ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 3/2/2012

What amazes me about this game is that our 6'0 point guard got more rebounds than our 6'11 center. Dally had 0 off rebound while Lowry got 3. Heck, even Dragic got an offensive rebound. Bigs need to step it up against Clippers if we want a chance to win.

 

Now you see why Dally was still available to the Rox so late in the offseason.

 

could be worse we could have terrible no inside threat jordan hill still starting at center for us.

 

When I thought the Rockets couldn't play worse than the last game, they did just that this game. I'm starting to believe the winning record is a fluke, and they just went on a lucky run last month. If they keep this up, say goodbye to the playoffs.

 

Dayum,

DID YA HAVE TO GO THERE? :grin:

 

What is funny is that the Rockets are obviously missing Jordan Hill's rebounding and size but no one is willing on Clutchfans is really willing to admit it.

 

omgftwbbq why bench chase the last win against juck the fazz and thuggets we unleash him and and his 3 pointer capabilities .......

Now we are just benching him again smhhh
Kevin Mcfail here we go again sleepless nights you deserve

 

I will say that having him come in to play with Scola is much better than Dalembert, Patterson or Parsons next to him, but man I wish Hill would play with some emotion.

 

I'll admit it. J. Hill is useful.
I've said it before, keep Hill and trade 2Pat, that b*stard... You could give him the ball a foot from the basket and he'll take a jumper.

 

It's going to be the same story from here on out. We gain a little momentum with a 5 game win streak and then piss it away with a 3 or 4 game losing streak. Clippers got our ass next game unfortunately.

 

Martin again doing well @ home, what's up with that ?

Othen then his shooting, there was nothing good about this game.
These Rockets are worse than under Adelman when it comes to hustling, fighting and bodying up. This is the softest Rockets team we've ever had, only Lee cared enough to body up on a couple of plays.

We are going to lose big against the playoff teams on the road and come back down to earth, 9-10 seed, here we come!! What bothers me the most is the Rockets over the last few years have come out blasting after the break. Maybe it's the record that fooled the fans and the players, thinking we were all good.

This team clearly does not want to win and I don't blame fans for not showing up and people not watching games.

 

The problem here is the Rockets were 5 games under 0.500 at this point last year. You can go ahead and reminisce about the HOF coach all you want, but the fact is Mchale has gotten more-or-less the same rox to a much better record.

 

games like these keeps my money in my pocket and my tv off.

 

The team wants to win. These players are all hustlers except for Dally. The problem is they know they are on the trading block and they know a big move is imminent. Probably only 2 players (Lowry and Scola) can play as if it doesn't matter. But overall they are unsettled. When you combine that atmosphere with our lack of interior defense and offense, you have the recipe for an extreme deterioration going into the trade deadline.

I will be surprised if this team improves any at all over the next 2 weeks until the trade deadline has past. And the trade deadline will tell very clearly which direction this team is headed. Without a trade, this is a lottery team.

 

I wasn't able to watch the game, but the box score was interesting. The shooting percentages did not seem to account for the score. Denver had 14 more rebounds and 8 fewer turnovers resulting in 97 shot attempts.

That seems like a bunch.
