Gordon has lowered his value tonight, while butler has increased his value. Now we would have to include Tucker in the Butler deal if thats the case lol
God we look bad, but also CFs, can revel in their self loathing of their Rockets fandom, you guys are truly the worst when this team is losing...truly
This is the first game I've been able to watch properly this season. It looks like we're back the switch-everything-no-matter-what ideology that we had a couple of years ago that was a disaster then, and it's a disaster now. I did not count one possession where the Jazz forced us into switching a smaller player onto Gobert. Yet the Rockets did it every single time just because it was convenient for the defender. Not one of those occasions would the defense have been hindered by 'fighting' through the screen, because they were barely forceful screens at all. Lazy, lazy, lazy. Puts us out of position for rebounds, and forces mismatches right in the centre of the key time and time again which aren't necessary. That's just giving easy points. If this is what we're sticking with the entire season, then f*ck me.
People don't understand why we need the player like Patrick Beverly, Ariza or Luc M. They are intangible. Their good defense will control Mitch and don't let him score at will. We need trade soon.
Between some seriously suspect rebounding Some shitty bizarre turnovers Some ridiculously one sided reffing This was not a good game EGO - shooting has been **** Clint - He is getting a few numbers but some strange bizarre plays and shitty rebounding Happy Melo is Doing better D'Antoni needs to get his head out of his @ss and start Melo MCW needs to find alot of bench time I think I like Hartenstien more than him at this point Injuries - CP3 suspended Ennis - hurt and HArden only 7/8ths of the game Rocket River
The coaching is garbage the players are out of place and not even being played in an advantageous way to expose our competition... hell that's happening to us lol
Capela is a weak ass 6’9” player. This is not the 1 or 2 or 3rd time a smaller player takes the ball away from him on a rebound. He is usually in a bad position for rebounds. And he loves to switch when it’s not needed. After harden left he was covering Rudy then what does he do? He switches to ingles and tells Melo to cover Rudy even though Capela had him and didn’t need to switch. What happened next? Of course they go for an alley oop on Rudy. Seriously just trade Capela, the way he is playing after being a diva and demanding a bigger pay check he isn’t worth it. His defense is really bad and he isn’t rebounding that well either. He is missing a lot of easy shots inside and being even more weak than last year. I would be ok with trading him and Gordon for jimmy butler and an okay center. Even a mason Plumlee-like would be okay or a McGee.
Melo, Ennis & MCW have performed as advertised (badly). What's disappointing is the rest of the squad has looked out of sorts and lazy. I just get the feeling they came in with the attitude of "regular season will sort itself out...we only need to start trying come the playoffs."
Didn’t get to watch the game, saw the Harden injury (fingers crossed) and EGO bricks but did we play better defensively this game compared to the last few?
Nah man, Melo....i really really apppreicate him, I do, he's really trying. But this dude just got killed on multiple possessions by Mitchell. We cannot start him, if anything we have to play him less, him and MCW.
