ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Bulls 12/13/2020 (Preseason)

Wall is 5 for 13 from the field. 2 for 5 from three

He seems to be forcing his jump shot, he's out of control too

Hope he chills out a bit

 

Trying to shake off the rust & find his shot, better to do it now than in the regular season.

 

casuals hate hardens play style because it’s the hardest style to master and harden does it the best it’s ever been done in league history. They want to dumb down his offense because Steph curry and the other players they hype up like kawhi wouldnt last the season playing that style. They claim they hate his style. But the reality is that they are jealous and envy his playstyle because they can’t do it

 

Curious guys, does this style of play which seems to be a little more player involved instead of everything coming from harden- does it satisfy you or would u say it’s drastically different?

I know on d u guys aren’t switching everything but offense specifically, do u enjoy this style of play the last 2 games?

 

only pre season...........and he plays good off Harden. Shot the ball decently in the first pre season game

 

people yearn for entertainment. Watching iso isn't as entertaining.

Nobody wants james out of town. He himself wants to go. And now it's time to move on.

 

If Bulls just hit their FT, the CF would be in full meltdown mode.

Bulls shooting under 70% from line.

 

I enjoyed it when we were winning and dont now that they are losing LOL.

Honestly though, this was some awful stuff this game and Im wondering about everyone who wanted the mid range back too.

 

Preseason can be useful to look at individual guys , but to make statements about the entire team based on looking at the score is dumb

wall physically looks very good still .

cousins will prolly be a defensive liability , but his skill with harden and/or wall on the court is absurd for offense .

Nwaba and Tate look at least james ennis level .. and hey , he played . Green looks good . House I don’t see why he’d regress .

you add harden , pj , and Christian wood (whatever he looks like ) to this group you can put some wins up .

no team is gonna be locked in on a string the first month . And if you get locked in the first month I doubt it lasts all 72 . Short runway , short break .. but our two best players from last year are chilling right now .

 

Also, the constant dread of your stars getting injured and your season getting derailed.

 

Really watching dude's run around like chicken's with their head cut of was exciting?

 

being irrelevant while struggling to be a .500 team and missing the playoffs isn’t entertaining

there are definitely some who want Harden gone, some of them have been spewing BS on here for years

 

5-13 but a couple offensive fouls that he did make the shot in got called

i love his aggressive nature. Imagine if he was timid, people would be attacking him for that as well

 

haha yea it’s always great when you’re winning right? again, a philosophical shift with the mid range coming back more with Silas this year. I think you’ll find a happy medium- not too much because the 3 is so prevalent but also taking what the defense gives u with the mid range.

walls speed can create enough separation to get a foul line jumper very frequently

 

You don’t get wood without giving up roco. Overall I think it’ll be an upgrade and you filled a position of need.

 

I respect your opinion but i think it's incredibly wrong and you're projecting your own opinion onto other people and think they are disingenuous if they say they think otherwise.

Not everyone loves iso. Not everyone needs to iso. And you're right, James is incredibly durable with what he does. Steph Curry not only would get injured but simply just couldnt do it.

 

Probelem is that if we want to get those two to buy in, I would rather we look good sooner rather than later.

 

I think some of this is a cockiness (not a bad thing) where he's trying to be the John Wall of old. i don't think he's there yet (if ever), but he's been playing harder with less hesitation than I thought he'd ever be. Demarcus is playing kind of out of control on those one-on-one spins and stuff. He gives me a heart attack every time he tries to do a spin move.
