ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Suns 12/21/2019

Both teams shooting like 60%

 

70-65 Rockets @hakeem94

 

Harden has played 18 minutes and has 29 points

 

Suns are looking like the Bucks tonight. Playing completely out of control, and getting rewarded for it. Not fun to watch.

 

We take Harden for granted... he's just a blessing.

 

Am I going to just have to start inviting you to watch my cable? I have cable because, unlike Tilman, I do not give a damn about luxury tax savings!

 

basically no hating at all so far in this game. haters either taking the night off or the Rockets are playing perfect basketball

 

Defense?

 

Wow. He’s been good, but somehow that was a very quiet 29.

 

We don't look like title contenders defensively. We got to tighten up on that end and play more disciplined. If we lock in we could do it.

 

He doesn’t seem athletic enough to me.

 

Chilli's has a couple of good cat dishes.

 

Almost both in the Valley of the Suns ..... Mike is glad to be back and contested early.

 

Absolutely. However I do think our offense is more dynamic for the playoffs now. I'm less worried about us shooting brick after brick without driving.

 

I think we would have to slow our pace to reach top 10 defensively. It’s hard to play at a high pace and shoot lots of threes which lead to long rebounds and still be a great defensive team, unless you’ve got someone like giannis.

 

All of our starters are shooting above 50%...our bench is not.

 

Harty could do more than McLemore and House. They have 7 pts and one rebound between them in 28 minutes. Put in Harty next to Clint next half

 

We need a backup big. Bring back Faried. For the love of God just bring him back please

 

Yeah, if we were playing any defense it’d be perfect. Looks like a night off.

Why isn’t Harty in there? He can set a pick, take a stab at blocking out, maybe attempt some defense.

 

SVG just said the defense is good. Maybe not great, but lots of defensive effort from both teams
