ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 2/1/2019

Morey better have some massive changes ready at the deadline.

 

This is what happened

-Let the Nuggets score at will from inside the paint
-Get easy buckets at the rim opened up the floor for the Nuggets
-Nuggets hit open threes and gained confidence
-Nuggets are launching threes at an extreme confidence and shooting rhythm.


Too old, too slow, too short.

 

"ThReE AnD D"

 

With what assets ?

 

Man, no Capela is really having an effect.

DD

 

Stellar defense! Need more of it.

 

Be nice to get Capela healthy too... he's probably our second best player.

 

Cp3 contract is an abomination

 

Lol the fact that pj tucker is starting in the nba at the sf position or as a super undersized pf is a joke

 

The offense generated 71 points but good lord the Ennis, Rivers and Paul perimeter defense was hideous

 

Two Observations:

- Defense always looks so difficult for this group. It has looked this way ever since Capella went down. It takes near-perfect switching and coverage to get a rebound and go the other way. I'm not sure what to do about it, but we are struggling badly on D without him.

- CP3's shots always feel labored. Like he has to shoot shots with an unbelievable degree of difficulty. He hits an impressive percentage of them, but that doesnt detract from the fact that he basically doesnt get them. He is also struggling when he's in a position of physicality, especially in the lane. Maybe its just me, but I dont feel he trusts his hamstring yet, and so we're seeing him play tentative.

 

i didn't think you would ramble about a player that doesnt even matter. if that's your goal keep me out of it

 

Whatever, I’m cool not even making playoffs. It is what it is

 

I'm predicting a win.

 

Put CP3 in the corner for awhile.

 

Rotation players look like 10 years older than nuggets.

 

trade everyone but harden for AD.

throw michelle in there too.

 

Games like this will not probably have buyout players lining up to play in Houston.

 

83-71????

Anyone playing defense??

Rocket River

 

Are teams starting to work out that it's easy to destroy the Rockets with size? Mason Plumlee looked like a scoring threat every time he got it, it's just sad.

And Morey leaves the G League player of the month, who happens to be 7 FEET TALL, to rot in the Rio Grande Valley
