Somebody explain why Jones did so many iso in the 4th? I know it's garbage time but still JB has to yank him for that, no?
Detroit got a solid coach and a younger, slightly worse but athletic Dwight Howard (Drummond) They are up and coming
Most of the Spurs roster are said to have no personality. I'd take all those zero personality guys who know how to win everyday.
Blown out by 31 points. No Tim Duncan. Anyone get the license number of that bus that just ran over the Rockets?
People have a right to get on Harden tonight. But take a look at this: Ty Lawson 0/2, 2 assists and -14 in 28 minutes.
That doesn't justify getting destroyed by them at home. BTW, the Clippers just won yet another close game on the road against a quality opponent. So we can forget about home court in Round 1. Best case scenario is the 5th seed and that's probably a longshot with the brutal schedule we have the rest of the way.
Games like this are why we shouldn't shoot for a blockbuster trade before the deadline. There's no trade that gives us even a puncher's chance against GS/SA, better to hold on to our assets until free agency.
We got blown out by a team without their starting C (or no real C on the roster outside of some scrub who doesn't see the court against most NBA teams) with one of the best centers in this generation after they got blown out in miserable fashion. The Spurs know how to bounce back. The Rockets go on streaks.
You see, this is another issue with this team. The game is over entering the 4th so you have an entire quarter for the bench players to try and earn playing time, get into a groove, or just get more practice. Lawson had a golden opportunity to gain more confidence. What happens instead? We just see a bunch of dudes taking turns going 1-on-1 and jacking up threes. Lawson was invisible, looked like he didn't care about being there whatsoever. If I were JB, I would have called a timeout in the 4th and demanded the players play like they care.
Most of the roster. Stat padding probably. Hoping taht people will just look at the boxscore for his stats. Needs more showcasing?
blessing i did not watch this game judging from boxscore, all trash cept Haren. gonna get our cornerstone some help!
If the Rockets aren't going to try to tweak the roster to improve their playoff chances, then they need to think long and hard about rebuilding. You don't wanna hang onto Dwight only to see him walk this offseason.
