ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 1/18/2016

I know better than to get my hopes up, but gutty effort by the team. Good to see.

 

Is Throwing the ball out of bounds to literally no one taking the game serious? Is Not boxing out and letting Coke Aldridge punk you taking it serious? Is Shooting full court back wards shots in practice instead of working on your free throws or post game taking it serious? The problem is fans only see empty stats... Little things that go unnoticed make champions. This team has disrespected the game.

 

We play so much better with harden benched

Guys move off the ball, make plays for each other and really thrive in each other success

When Harden is in there, it's all Harden ISO and guys get frozen out. Harden plays zero D and it rubs off on the others

 

My god that is absurd lol

 

Harden ran through a screen! And made a cut freeing Thornton for a 3!

 

6pts!!!

Harden garbage defense makes me feel nervous.

 

that was a dope play btween thorn H&H

 

Jones must lead the league in negative +/-

 

He doesn't move which screws up everything we try to do on both sides if the ball

 

I heard there is a player available that can score 13 points in 35 seconds

 

Stupid ****ing JB team is doing well why u gotta mess it up

 

Terry in for TY, Ty needed a breather , he barely got any lift on that layup

 

Comeback started as soon as Thornton came in. Just like in 1st half. He's + 10 in 10 minutes. Jones is -20 in 20 minutes lol

 

They don't want Curry to be the best player today.

 

He was behind only a cpl philly players last time i looked

 

The Rockets MUST address James Harden on HOW he guards the pick and roll. It seems whenever the screener get in his way...he completely gives up on the jump shot.

 

Dwight Howard (HOU): 45th career game with 20 points and 20 rebounds, more than any other player in the last 30 seasons. Right behind Howard on that list are Hall-of-Famers Charles Barkley (37) and Hakeem Olajuwon (35).

 

Harden at point... Bring it up... Look for Thornton off double screen.. If not there look for Dwight.. If not there, you'll still have 10 seconds for your stupid Iso drive crap

 

Sometimes I wonder about JB.

the Lawson Thornton back court was working in the 2nd then he doesn't use it until the 4th.

Clippers were going small but uses 2 PFs instead of using Ariza.

PUTS HARDEN ON REDICK TO START THE GAME!!

Rockets should have dominated this game, especially with the game Dwight is having.

 

Correct. I've never seen a coach go away from what's working as much as JB. It's unreal. It seems as soon as a guy gets hot/a rhythm, JB pulls him. To hell with the rigid structured minute substitutions - go with the hot hand.
