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

I would love it if he does this more often.

 

I’ve noticed since I move to nyc that most people I hear complain about “hardens Play style” up here, when I press them on it. They never see him play...they just hear about it and read about it and repeat what they see and hear

 

Watching potential to me is entertaining. I love when i see growth from young players. Or getting high value production for low price. There's a lot of things i love in basketball except for winning. I think it's foolish to only ever think about winning in a sport that has 30 Teams and only 1 Team really "winning".
Odds are, you're mostly going to end up depressed.

 

P R E S E A S O N

 

More yikes than EGo?

 

There is no potential here, only for role players. There arent any superstar talents here right now. Wall and Boogie are all star but thats it.

 

Really were you saying that last game? Every game is important if you want James to buy in.

 

Its hold your breath system, because lesser players have more impact, positively AND negatively, for deciding teams fate.

 

well sure . But I mean they won’t be locked in when they first try to integrate either . I think wall and cousins looking healthy is better than if we were playing better defense vs the Bulls in preseason game 2

 

I’m still seeing a lot of 1 pass and then chuck a three possessions...it’s not like we’re running Denver Nuggets type offense without Harden

at the end of the day, I just want the team to be good...this team will be at its most entertaining with Harden on the floor...it’s still gonna be much of what we’ve been seeing the past few years, just with a bit less ISO from Harden and a bit more actions being run

 

Wall hasn't had a great game, but he's looked better than KD looked earlier tonight. Basically same stat line in 9 fewer minutes and he hasn't had the benefit of living at the FT line.

 

Adjustment time boys. NO MDA HERE!

 

Yes i was. people are kidding themselves if they think we are winning anything.

i don’t want james to buy in. He made a decision, stop crawling into his buttcheeks.

 

We weren't champs after a game and we're not basement dwellers after two. We're still missing Wood and missing time for the guys to gel. Also without Harden, this team is a 5-8 seed in the West at best.

 

Good hands by Tate!

 

Guess not.

 

Damn the bulls are bad. Top 3 pick guaranteed

 

3rd quarter starting off like a turd.

And that's with the starters playing.

 

Tate's been pretty active. Good hustle guy so far.
