ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 1/20/2016

Classic mediocre Rockets, seen this time and time again this season.

 

I didnt get to watch much of tonight's game...but how in the world did they shoot 59 FTs IN Houston.

Im sure we intentionally fouled Drummond, but for 36 FTs? My goodness...

 

You are still missing the points here.

If those stats were by Thornton or Brewer, yes you can argue they had a great game.

That's not Harden's standard.

I don't give a fork if he is scoreless or going 1-10 shooting 10%, if the whole teams playing well under his lead, now that's a great game.

 

All of the Pistons starters almost dropped 20 points. I don't know what it is about the Rockets, but they know how to beat us. We really missed Dwight's defense (and Bevs I guess) on Reggie. He dropped 17 and 9 and was most of the Piston's offense. There corner shooters made their shots.

The fact is we had no one strong enough for Drummond down low without Dwight. We did the hack-Drummond last time, he went 4-18 and we still lost by double digits. The Pistons were ready for this game.

 

Huge games from Dwight & Harden respectively in our last 2, we still lose. Yet Morey continues to sit on his hands.

David Griffin flipped Waiters + picks into JR Smith, Shumpert & Mozgov which transformed them into legitimate title contenders. While Maury thinks no one will want to play a marginal team that gives up 140 to the Pistons at home. Best GM in the League tho.

 

Drummond missed many and it ruined their chemistry for some minutes.

but Stan is Stan, too good for Bickerstaff.

 

I miss Parsons.. I wish he stayed in Houston.

 

It's hard to know how things will pan out. Just because Wade degenerated doesn't mean Harden will. He may be one of those guys whose just freakishly robust.

 

Agree to disagree

 

59 FTs to 18 FTs

WHAT THE ****?!?!

 

Would you take Harden 10 pts, bad shooting percentage, 5 ast and a win over the Pistons

or 33/17/14 or whatever he had and a loss

I would prefer former and take the win. I know I do.

 

Dont understand how this team can be this bad at defense

Boston is TOP 2 in defense eff with no real Center

wtf

 

There is no ref conspiracy.

Rockets hacked and hacked and hacked and...still lost.

 

Morey is having a bad year.

- Horrible contract to Brewer.
- Useless signing /money spent on KJ
- wasted first round pick
- Trading a bunch of garbage away to get back a "top 10 PG" whose eventually playing like garbage also.

Somewhere Rick Smith must be popping a champagne now....

 

I give up. I'm tired of waiting on this team to turn the corner. Nobody out there seems to care so why should I?

I'll catch some games when I can, but I won't go out of my way to do so anymore this season.

 

I don't know what's wrong with this team anymore. Seems like everything is wrong and needs to be changed...

 

At this point Houston needs to tank. They ****ed up firing Mchale and promoting JB.

Sit Dwight and Harden and tank.

 

They care. Why can't you guys just admit the league has the Rockets figured out. They won't let Harden beat them and they will make someone else do it. Name one top 10 team you can do that to.

Without Dwight (and D-Mo), the Rockets have limited options. Lawson got his numbers, and Harden still managed to have a great game. The Rockets defense still needs work, but hats off to the Pistons for making shots tonight.

 

My sentiment is the same. Good luck Rockets but, thank God baseball is nearing.

 

Id guess he'll still be good as Dwight still is but at this rate his body will break down around that time with all that contact he takes coupled with the minutes. It's just natural.

Also just saying but the original response was directed towards the poster who starting complaining about Dwight being hurt when it hasn't even been much of a factor this year. Bc it will likely happen to harden around the same time
