ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 1/21/2019

Shave the beard, clone the gathered DNA into another James Harden, create a bearded dynasty.

It's that simple.

I'm serious.

 

He always plays big when he arrives, but after a few weeks, he won't be able to hit the side of a barn...the 76ers are welcomed to him with my blessings!

 

On the bright side, Faried looked ok.

 

yo bro, are u being sarcastic? Harden was giving his teammates so many open shots, they were just bricking it. Please watch more games and pay attention to all dem open looks generated by Harden cause this post is pretty bad.

 

But how does that look ? You win basketball games by making the right plays. Harden isn't concerned with doing that. He's letting the scoring tear he's on get to his head.

 

Gordon has got to be mentally tougher than that he was stronger mind wise than he has been this season

 

only thing i didn't like about this game was when sixers players were getting in harden's face and taunting him and ****, nobody on the rockets did **** about it.

 

I don't think he should come back up .... because realistically they aren't gonna play him . Now that farried is on the roster (a "proven" NBA player ) he's gotta get 25 + mpg or until his legs die .

Farried was in no way ready to play for us tonight . He had no idea what to do . But he got time because he's a veteran .

Better to just play the rest of the season out in the g-league and focus on adding a jumper so he can play next season .

 

It was hard for us to score cause no one outside of Harden could do anything offensively. And that let them get more comforable with their double. Also Nene kept fouling Embid and looked slow. I just dont think he can play that many minutes at his age anymore as well.

 

Nene wasn't the answer, who's left? Chriss (garbage) and brand new undersized Faried. We don't even have competent bigs, kind forced between playing an ineffective smallball team or a shtty composition of bigs.

Trade needs to happen and I bet we gonna have to give up our first round pick once more.

 

Eh, if we keep losing, I think they might try something differnt, but we''ll see. Itd be awesome if he got a reliable 3 point shooter though, would add a new dimension to our offense.

 

What do you mean right plays? if Harden passes to a wide open shooter, that's the right play and it's the shooters fault for not making the shot.

 

Hey Mike, I'm 5'11 and offering my services to start at center. Willing to take a minimum contract.

 

I'm usually the one saying Harden needs to pass to the hot players more, but OMG, nobody was hot tonight. Harden was 12-23 when the rest of the team was like 12-41 at one point. Now that is just sad.

 

If you call Harden selfish, you clearly do not understand basketball, or watch the Rockets on a game to game basis.

Anonymous ESPN reporter, is that you?

 

Yeah I definitely didn’t agree with that, especially because he elected to go with Ennis. However, I understand the move was to space the floor more with the hopes of the ball starting to go in. It was just a perfect storm of bs that went against us with the poor shooting and the lopsided officiating, but we’ve been running small ball lineups effectively for the last couple years. It only looks like **** when the ball isn’t dropping. I think the game plan from the beginning was to let Embid get his and stop everyone else, but it back fired when we weren’t able to make shots.

 

He shouldn't have to get a 3 down tI justify being played though . I feel like that is mikes criteria for young player

 

Leave and go watch a different sport.

 

Like i said we need fariad n lopez. Oh n where that guy who said something bout clark again. Looks i was right. N yall was giving me a hard time. He just isnt ready right now. If he cant hit 3s he cant be out there
