1. Too much whining and complaining. The refs screwed us this game but you have to as a player leave it to the coach or talk to the ref in a calm way after to explain what happened. You cant lose focus in the middle of the game it forces you to do things your not supposed to 2.When harden drives and kicks it out to a shooter , that shooter has to drive and kick. The spurs are doing a great job closing the harden assist , but the hockey assist is always there but our shooters never make that extra pass. This is how you break their defense. 3.Hardens drive and kicks were murdered today. He has to get deeper into the paint before he decides to kick ,because the spurs d had this down to tee. They were getting deflections on them alot. 4.Cancel out Ariza as a playmaker. When he gets the shots of the offensive flow he is perfect, but the ball cant be in his hands hoping he can create of the dribble vs aldridge even though its a mismatch 5. Second unit playmaker should be gordon not beverly. He just needs to be more decisive, he was very hesitant today. 6. Defense was great tonight except for harden. He needs to do less ghosting out trying to steal and stick to green more. He has to pick the right moments when to do that ( when they have a mismatch down low)
Here is an observation, Hey Lou, Gordon and Ryno, how about earning you're money. Ryno and Lou are just stealing money from the Rockets right now.
First of all, fuuuck you. Second of all, fuuck the refs. Third, play physical and negate the flops Fourth, dictate tempo and push pace. Fifth, fuuck you.
1. Ryno has to stop hesitating and just shoot the f*cking ball 2. Lou has to hit some f*cking shots 3. Gordon has to hit some f*cking shots My Primary Solution - next Game - Mirror Gasol and Lamarcus with Capela and NeNe NeNe can muscle Either of them and Capela should be able to out quick either of them I think we need to harrass and push and wear them f*ckers down anderson ain't hitting sh*t any way so why bother . . .. HIS ASSIGNMENT is LEE Mirror .. . Gasol goes out and Lee comes in . . . Anderson come in Rocket River
The biggest observation is that Harden and Capela were 17/37 and the REST OF THE TEAM was 12/51. Many of the shots were fine we just can't have so many players wetting the bed. Bright lights too much or what? Ariza got hot early and convinced himself he had the hot hand while his shot fell off... sigh. Anderson still scared of the Toyota Centre and it has to be all in his head at this point. Look at his difference from games 1 and 2 until now. This home/road Ryno is now becoming a lot like the whole Dwight nails free throws away from cameras. He's got to bust out of this next game and convince himself he is still in a normal basketball court.
Spurs are defending the 3's and making sure their bigs stay by the rim because this is best against the Rocket offensive philosophy. Guys like Lou Williams and Eric Gordon can get a lot of pull up mid range jumpers with good looks if they want because the Spurs are guarding the rim or playing the pass when they drive. Rockets need to get Ryan Anderson and Nene in this series, Capela is the only putting up points.
The refs screwed this team a lot more in game 2. The Rockets lost tonight because they played really stupid basketball.
disappointed with pringles' post game presser. he should have stuck up for his players and taken the fine like fizdale
No call on kawhi reach on harden Tech on harden = 1 pt Phantom mills 3 foul = 3 pts Phantom mills mid range = 2 pts Tech on Bev for arguing phantom call = 1 That's 7 mother****ing points
How about a offensive foul on Beverly that prevented a easy layup and stop Houston and the crowd to get into the game.
Yes I just made a thread to compile. We got ****ing robbed and people are acting like we just deserved to lose.
Yeah that was the most egregious call IMO. It was clear from the very beginning that the refs had an agenda. Just look at the enthusiastic way the ref made that call too. They were sending a message.
