Ariza, Dekker, Brewer, were not great tonite offensively Harrel was non existent Gordon was very sub par Well this seals it for me . . . We need another Big Someone good .. . NOT DMO Teams with a Tall C / PF combo are a problem Anderson is Anderson . . . Our PF Defense is weakest link Center Offense is ok Rocket River
So.... should be 124-117, but still a loss. And a horrible defensive showing. Bucks shot 60% for the game...i mean, wtf?
Sometimes when you play a team that is on a 5 game losing streak like the Bucks (That have talent) it makes them a bit harder to beat. Because for one night they are giving maximum effort and doing everything they can to win a game. No excuses, but they were unusually hot tonight and looked nothing like the team we played last week.
What about the ~50 points he gave us on the offensive end when everyone else was just passinng the ball for 24 seconds and but up a brick? Without Harden we lose by 40 points. Oh yeah and what about the steals and blocks and what about your best player giving the most effort on D in a team with Pat freakin Beverley?
Formula to beat Rockets. 1. Have a good front court 2. Lock down James Harden 3. Play lockdown perimeter defense
Because they wanted to play it was pretty obvious tonight they had the case of ...we will turn it on in the 2nd half. They gave up 68 points to them in the first half, and more than half on layups....so it was clear, they need to refocus. DD
We didn't lose the game because of Harden. That's just stupid. He hurt the cause significantly with turnovers, but he's practically a one man show.
Gordon clearly hammered on 3 pt attempt. No whistle instead we make desperation pass across court to try another 3. Picked off and goes the other way instead. DMA not happy with official Yelling something about the 'Horse Shed'. . . .or something like that
I know your being snide towards him here, but the reason they scored so many points is because the rockets threw the ball away repeatedly in the 4th
Yeah, what's alarming about it is that the Rockets have played 4 more games than most other teams have at this point, as well as more B2B games, more road games than any other team in basketball. The sloppy play at the end tonight is a clear sign the team is gassed.
