ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 11/8/2018

Right elbow injury.

 

Pathetic effort and how many times do you switch a smaller player unto Adams before you decide it's enough? Do any of our perimeter defenders actually defend? So many of their players got wide open threes, late contests by us or just easily blown by. I'll wait for next year, when Melo is gone and everybody gets their act right.

 

not really. . . we get aggressive and it is offensive fouls

Rocket River

 

Audition time for? new coach? new GM? it doesnt look okay to me...

 

This.

They always said BS like that.

 

I caught the highlights only and right from the get go harden got exposed and the lackadaisical effort was there. Capela getting taken to the rack on the daily with Ennis being a low iq defender and not stepping up. Only way we can win games is if cp3 and harden have career high games.

 

are you talking about GSW being blown out at home by 30 pts?

 

THIS^

 

I don’t like the way we are playi ng and we do need to make some moves. I’m still not worried about our team. Even if we get the 8 seed or 7. I’m sure we will make the playoffs, once we move the players that are hurting us instead of helping and if we can get at least 2 or 3 decent players in return or jimmy and another guy we will be good.

Players that need to go or be bench until they can be traded are

MCW (maybe waive if no one wants)
Chriss
Hartestein (bench or G.league)

Players that should be use to get something better in a trade
Knight (maybe wait until he can play to see if he fits or we can elevate his value)
Chriss (doesn’t fit)
Eric (trade is in his head Ryan 2.0)
Green (bench)
Nene ( is hurt but a good guy though)
Hartestein ( too many rookie mistakes)
Melo ( let’s wsit it out until we make some trades)
Capela ( over paid, didn’t improve any of the bad tendency he had, has regress)

MCW for sure have to go.
Eric chriss and knight could help us get a good player back.
Nene maybe just to have some room for another guy. Hartestein is just not ready.
Capela has been just a disappointment for real any athletic big could do what Capela is doing and much better because Harden make is so much easier.
If we can send Capela too to make some cap room for a better fit we should do it.


Keepers
Harden, Paul, Tucker, Clark and Ennis ( is okay for our 2nd unit not a starter)

Ariza will be back soon

 

well, congratulations then.

 

He's trying to downplay it, and yes he probably could still play better, but when you're even shooting worse on unguarded FT's, then it is significant .

 

Ariza back? How? No way for that.

The problem is that our offense sucks, and idk why...really, CP3 is completely trash, Melo trash, Gerald Green trash. IDK if after 2 months we will be good, but seems to me the same 2015-16 season. There's no reason for a team that went 65-17 to play like this, no reason.

 

I just want to remind people that EGO didn’t play tonight. Not an excuse, but Green has been pretty awful so far, and needing him for heavy minutes really hurt the Rockets.

If Melo is just average, this game is also much more competitive. Dude has played well, off night, let’s get it Saturday.

My 1 major complaint is Hartenstein. I think the dude just straight up sucks. CP had the easiest lob ever and IH couldn’t get up 2” to dunk it, ended in a fast break for OKC. Really really really need to improve that spot.

 

I just want to remind you that Westbrook did not play tonight.

I like EG, but this is not the reason for our lost..."if melo scored a little bit more", "if EG played", "if Gerald" "if Hertenstein"...too many if. I am not mad with you, but this team sucks.

Did you see the game? Look at CP3...terrible. It seems like he does not want to shoot

 

Their worst player was Diallo with a -15 and he got subbed out.

 

Our players were drawn to the Aquaman.

 

The players were just following the game plan. To be honest I thought our defense was okay. Our guys just straight up sucked on the offensive end.

 

wait, are you trying to say you enjoyed last season much sooner and more thoroughly than everyone else, that you realized we were great, despite Ryan Anderson, much sooner.

I don't think so.

nice try though.

 

We are old undersized and unathletic
