ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 1/29/2019

That's embarrassing and disgusting. Small ball Rockets makes me want to scream "Get us another big Morey, and do it now!!"

 

Do you seriously watch any games? Have you seen how Paul has looked? Go back to Jenny Lin net troll

 

Oh boy.
Do you even watch the games?

So let me get this straight, Harden needs to worry about getting his teammates better.

Harden, the same guy getting all his teammates a plethora of WIDE OPEN shots game after game after game. These same teammates, who can't string two good games back to back?

It's almost like you're in denial and if Harden didn't shoot 30 shots a game, the Houston Rockets would have a chance of cracking 50 points.

In case it hasn't been made abundantly clear to you, our team is utter trash, and would be even worse - as comical as that is to say - if it wasn't for our best player being consistently double and triple teamed.

Think about that. We're playing 4 on 3 or 4 on 2 defenders on multiple occasions throughout the game, and we still can't get one player to consistently provide.

You're right, I wish Harden worried more about getting the team better, maybe then he'd average 20 assists per game instead of what he averages now.

 

Or they'll win both and everyone will be happy. Except for the Nuggets and Jazz.

 

I’m about to go outside and practice some free throws lol

 

Once again Tucker is another eye sore on the box score -- 9 points on 12 shots taken. 2-9 from three.

Not only does Morey need to bring House back ASAP, House should replace Tucker as the starting 4. House is taller and has a longer wingspan. He's straight up a better rebounder, shot blocker, and 3pt shooter. It's a damn shame he's stuck in the G-league. It's cost us games against the Nets and now Pelicans.

 

Yes he needed to do that when he was only with one playmaker with Rivers. Now he got CP3 and Gordon back. He just had to trust them and let them make plays when the opposing defense is so focused on him. Look CP3 only attempted less than 10 shots

 

Hope y'all are ready for back to back losses to the Nuggets and Jazz this week!

Have to win these games. Have to. The Rockets simply don't care, though.

 

I thought Paul had more of the ball on minutes per possession then Harden and he looked awful. Gordon is not a playmaker

 

Wait for it. Rockets will show up against the Nuggets and Jazz, and everyone will think they're back. Then, those dumbasses will throw away a few more games and end up facing the Warriors in the second round.

 

Its clear AD wont come to houston because of this game

 

You dont watch any games so just stop.CP had the ball a lot and he looked slow

 

This isn't complicated.

Either Chris Paul plays like a $160 mil player, or we are screwed.

Harden and Capela both stepped their games up this year. This is all on Chris Paul. Is he all talk or is he actually going to step up?

 

Utah is on fire and Denver won’t be easy.

 

Absolutely...PJ could have gone and taken a dump and no one would've missed him. Only difference would have been the crap would not have been left on the court. You are right...certainly was no toughness and effort tonight. But I most hated the Pelicans double and even triple teamed Harden and no one came to help.

 

What's clearer is that we can't pimp our guys out in a trade for AD after this audition. They would want our first round and 2nd round draft picks until hell freezes over.

 

Ask Charles Barkley how important height is in rebounding. I realize he's not popular with some here but he could damn sure rebound...6"6". While at Auburn I watched him beat Ky's two 7 footers, Turpin and Bowie, like he owned them. Rebounding is about WANTING the rebound.

 

Screwed we are.

Spoiler

Gonna be a long next 3 years.

 

Loool

 

I'd like to see Manimal at the 4 next to NeNe (Clint, eventually), if only for a few experimental stretches. Hoping to see more stops, more rebounding on D, and maybe more transition buckets. In half-court sets, our three guards could play off double-elbow sets.
