ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Wizards 12/29/2017

Nene out, Paul back.

I hope they aren't rushing Paul back.

Time for Zhou Qi?

 

Nene is basically not playing even if he's on the court these days so, doesn't change much.

 

It finna go dine.

 

Actually, Nene is probably the third most involved offensive player on the court. He takes Capela's lobs to the basket (Black can't) and the occasional midrange jumper. Which was a problem last night... he is at high post, and Harden would chew up clock then pass to Nene (no one guards Nene out there) and now you are relying on Nene to be the passer with a clock running out.

 

Nene can't play back to back lol some depth that is

 

Nene has been horrid the last 2 weeks....yesterday he passed on an open dunk with a pump to do a hook, that cost us 2 easy points itw as with 5 min left in the 4th. He is good because harden makes him look good, he isnt the same player as last year

 

My wife thought the Wizards were called the Lizards. After a good laugh, I corrected her. She said that Wizards isn't much better. Oh, and she got me a signed Olajuwon jersey for Channukah/Christmas. She's the best. Go Rockets!

 

I'm just saying, for me at least, Nene has been pretty bad so far, on both ends, i don't think we'll miss him much tbh. And just to be clear, i love Nene, i think he can be a big part of our success like he was last season, but i think so far he hasn't been even close to last season Nene, probably because of these little injuries he's having.

 

Time for the Rockets to get back to their winning ways. Last nights game was IT for me. You can't have the greatest first half of the season to only follow it up with a complete laps in every phase. I still see the team playing together, and running as one. I have to see it for 4 quarters.

 

:-/

I kindve don't want to watch.

Lol.

It's not because I don't believe they can win, or to not root for them.

Last night was just kindve back-breaking, heh.

 

chris paul need to break for 30 and 12 assist. Harden needs some help.

 

Harden with less pressure to create leads to a huge night.

47pts 11rebs 5ast with only 2 turnovers and 2 steals

Chris Paul with a triple double

12pts 10rebs 16ast and only 1 turnover and 3 steals

Rockets win 126 - 111

 

what repels me most from watching are hardens turnovers...they are really annoying... particularly those of bounce passes...i see them coming miles away... and they make me hate basketball
i guess what is most annoying is the repetition
he would commit the most stupid turnover and got scored on fastbreak then he would walked it up and try the exact same pass..its mind boggling

well i guess I have done my whining for the year...i dont believe in whining and i love Harden

 

Black and Ryno are the 5 rotation I'm assuming.

This is a win with Paul.

Willing to bet on it.

Then don't watch. No one's forcing you. Go do something else with your time.

you should work as professional advisor

 

Wonder who's going to get the first T?

 

Agreed... I remember that move... could have gone right to rim but spun for no reason (no shot blockers near). We need a 4/5 with length. He is not the same player but better than Black (not saying much) and the alternative is Anderson/PJ in the post.

 

have a feelin we gonna SMASH them...

 

I love Harden.... but i hate whenhe has those turnovers... they happen because he commits a soft middle school pass... usually they come after he passes up a open shot to driblle for a few seconds.... then he just stands and watches the player get an open layup! I hate that so much... i love his talen but man come on!

Couch would sit me down for that... even if you make a turnover and sont want to foul. You can scare the dude or hope for a rebound!

Vent over.
