ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/14/2015

Several teams are interested according to Calvin Watkins but we are holding onto him for some reason

 

Guess what Harden will be like next game?

Soften or Harden?

 

If the rockets hadn't been so bad overall I could excuse these nugget games. I remember Dallas that one year struggling with a golden state team that snuck into the playoffs.

But this team sucks right now. So many issues.

 

This team will NEVER have a winning record again this season.

If they do, I'll give 3 random people who quote this $5 Paypal.

 

We got raped in the paint. That can't happen. No weak side D, poor effort, no one to protect the basket. You can't win games against anyone in this league getting doubled up by points in the paint.

 

Murphy is basically saying the team is lost and clueless. Nobody cares.

 

I love it.

Bill calling out players (usually Harden)
Calvin telling it like it is.

Calvin:

The Rockets have a lot of talent. They cannot lose to the Nuggets. It's just that simple. If they didn't have the talent or were rebuilding, I could understand it. They have the best guard next to Curry(who is out of this world), Dwight should be the best center, D-Mo is back and has an excellent game. You don't waste these efforts. This team outscrapped the Rockets.

We as teammates would be at each other's throats. This cannot be acceptable. If this is the norm with this talent, it's not acceptable.

 

Well that is very misguided. The team was much more to blame than the refs tonight. Rocket show up and they win with ease. Sadly for the 3rd game in a row against the Nuggets, they didn't.

 

The fact that Harden and Howard who are star players don't elevate their play when the team is down in crunch time is really starting to get to me. I just don't think this team has it anymore. Things need to change and some of these guys need to leave.

 

That sucked

It was also basically a home game for the rockets. More rockets than nuggets fans at the game

My seat next to the player tunnel entrance was only $10

 

Rockets play so much better with Capela than with Dwight.

 

On a positive note, Dmo is quickly finding his groove. I hope JB starts him tomorrow against the Kings.

 

Good News : Sacramento does not have a night scene, Harden / Lawson and Jones will show up sober.

Bad News: Capela ate denver brownies and has "food poison" - Cousins will have a big game. Collison always hurts us.

 

Pretty sure Howard wants to say more but sometimes he's too nice. Felt like he wanted to kick lawsons butt for not spacing and being aware on the court.

 

quite a pickle...how do we get another point guard and another body that can rebound in the paint when Capela or Howard are on the bench sitting out games

 

Rebound battle: 52 vs. 26

GAME.

 

George Hill & Mahinmi? for Lawson & Jones ?

 

This team has a TOXICITY...which player or players are TOXIC to the chemistry? That's who they need to trade. It's a toxic problem more than anything else in my opinion..their eneergy falls flat every time in games. That's a sign of someone or someone's being Toxic after seeing this pattern show up for the first part of this season.

 

Hmmmmmmmm

 

Rockets looking as mediocre as ever.

Defense not improving at all, we are not winning a damn thing until our defense gets drastically better.

Lawson sucking again after having a couple of decent games.

Harden being lazy on backdoors. Jones playing scared. DMo nice game but needs help rebounding. Howard okay game but barely touched the ball. Beverley nice game.

We're just not a good team, we prove it time and time again.
