ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 1/14/2020

yes and while you j*zz all over yourself assisted by your bag of viagra don't forget to thank the schedulemaker for westbrook not playing this game. without b2b you fuking lose (like usual)

 

Honestly I knew he was going to come in and do exactly what he did the quarter before that. Harden is probably the most stubborn player I've ever watched, all the way to his first year with the Rockets.

Maybe that's why him and MDA love each other some much

 

You make a good point. I like having good dialogue with real rockets fans like myself haha

 

I generally agree with your post, but at some point these 'one off' games really do start to mean a whole lot to the Rockets.

You'd think they would've learnt after last season's regular season ending, that a game here or there means a hell of an awful lot come playoff time.

We're racking up those 'one off' games this season.

 

They just have a good run lately.
2 weeks ago they only had 13 W - 22 L.

 

Paul George was traded for the Thunder, he didn’t pick them over the Rockets. He resigned with OKC because he liked how the organization treated him and his relationship with Westbrook.

You really got to stop it at some point.

 

I agree but I want the easiest possible matchup in the first round. I think our role players need it. Ben mac, house, hartenstein (hopefully is in rotation) need playoff reps before we get to the big dogs. Those guys will probably be more nervous than the rest of the guys and we will need all we can get out of everyone.

 

Lol, yea cause I've read your posts and their all the same damn thing over and over. It's literally what I just said, you stay on Harden all game long, "criticizing" him and mocking, him then you talk about mid range and how our role players are stifled because of the system, did I miss anything....NAH. I did see that gif you posted, really smart stuff I gotta tell you that.

You dont bother to learn, you just let your eye test do the talking without any stats or any knowledge from anyone other than yourself. And I dont find that reliable tbh.

 

Why did Kawhi chose PG over Harden as his running mate for his next attempt at a title run?

 

I’d love to see Harden play with a Draymond/ Jimmy Butler type player who isn’t afraid to tell him “ Pass the ****ing ball!” ( nevermind that’s what got Cp3 traded).Or hold him accountable for doing bullshit. When he dribbled our the shot clock, none of his teammates said a word. Houston is missing veteran leadership.

 

You don't think I can make your posting history here reduced to repetitive spam of incessantly praising Harden and treating him as an infallible entity?

 

To be fair, both of those players are significantly more talented than the majority of the players Harden has on his team. If we had either of those guys, we likely wouldn't have to depend on Harden to be elite every single possession.

 

The grizzlies beat the clippers by 30 and made their fans boo them.
The point is that Ja Morant is playing like a 7 year vet and we have so much talent on this team that is hard to stop.
When yall put eg on jaren, i knew it was over.

 

The loses do mean something. The Rockets are not as talented or as good as the 2017 team. They cannot count on beating teams without Westbrook by just showing up.

The Rockets are not winning anything without personnel additions and the owner has done everything possible to prevent the Rockets from improving... from forcing the Paul trade, to refusing to pay for good defensive coaching assistants so we are left with a mediocre staff... to forcing a trade of Anderson when we could have a 20 million dollar expiring deal, Melton and more assets.

There is a very high likelihood this team doesn’t tangibly improve at the deadline and lose in the first round.

 

I firmly believe during the inevitable Rockets rebuild, they will play a home game in an empty Toyota Center.

I mean, they pretty much do now.

 

Exactly !!! Morey is probably hella excited to get the **** out of this sinking ship and I would swear Dantoni is trying to get fired

 

Did he? I thought he reached out to Harden after they struck out on Butler but Harden refused to leave Houston. I got the sense that PG was the 2nd or 3rd team up option for Leonard.

 

because he 100% wanted to play in LA and there was 0% chance HOU was going to trade harden there?

 

To be fair it was because we couldn't afford Kawhi at the time. We had CP3s contract and had to trade him for Westbrook.

But I doubt Kawhi would join this system.

 

Hartenstein gets just 4 minutes tonight after he was great in the last game......D'Antoni that is poor
