ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pistons 11/21/2016

gordon is such a great player for this team...he's exactly what we need

 

Bobby brown just here enjoying the experience

 

James Harden with the worst game of his career lmfao.

 

Harden's ability to get to the FT line is such a nice part of his game. Especially very useful in an off shooting game like this.

 

I'm glad we're winning despite the poor play, but should we be worried about Harden?

 

pistons defense on harden will fall off in the 2h and he'll get his numbers then. detroit's only chance was drummond but he's given up before ht. blow out win for the rockets.

 

I was thrilled with Harden's start to the year but these shitty games are becoming too common now. Not good. Turnovers are inexcusable tonight, all of them have been off bounce passes. ADAPT!

 

This end-of-the-shotclock Harden iso must end. Not a good possession most of the time.

 

Harden plays a horrible half and we still lead by 5. I'm liking our chances in the second.

 

I mean......no? LOL

 

I'll try that. I at least have the radio broadcast on the phone right now.

 

Dekker looking like Robert Horry

 

i'll take two bad harden games for every 10 jordanesque games we get from him...

 

Baynes looks like the type of guy that will walk up to you at the gym and tell you something like "bro leg extensions are so bad for you" or "dude you really should try deadlifting with no shoes on, so liberating"

 

I agree, the problem is Harden's 'bad' games aren't just a little off, they are horrendous. Truly awful. You may disagree and every player has a true stinker (like curry going 0-10 on threes against Lakers) but harden has a solid handful of these displays every season. He seems to have horribly low lows.

 

He will probably finish with over 20 points, 10 assists and 5 boards, and probably 8 turnovers as well. If that's your bad games, I will take them still also.

 

Harden will bounce back next half . They will look at the film and will figure out a way to get him rolling .

Very enthused by the defense and not letting the game get out of hand . We showed some grit and withstood some runs on the road .

Keep the foot on the gas and outwork these guys in the third and I think we will come away with a win .

Hopefully our shooting comes back into form too

 

Of all the ridiculous Harden criticism out there, this is actually a legitimate gripe. Harden needs to find ways to mitigate damage if he's having an off night. A lot of times, compounds mistakes with more mistakes.

 

Exactly bro! It seems when he is having a stinker he doesn't use his head, he just forces harder which makes things even worse. Couldn't have said it better

 

Should of left him in China.
