ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 12/3/2018

I kind've just dont want to care anymore. This season's team is so uninspiring for the future it's like The Last Jedi of basketball.

 

After 5 days of resting (took off three games), the last 3 games Chris Paul is averaging 10 points and 10 assists.

40 mil per yr...and we get 10 points & 10 assists per game, lol. Complete b.s. We gotta get Harden and Capela some real help.

 

we’re really lucky that we haven’t fallen way behind in the playoff race...this team doesn’t look like they’re capable of going on some prolonged stretch of good play because either the offense or defense gives out, or injuries happen

win 4 in a row, then lose 3, then win 2, then lose 2...that’s the type of team we are...we look average at best

 

Yep. We’re ass.

 

Wolves are a good team...not upset. Paul had a bad game and guys will have to step up. Who ever the wolves face in the playoffs will be a tough out. When will Capela win a tip, is there anywhere to look to see this stat.

 

MDA has to figure out how to deal with traps, every time Harden gets trapped at the top of the key, the offense stalls and we are left scrambling.

 

The Rockets committing 20 turnovers as a team, which was 6 more than the Wolves was also a problem, as well as giving up 13 offensive rebounds while only grabbing 7. Wolves basically had an extra 12 chances at a shot attempt in comparison to the Rockets.

 

If he keeps up these performances, CP will wish he were Ryan anderson once the mob turns on him.

His contract is looking worse by the day.

 

Why is everyone mad at CP3 when it's the idiotic GM who decided that it was a good call to give a declining point guard $40 million a year?

 

We won the 1st half so we get .5 of a win.....but then we lost the 2nd so we back at .500

 

Not only he scored 5 points (2 points on technical shots), but his assist to turnover ratio 7-5, was freaking horrible too

 

Oh, I know the 2nd chance points was a big problem tonight. We've seen it time and time again this season we get dominated on the boards.

 

With multiple ball handlers, it's not a bad idea to not have him initiate.

Also a release guy that can be a playmaker as the pick setter helps, but the Rockets don't have that on the team, but if they did, then the Wolves would be forcing themselves to defend 3 vs 4 against that player attacking the defense.

 

If the Rockets DO make the playoffs, so what? They'll be out in 5 games.

 

oh ok cool

 

1. Where is Clark?
I came in late but did not see him
2. Where is Hartenstein?
I came in late but did not see him
3. House is looking good but
I did not see lot of him in the second half

I understand a 7 man rotation but
I think Clark and HArtenstein earned some burn

Rocket River

 

Embarrassing loss. This team is hopeless.

 

That overrated bum is too busy tweeting "witty" stuff and working on his stupid plays while everyone else is actually acquiring quality young players.

 

Life's been good since I stopped watching games. No reason to have my mood affected by this bum ass team.

 

James Harden isn’t the Rockets problem.... Chris Paul isn’t either, neither is Capela or Tucker or Gordon or Ennis.... the problem is the rest of the roster. The Rockets currently have 6 solid players on their entire roster... Harden and Paul are asked to do too much... they get exhausted and Paul is old, he will get hurt. The Rockets are going to continue losing games like this because there is no depth.

Until the GM and owner decide to actually address the depth issue, this Rockets team really isn’t worth your time. Paul will get hurt again and the Rockets will lose 80% of those games and there is a real shot Harden gets hurt and the Rockets will lose 90% of those games... until the Rockets add 3 genuine role players.... right now this is a 25-35 win team (25 if Harden or Paul miss a lot of time).
