ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 12/1/2016

Outside of bad shooting he was pretty good with some huge key assists and played solid defense. What game were you watching?. He was not his usual great self but he was nowhere as bad as you're making it out to be.

 

Let's get greedy!! 4-1 road trip!!!

 

if you look at all the teams who got new Coaches, coaches that some thought would be better here in Houston:

Washington
Minny
Orlando
Sacto

None are doing as well as the Houston Rockets (right now)

 

Why can't our players pop off like this every game. 7 out of 9 players in double digits, and the ones who aren't, still has a positive +/-. Such a great game, gonna have a gud sleep now.

 

If you think about it, 15 rebounds 13 assists is a great performance even with 0 points, lol. 29-15-13 with bad shooting and many turnovers is exactly what Westbrook does every single night, and yet people are all drooling over him

 

whoever thought Scott Brooks was an upgrade is a potato

 

Let's play more KJ/Dekker/Harrel/Nene tomorrow and rest gordon/Ryan

 

Guys refresh my memory, it was Harrell that drew the foul that got curry ejected right? Growing to like the young players we have on team, Capela, Harrell, Dekker. I honestly hope GM isn't looking at these young players as trade pieces.

 

I was one of the few people that were telling people to calm down and that MDA had some bad breaks. I didn't say he'd be great but that he knew what he was doing. He's not some newbie on the job and he has the utmost respect from all the coaches in the NBA.

 

MDA definitely had some bad luck on teams. He had to deal with a team full of has beens on their way out and the man child diva that was Howard. On the Knicks, he had to deal with another diva in Melo.

 

Yep, it was him.

 

That honestly depends on who we get in return. If it's a star or superstar, you pull the trigger.

 

Yep, in fact the Knicks played a good stretch when Melo was off for an injury, when he came back he basically ****ed everything up. I think MDA also said this between the lines in some interview early in the season. And they were also playing pretty ok before they traded Gallinari, Chandler and i don't remember who for Melo.

 

Chemistry is UBER important. Superstar/star is great and all, but there's only one ball.

 

Exactly. People need to show a little more appreciation. What can Curry do when his shot isn't hitting? Not a damn thing!

 

You never pass on a superstar, ever. When Harden's game is not up to standard, a 2nd superstar can shoulder the load. If Gordon can show his injuries are a thing of a past, he can be that guy for us.

 

MDA gets love from me. Looks like he kept Capela out for being ineffective (in parts of 4th and both OTs) and replaced with Dekker and Harrell. Maybe kept out Bev b/c he was tired or wanted the length of Dek and Harrell. That's a gutsy move and great coaching.

Harden-played great. Didn't ISO much as the end, was looking for teammates and not trying to win by himself. He gets a triple double and people on here still dog him. It's a shame.

GS was flustered and is now whining about the refs. Nice.

 

I'm still salty bout Harden not getting MVP. Curry when he's off, can hide behind the stats of others. Harden when he's off gets all the blame. It's funny how Westbrook doesn't get sht on for playing so inefficient. Pay attention to the him in the game, no wonder Durant left. Granted Durant leaving to join a strong team doesn't look that great, but it's better than playing with Westbrook.

 

Hardens mere presence is impactful. He commands so much attention which opens up driving and passing lanes.

 

QFT.
