ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 11/20/2015

Yo this is alot like the KNICKS TEAM FROM 2013. Harden=carmelo dwight=tyson rest of team is a bunch of vets. We just need to reboot our roster. We need to trade and restock our team. Maybe get ben simmons and start over

 

Man JB Says all tthe right things. I hope he turns out to be a good one. Of course we won't find out untill Les fires Morey and his **** bag system

 

What a difference a year makes.

 

And... I agree whoever mentioned earlier... if you watch this current team as a non-fan, it has gotta be ****ing hilarious!!!

 

Lawson needs about 15 shots tomorrow

I expect a take over, dude isnt playing any game

 

You're not crazy. The thing is... he's just not that good anymore. He has regressed even on the defensive end, not to mention his laughable offense. Marc Gasol basically schooled Dwight on 1-1 match up in today's game, and actually experienced more difficulty playing against Capela. Dwight is still a good rebounder but that's all he can bring to this team at this stage of his career. Just not good enough for a supposed 'Superstar', if you ask me.

 

If there was no Brewer crazy shot, we would be 6 loss in a row.

 

Bench is also pretty bad

 

You just described Lawson but I can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong with him. There were two games where he was aggressive and had over 10 assists and both were wins. Most of the time he just defers and doesn't attack.

This whole team is just screwed up right now. No one can shoot worth a lick, they've all forgotten how to play defense and Harden has played like crap.

 

No chemistry among this group of players (they don't deserve to be called a team) whatsoever. Last season, I noticed that there was no chemistry between Harden and Howard, and it appears that it has spread to everyone else. I don't know what the cause is, but I have no confidence that it will be remedied by the return of DMo or Beverley. I don't even think it could be remedied by a healthy Bob Sura circa 2004. This collection of players has hit a wall and for the sake of the team, they need to be broken up.

Let's accept that last year was a fluke and that this collection will never repeat that performance. The league has now studied Harden, and knows how to both defend him and more importantly exploit his defensive worthlessness (especially his inexplicable tendency to sag off his man). He will have his nights where he fills the stat sheet, but I can't see him dominating with the same regularity. Meanwhile, Howard is the most expensive part-time player in the league, and is giving us nothing offensively (I'm not just talking baskets either - his post passing is atrocious). He's an overpaid defensive specialist who fills the rebound column but makes very little impact toward winning. Together, they neither make each other better not their teammates. And as some of us have noticed, they don't appear to even respect each other. Add to this a questionable collection of role players (no elite shooters, no "power" forwards) and we have every reason to consider hitting reset.

 

Man... I gotta say this whole 3 point bull**** has finally caught up with us.. Lol, I hope it changes but it's not, and at this point they might as well just take every ****ing shot at the 3, Dwight too since he can't do **** (obviously not all his fault but **** it).

 

Schooled him?

Gasol 16 points on 14 shoots mostly jumpers, Howard 12 point on 5 shots and that's with him missing 4 FT

Sorry you fail.

 

The league hasn't figured out Harden because there's nothing to figure out. This isn't the NFL Harden's struggles have to do with himself. He's getting all the looks you want for whatever reason he just isn't hitting them. Really really really begging to question his mental state right now. His shot looks awful

 

^100. Nuke it from the GM down.

 

Still have faith in the team they will come back

Not giving up on them yet

 

typical boxscore junkie commenting without even watching the game. most of Gasol's missed shot attempts came when Capela was guarding him. Look at Dwight's advanced defensive stat for this season. it's not what you'd expect.

 

Harden is lost
Dwight's body doesn't work
Lawson is a no show
Ariza is here most of the time
Thronton and Brewer can't buy a shot
And Dmo and Bev are injured.. again.


This team is a mess. I don't see it getting better at all. I can't believe it's only been 13 games.

 

Lol what is this? League hasn't figured out anything. Harden is still getting to the line at will, breaking defenders off the dribble and hitting tough shots. His only problem right now is his inability to hit the 3 ball. Not sure what the League has figured out exactly? Garbage post.

 

The rockets will win the championship this year, all this rough patch is just going to make it that much sweeter.

 

Have the GSW game on in the background... It's so ****ing frustrating how far the Rockets have regressed... I think the Rockets losing to Portland with .9 propelled them last year to try harder and then after getting to the WCFs, and Harden getting paid the team basically reached its peak... It sure seems that way, the whole team is so far away and no chemistry at all. It's like they were good with that and are mailing it in, I guess they thought just getting Lawson would put them past the other contenders without working for it.
