, the NBA as a whole is much softer than it used to be, but we are certainly one of the softer teams among an increasingly less physical league. Nene and Tucker are tough players, but their roles aren't big enough and their voices aren't loud enough to change the identity of the team. This is where we miss Bev. We could use one of those players that everyone loves to hate until they are on your team.

 

When you have Ariza, Tucker and Green you can never be soft !!!!

 

Ryan Anderson is not physically strong and Capela is light.
