ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 2/21/2019

Hopeless season for Rockets.

 

I’ll say it again and again.. Tucker doesn’t provide anything on the court to start. 3 points from our starting PF is terrible. There’s not enough defense in the world to make up these missed points.

 

Can you believe the Rockets haven't played a game since the 11th and their next game is on Monday?!

 

He does not want to win. He wants to have the team to inflate his billionaire status like Cuban (who barely lucked in to a ship himself.)

The middle and upper middle class buy luxury / sports cars and mini-mansions

Multi- millionaires buy commercial property, and small jets

Billionaires buy casinos and professional sports teams.

He wants to flex, diversify portfolio and try to give his bozo sons a new toy to tinker with.

TF is a crap owner.

 

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ! As the announcers said....there is no one else to take the pressure off Jimmy and CP3 for that matter. We just don't have enough surrounding them. Even at that...should have been enough to beat this pathetic Laker Bunch. There is virtually no chance of winning a Scott Foster game.

 

LOL, you try being refered by the worst one is sports, guys lose their cool, its fine. There are bigger problems,....but you complain just to complain so what can i expect.

 

Yes, the refs were bad, but Rockets have been blowing leads left and right this season

You have to close out games like this. We lost about 10-15 games we should have won. IMO the blame is partially on coaching, injuries and mostly on Muray failing to make the right moves this season. It takes time for the team to get back to what we built last year..

 

Sometimes. But he's been pretty good overall this year in the clutch

 

It's not just on him. Green shot 0/8 from the 3pt and played no defense. Rivers was bad again.... and has been for a while now.

 

I know people don't want to hear this but remember how Chris webber was saying how the Rockets need a guy that can go get a bucket. Thats Daniel House. When Harden drives it Daniel House can catch and shoot or put the ball on the ground for a basket. With PJ not hitting wide open shots are off nights from Gerald Green you need this guy to ensure that Harden and Chris have just a little more consistent help. That's the part House does just like Faried they have help

 

Maybe take a step back and realize that you're brushing aside the officiating we just witnessed to try and score points against fellow Clutchfans. This type of attitude is the scum stuck to everyone's shoes around here right now.

 

ok i will forget about tonight's loss if we win on Saturday night

 

Rockets gave this game away & I saw it coming before halftime. Harden took like 4 stupid stepbacks & CP dribbled the ball off his freakin foot. They basically handed Lebron this win

 

What do you expect when you have so many midgets?

Defense and rebounding, you cant expect midgets do much.

 

Dam, didnt he have 6 assists at half? None in the 2nd....?

 

The last charge call was particularly stupid. Harden had zero momentum going towards the basket. In that top down view they showed it seemed pretty clear.

 

I was thinking that Hardens floater is super reliable and unblockable... something he could rely on at the end of games... I was wrong

 

Called it.

 

Tucker needs to see his minutes reduced. He brigs nothing out thereif is defense is off like it was tonight.faried should have played more and Tucker less.

 

You can blame both. Refs dictate the games. Harden had to sit and be careful not to get more fouls. Still they call bs fouls on him yet he didn’t get many when they were hand checking him. Kuzma Ingram and lebron got calls where they weren’t even fouls.
That contributes in the runs teams have. Just like golden state against us. We were hot yet they call bs fouls and didn’t call blantlan fouls on Harden.
Of course I blame the team too specially Eric, Green and tucker. Only consistency they have had all year is that they can make open shots and make stupid turnover. It’s so frustrating watching them play I swear.
