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

Even so...Ibaka is on a contract year and is on a terrible team. This is certainly something that can be pulled off especially if Ibaka forces their hand.

 

1) Iggy
2) Gerald Green
3) Batum
4) Harisson Barnes
5) Justice Winslow
6) TJ Warren

Off the top of my head in no particular order. I mean the point is debatable, you might think those guys wouldn't be as good on this team as Ariza, I do.

Despite his average start, shooting 4's are a perfect compliment to Harden's game.

Let's agree to disagree.

 

We desperately need a rebounder who isn't a complete dud on offense!

We lost to the defending champs and had chances to win it. I'm not troubled by the loss, but I am concerned about our ability to rebound going forward. We showed we can play defense at times, but we gave up some critical rebounds.

 

I started watching in the 4th and Brewer missed a 3 and a FT, but his stat line looks good. 9 points on 4 of 7, 3 rebounds, 2 assists. Was he particularly bad outside of his +/- being the worst on the team of -17? You can put a lot of that on him playing when Harden sits.

 

would they take brewer and a hug?

 

Noel trade incoming

 

I dont recall that being a rule. You have a NBA rule book we dont know about?

 

I get the Brewer hate but why blame Morey? He signed him to that crap contract
after a very productive year were he was vital in getting he team to the wcf. Who Knew he would go all "foam face" on us.

 

Well seeing that they basically traded their farm for a guy on his contract year who knows. That was such a dumb trade for them.

If he tells them he's not resigning and gives them a list of teams to trade him to then we could get him for a deal centered around Dekker maybe.

 

Probably makes more sense to go after Ibaka in free agency if you want him

 

Play like this and we roll NY and the hawks.

 

Man, that opening night loss to the Lakers looks so bad. 3-1 looks so much better than 2-2

 

Injured yet again

 

Problem tonight is we missed D-Mo and Beverly. We matched up with Cleveland in every aspect except bench production. I love KJ, Dekker and Nene but we need D-Mo and Beverly in a big way to compete with the upper echelon teams.

Do any REAL INSIDERS have any news on D-MO??

 

I don't know what to say about how great Harden is. The issue seems to be the samething no freaking help.Having said that, this was a huge improvement on the 1st 3 games. This team has the potential to be very good

 

I don't see it happening. Ibaka is the only big on their team that can shoot 3's and they gave up Oladipo for him. Ibaka on this team is a great fit but I'm sure there's other teams that could offer them better pieces that can actually fit style-wise and salary-wise. The only players I can see them wanting are Ariza if he's paired with D-Mo and I'm not willing to give that up for Ibaka.

 

I didn't watch this game yet, but good Lord, what happened in the 4th quarter? Did they just decide to completely stop playing defense? Usually the 4th is where you either clamp down a bit on D or get a bit gassed.

 

shouldn't you be in the warriors forum? are you here to troll

 

No they didn't. The defense wasn't that bad. Cleveland hit very tough shots and had at one point had an 8-0 run just off fast break points because of TOs.

 

I think the Cavs played a bit calm in the first half tbh, but we basically lost the game startitng the fourth quarter with Harden on the bench and losing the ball three times in a row (basically)...
