ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 12/11/2018

Tucker has been looking pretty bad out there even on defense. Hope EG gets traded for someone who wants to be on the team

 

It seems like people hate Harden from this board.

Yeah, he makes mistakes and shoots dumb shots at times. But he more than makes up for it in most of his games.

 

Exactly.. This sh-t is not fair. Harden has to dawn his hall of fame jacket every night for the Rockets to even compete. Harden can't afford to be dumb.

 

We don't. stop it..

 

The sad reality is, we're actually not this season. You cant objectively look at this team's performance this season & say that. They've been one the most inefficient teams on offense in the league so far & their defense has been mediocre also. Good win here though, let's see if they can get their **** together but they've got to prove it.

 

Dont want him traded, just play smarter.

 

Based on this thread, Harden makes the team worse, no? Doesn't sound like a rebuild if you're getting rid of a player hurting the team.

Or did I misread the musings of all these posters? I don't think so.

 

For all this CP is washed talk....does a washed dude, get a triple double. Im just sayin there is something wrong wiht his jumper and it is the elbow tendinitis, that does not just go away.

 

The team just had to make us sweat a little at the end of the game, huh?

I don't mind the Blazers, but they play really, REALLY floppily. It annoys me when Nurkic throws his arms up every time like he's been hit by a giant butt-blast. Lillard is an underrated flopper too, but people say the same about the Rockets so who am I to complain.

So this is what a normal bench feels like?? I could get used to this. Green, House, and NeNE™ led the subs (and the team) to victory.

Good on CP3 for the triple double, and good on him for forcibly pulling the team out of ISO-death mode. Unless one of our stars is hot, it's not always the best option--even if it does burn a lot of clock.

 

You can probably count on one finger the number of times our bench outscored their bench this season.

 

The player's +/- was very telling this evening.

 

Did you forget Harden scored 15 in the 3rd quarter?

 

Just an aside, but Melton is looking pretty good (for a rookie) in his NBA minutes with all the Suns injuries

 

Stop saying dumb stuff.

 

This team certainly has soo many other issues, but the standard for harden is higher and deservedly so. And he has been part of the problem. We would be nowhere without him, acknowledged and agreed, but he’s really frustrating to watch sometimes and for good reason

 

This team has no sign of being a good team so far, let along being elite.

This season is lost.

Obviously CP3 is taking a step back with his age and Gordon is playing like crap so far.

But everything is about Harden, for those of us keep hoping somehow he will become more mature and starting to correct his errors and also mentally much stronger and step up to be a leader,

LOL.

 

Oh, I know it's dumb stuff. I'm just repeating what other posters said in this gamethread.

 

So it’s not MDA?

 

Then why people typing dumb things like bringing Harden back in in the 4th quarter will make us blow a big lead and lose?

 

My point is that it is less him than everyone else when you look at the total picture. He was totally frustrating today though lol.
