ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Cavaliers 11/1/2016

Hope Harden doesn't get fatigued and his jumper goes away

 

Harden needs to trust his teammates and quit playing one on one.

It is ineffective against a good team.

I like the defense so far though.

Let's keep the hustle up in the second half!

 

I legit think we need a Center who can hit 3s playing next to Anderson so he can get more open looks. Looks like every team is going to guard him the same way.

 

Solid first half given the sloppy joes that came off the bench. We have the champs on the ropes on the road.

 

we need Gordon and Anderson catch fire to win this game. harden can't do everytin by himself

 

Kyrie is too good, without LeBron holding him back he could lead the league in scoring.

 

22 pts, 8 assists, 4 boards but what I like the best: 0 turnovers.

Have a day Beard

 

Just getting out talented right now

We really need another star player.

 

Pretty good half. Hit a few more 3s we have the lead. Harden may have to play a little more this game, lets try to steal this one. Would be great for team confidence moving forward.

 

I thought the Rockets played pretty well. If Anderson was on or someone could rebound this might be a very different game. Maybe Capela not in foul trouble might make the difference.

 

I think he does...sometimes way too much tbh!

 

You are right but it's not even that - just having more guys that can create a shot at a decent efficiency would be a great upgrade

 

As long as Dekker keeps playing like this, gonna be hard for Harden not to give him the ball more. You can clearly see how Harden doesn't have that trust in him yet but it will come.

 

Not a big fan of Harden, but Harden is one of few players in the league who can carry a team by themself

 

I think you meant to post this last year

 

Solid, just solid

We are playing against the champs. Threes aren't falling yet, but when they start, its lights out for our opponents.

Comparing how we play against last year, we are a much better team. You can see defensively we have improved. We are actually setting up plays...I like it

 

good 1st have lost our lead but manage to comeback. i just wish Anderson pops more 3's he been missing a lot

 

That's actually a compliment for the Rockets, Cleveland has Irving and Love is finally playing like an allstar.

*Anyway this game is going WAY better than what I expected, Rox are hitting blanks on 3s whereas Cleveland is hitting lights out from the 3 however the lead is just 4.

*Btw people here owe Sam Dekker an apology, so many posters were talking about how Dekker was a scrub last year and how "Maury wasted a pick again".

*Also didn't realize the Rox have 4 win game streak against the Cavs. How did that happen? LOL!

*Also apparently the real death lineup is Harden/KJ/Ariza/Dekker/Nene. Everybody can switch on everyone and you have four 3 point shooters on offense.

*Now we see why Bobby Brown is benched and Ennis is getting the PT, Brown can only light em up against scrubs but gets scored upon every play, Ennis passes to better players than him and at least can stay in front of his man.

 

Really? Why? Just curious.

 

Lmao these ****ing clowns on NBATV trying to clown on Harden for his defense. **** off Zeke. You couldn't run the Knicks franchise, no type of scouting talent.
