ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 10/30/2015

Stop it..lol

 

Yeah, and make that a second round rookie playing his second NBA game. When Harrel enters the game, he brings with him energy, effort, and focus the entire time, something I can't claim for our other players. I thought Harrel was the only bright spot tonight.

Capela played his part but was just alright. There were too many balls he got his hands on but wasn't able to pull down. He needs to be a little more assertive and I think our future is bright with those two in the front court. Only if Dekker can develop like Parsons did.....

IF YOU ARE WEAK OF HEART PLEASE AVERT YOUR EYES. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

James Harden stats
2015-2016 Season Stats
G 2
MIN/G 36.50
FG% 25.6%
FT% 88.2%
3PT% 13.6%
REB 6.5
AST 5.5
TO 4.5
STL 1.5
BLK 1.5
PTS 19.00

This is not even taking into account his "defense" which would make career journeymen bench warmers look like future HOFer's

 

Lol Dwight if you say sell out to the system and stop demanding the ball in the post every time down the court.

Keep barading your star player instead of showing support when he struggles. Great fans. Don't jump on his nuts when he comes around though. No room for "fans" like you

 

Better coaching. Much better.

 

dwight is a square peg trying to fit in a round hole.

he doesn't fit with what the rockets are trying to do at all and it's been obvious since he came here.

 

No he is a perfect fit. The problem is his lack of self awareness in regards to his strengths and weaknesses.

If we were to run a motion offense with him setting screens and rolling every possession he would be a monster.

 

Courtesy of JR:

That seems to be a pretty simple explanation, and it matches what we're seeing: There's no surprise here. We're playing just as bad as we did before the season started.

This is a bigger issue. One bad loss should shake you out of your complacency. Keep losing this way, and you start to look like a team that just doesn't care.

Exactly. 2 or 3 losses can be the difference between the 2 seed and 6 seed. If we go 5 or 6 games in the hole to start the season, we'll be fighting just to get into the playoffs.

 

I would show support if he was atleast hustling, getting his team-mates involved, playing some semblance of defense, or atleast just showing some fire while his team is getting their asses handed in a second straight game. You have to be a complete maroon to recognize that his heart isn't in the game. Giving up EASY fast break dunks/layups while he aimlessly watches his defender blow by is not an excuse, atleast foul him and make him earn it at the line. His offense will pick up but his defense looks to have regressed to 11'-13' Harden. You can call me a fake fan IDGAF, but he doesn't look like he's interested out there, you'd be lying your yourself if you say otherwise.

 

Nobody came to play tonight with the exception of one player. Pathetic.

 

I'm sure we'll eventually bounce back but damn this is frustrating to watch.

 

I think this is and has always been correct.

In his Orlando days he played his role as a elite garbage man.

Ever since guys whined about his lack of post game he started to become something he can't be.

If you look at Harrell right now vs Jones, you see the perfect example of this.

One guy realizes his job is to hustle, get put backs, rebounds, and hustle.

The other guy tries to play like a SF...

 

Look on the bright side. At least our point differential is one of the tops in the NBA.

 

that's why he doesn't fit.

 

Interesting: But you can talk down any other player not named Harden. Wow what a hypocrite

Since you're a real fan, you shouldn't talk any Rockets player down period.

 

Lmao, gotta laugh. What scares me is that these losses don't hurt. Usually I'm much more angrier after two Rockets blowouts. I'm just not surprised and I wouldn't be surprised if we went on a long winning streak if we get beat by Miami.

 

Can't wait for the season to start!

 

Granted it's only 2 games into the season, but I'm seeing some very worrying signs that need to be addressed asap, and not 20 or so games into the season. Can't afford that in the West.

 

We don't need Khloe Kardasian showing up to the Rockets games.

It was better when Beyonce was showing up.

It's all mental for James and his mind is with a reality tv star with no talent.
