ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 3/16/2016

Just because we have talent doesnt mean they work toward our different matchups
If we play thunder we gotta use different bench guys than if we play clippers.
If the rockets simply didnt give up 70 points in 2nd half this game would be very winnable

 

ON PAPER the Rockets are more loaded than last year's team especially with Beverly and DMO healthy and JBB doesn't know WTF to do with this roster...incredible

 

The point he's trying to make is Harden hasn't had anyone to help alleviate the pressure and need from having the ball in his hands. The narrative that he won't do it is BS

 

Beasley in the starting role will get almost not offensive looks, he is looking good because is mostly coming from the bench with Harden out so they can run the offense thru him. All he will be relegated in the starting roll with JB and Harden is 3 pointers and maybe a a layup if he cut hard to the basket, the entire system with Harden is to play of him and shoot jumpers of cut hard and get layups, Harden is not giving up the ball.

 

Harden can move off the ball but you need a plan for that. We don't have the personnel unless ofcourse we get someone like Mike Conley. Go back and read before responding dude.

 

Dmo is not healthy. The team as a whole regressed. They aren't more loaded

 

Completely not BS. Harden the player today is not an off ball player. It's not going to happen. That's just who he's become as a player whether anyone likes it or not

 

This is a myth, Harden and Beasley has played together and Beasley gets his points. We just made a run with Harden and Beasley in the smae unit what game were you watching. Ideally you want your best players to play together. This weird idea that you guys have that Harden can't play with anyone else unless he has the ball is beyond stupid.

 

Just saw the score... wow we suck.

It sure would be amazing for this group to string more than 1-2 wins together... for crying out loud arghjfc.

 

Sure harden can and he is actually very effective, but he doesn't like it. He wants to dominate the ball and make everyone a roller and a spot shooter, he wants his assists even if that means turing the ball 7 or 8 times

 

Why doesn't the team get Howard more involved? You can see with Howard's body language that he isn't happy or motivated at all. Harden is such a turnover machine as well!

 

I guess it's a matter of opinion but this time last year DMO was 100% injuried, Beverly was injured. Goldilocks is a solid backup and we definitely didn't have a Beasley on the bench last year that could create their own shot...just my opinion at the least

 

Harden is an off the player if you have the players and coach to execute it. ISO Harden is a Mchale construct.

 

Lawson didnt work out... Can't give up trying to do what's best for the team.. Go get Conley and if that doesn't work out then get rid of Harden while you still can. But again, won't matter if we doing this Morey ball garbage... No PG aside from Curry is ideal in this offense to pair with the Harden we're seeing this year..

 

I never suggested that Harden couldn't do it......quite frankly, I don't think there are many things on a basketball court that he can't do if he puts his mind to it.

I simply said it was a needed move.

It's mind boggling to me that some people would react to something that is so obvious.

 

This.. repped

 

Funny ü think it's stupid when everything says otherwise. Interesting how ü always have to have people known to put up shots to mainly play without harden on the floor

 

ESPN said in the last 18 games, the Rockets only lead after the first quarter once, and that's the last game against the Memphis D league team.

And somehow the last 20 games, JB was still sticking with his 2 favorite PFs in the starting lineup.

 

I read your post.....it was irrational and poorly thought out.

But, I will attribute it to the drumming we just witnessed .

 

1st period is a Rockets curse
