ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Hawks 11/5/2016 (HARDEN vs. HOWARD)

He's horrible.

 

Harden covers a lot of flaws but he can't cover every flaw every night

 

Come on guys!

 

Yawn. We're never gonna beat Atlanta. Ever. Quote me.

 

Yeah, i don't really like his attitude sometimes, i love him as a player but again, sometimes his attitude is just terrible, his body language does not reflect what he should be for this team.

 

Just sit Harden
Let him rest

Hell sit Gordon, too. Don't risk it.

 

Good idea to part ways with D12 because it just wasn't going to work...extremely solid player though but Morey why get a guy like nene who can't play a lick of D along with Ryan Anderson who is worse??

 

We played better against the Cavs then we are playing against the Hawks? Not every loss is because of them 'not caring' sometimes it's because the other team sipmly played better. I said it then about the Lakers, they are a solid young team. They went out and beat the Warriors last night, and we played them closer than the warriors did.

As for the Cavs they are undefeated and mowed through most opponents, except for us funnily enough.

 

Like I said a few games ago the offense might look different but the end game is still the same. It's harden do everything and when you sit we're in trouble.

Rockets are just a middling Playoff contender this year. That's all right as long as the games are more entertaining than last year.

 

Fouls called against Houston: 26

Fouls called against Atlanta: 13

Yeah right.

 

This team is far to dependent on being hot from 3. That's the downfall of this team.

 

Brewer and nene have both gotten too many minutes tonight . Clint and Ryan haven't seen enough time on the floor together . You take Anderson and James and Clint . KJ has been playing ok , so has Ariza . Why not play those 5 and see what becomes of it ?

 

Yeah ok...Bazemore hasn't hit anything the entire season! Korver has been 0-fer the last 2-3 games! Now everyone's shooting like they're Kevin ****ing Durant or something.

I'm done, I have my thesis to cram can't waste anymore time on this ****. And ANderson you were bragging about how you can't wait to be so wide open in the preseason. It doesn't matter how open you are if you can't hit the broad side of the barn. If you have a conscience you'll lock yourself in the gym and won't come out until you hit 20M 3's, 1 three for each dollar you've scammed the Rox out of this season smh.

 

We have to look for easy shots first before we jack up contested three. Hate that about our team

 

Oh yeah, not to mention he turned down the Rockets offer which handed to him by a group of Rockets legends.

This is what I called a slap to the face.

 

We got owned and embarrassed in this game.
Was SO hoping we could send a statement to Dwight and Atlanta.
I guess that statement is: We can make Bazemore look like a star

 

People expect way too much out of this team. Forget about winning anything in the foreseeable future with teams like the Cavs and the Warriors in this league. Rockets would be lucky to get 1 game in a playoff series against them. We don't even have hope of signing people through free agency because other teams like LA and NYC are better destinations for living as a millionaire. We won't ever draft well because we finish too high to draft a superstar and no team is going to be stupid like OKC again and give us a superstar. Say hello to perpetual mediocrity.

 

True, however many times in those cases the defender is still planting himself while the person catching the ball is becoming airborn. I can't stand that someone can still just be planting their feet while you're jumping. All that is is dangerous, and more a strategic bs way of defending as opposed to actually either standing or jumping straight with your hands up. It's cheap bball and an easy eye roll of a call.
