I can't bare to read through this thread, I'm still in SHOCK!! But I guess I'm convinced that any game we don't shoot above 35% 3 pointers, we stand a GREAT chance to lose! Does anyone have any statistics on our 3 point shooting for every lose so far this year? (although I may not get to read it until tomorrow)
While we are on this sh't, MDA specifically mentioned a few days ago. 'The offense of this team in the last 5 minutes of the game is just pathetic.' Exactly the case this month. So do something you forking coach of the year!
Rockets did not respect Miami because of their record. They came out & thought Miami would play dead for them. Didn't happen, point blank. - Calvin Murphy
Game was in Miami. What did you guys expect? These guys go there once a year. of course they're going to make the most of South beach night life.
Ooof @malakas getting raked over the coals. I think her comments came from anger. We are all pretty pissed.
Where's the criticism of Gordon and Ariza?? Those guys were brutal tonight, and contributed to a bad loss more than Harden. Time to bounce back and move onto Milwaukee.
aside from not having photographic evidence, do you have any evidence at all that harden was out partying last night and didn't take care of his body?
Is anyone catching the NBA tv spot right here? About isiah Thomas and Chris Paul's thumbs? IT is right on, you gotta sacrifice your body, your personal life and be a little nuts to win a chip.
Good thing we left our young athletic center who is also our best rim protector on the bench the entire 2nd half.
doesn't take care of his body = going out to party before gamedays. I din't mean he does drugs or smokes or eats whatever.
Nene is just too old.... The Rockets need to upgrade in the paint.. Will probably take Nene to make a trade. Has Morey talked to the Blazers about Mason Plumlee yet?
McHale and Isaiah Thomas comments regarding Rockets (Harden) partying in South Beach was telling. We're now 1-7 in our last 8 trips to Miami. Harden has to be all-in all the time for us to get to where we want to be. James always gets his numbers but he needs to lead the other guys.
But you don't even know that he went out and partied. You're speculating that he did, then lashing out at those who don't 100% buy your speculation.
Last month we have so many blowouts and that's why our defense rating got inflated. That's a an overrated stats. Why do you think GSW is ranked so high in the league on defense also? Because when you have so many blowouts and play a lot of garbage time, it will help your defense a lots. Similar to the no. 1 Texans defense, totally overrated.
I like you - but you just confirmed what I said. There is no evidence. I fully admit he's done it before there's no reason denying that, but to speculate that that's what he did tonight is letting your emotion take control. McHale said - so what? I don't give a damn what McHale says, is he involved with the team anymore? Has he been inside the inner sanctum? Would he know that the culture may have changed under D'Antoni? I have zero respect for McHale, that dude was carried by the apparent drunkard for years and made to look so much better than what he was. Shithouse coach. Great guy, would happily have a beer with him, **** coach. Not sold on Mike either, offense looks stale. Yes, Harden needs to do a better job of running the offense but this team is garbage outside of three or four guys. When are people finally going to realise that Ariza is not the answer? My god he makes me furious. You cannot afford in this day and age to have a starting small forward who CANNOT dribble and CANNOT finish and CANNOT create something when the ball rolls to him. His glorious defense is also non existent. There are plenty of other issues right now and players you should be pointing the finger at, none of them are Harden.
Just amazed how some ppl can live in denial about Harden's habits. Hey homers! Harden is perfect. He does nothing wrong, goes to no strip clubs and is back home at 8 pm! He's also a virgin.
