ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 12/18/2014

On the season, the team is shooting 42% as a whole and 34% from 3s. They need to shoot better collectively if they want to go far.

But the D continues to impressive as a whole. Going forward, defense will continue to be key.

AD is just a beast; he's on a historic pace. Can't stop him.

 

This team can use a break now, but there is tough stretch of games coming up and we need to stay focused. The good news is that Pap is back and Terry will be soon so our bench will get stronger.

 

Disappointed in this loss not because of the loss per-se, but we had a real chance to win in the forth an we let it slip...

Not sure what Joey Dorsey was thinking a few times... once you get the rebound big guy, pass it... if someone passes it to you... pass it...pass it pass it pass it or dunk

Dwights D on Davis really got AD going... very disappointed with that, not to mention his post up offense was way off tonight... pick n roll PLS!!!

Should have gone to Dmo more when AD and Harden was out of the game... missed opportunity their... Blame that one on coach...

 

because we were missing a superstar and another starter or 2 for 3 of those 4 games, along with multiple bench players?

 

THIS.

Something must be done.

It's frustrating as hell.

 

Please shut up

 

Ill box him and you on the same night.

 

That OT game was really late and that killed us tonight. We'll bounce back.

 

Can't win them all, especially a double header against a rested team.

 

I think he might actually be a minor.....might be wise to reset your expectations

 

Team was gassed. A schedule loss. Also a bad matchup for our twin towers. It seems like all the teams we struggle against LAC, MEM, OKC all have two big men that aren't slouches on either the offensive or defensive end. I hope we can correct this for the playoffs.

 

Like I told the last dude.... Take your ass to sleep and stfu talking to me idiot.

 

HCA is overrated. If it meant so much the #1 seed would usually always make it to the finals.

Championship teams HAVE to win playoff games on the road too.

1-8 in the west, not a single team you can look at and go "Oh, they are weak. A easy out." Not a single one. It would be nice to have HCA, not saying it wouldn't be...but yeah...what is way more important is to not go in tired a,d fatigued from the season.

Kinda wished McHale for that reason just try to let the bench win this one.

 

Ok pretty sure he's a kid.....his reading comprehension seems suspect

 

HCA is overrated for teams who have proven themselves (Spurs, OKC). It's not if you haven't. It's hard to win on the road in the playoffs, esp. a crucial game 5 or game 7.

Houston isn't getting out of the first round if it doesn't have home court. It needs to get home court at least for the first round.

 

Oh we got a mike tyson over here

 

going into tonight's game, Rockets had won EVERY single game they were favored in, but 1 (LAL, obv). And were the only team with that distinction. so we've been taking care of business when we should so far. not to mention the injuries. this is the least disappointed i've been of any of the 5 losses and not even close.

 

I forgot to say Puck the Felicans...it's my fault.

 

DWIGHT IS BREAKING DOWN.
