ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 4/16/2012

The Rockets even as bad are they are playing, should be the favorite in Dallas on Wednesday

 

Dear Les, Morey and Rockets organization members:

Fix it. Houston is the fourth largest city in the country and you still can't give us a competitive team? You have a market. Why are you full of failure? You are one of the most profitable clubs in the sports and that's the problem. We as fans are only so patient and we are about to stop rewarding your mediocre product. I am done spending money on you and I'm sure many others at this point don't want to go to your games or waste their time watching it. If I were your boss, I would fire you. Dallas just won a championship, the Spurs are in line to likely compete for another, and what have the Rockets done in 15 years? Nothing. You have done nothing.

****in tired from what??? they had the weekends off and blow leads both games smdh

 

All the teams are tired. This is no excuse.

 

My heart keeps getting ripped out by this team!

 

There you go Coach, everyone has seen the photo that PPAT has of you, can we play a real big man in the future? you know, the guy that had 7 blocks?

 

Screw it. Go Utah!

 

The officiating was predictably awful, but aside from that...

Andre Miller was 2-for-8 for four points. He's a 36-year-old that averages 10 points per game. The Rockets doubled him every single time down the stretch, and it resulted in the two decisive (and uncontested) shots for Denver. LET HIM BEAT YOU, or at least make him make one freakin' shot before you treat him like he's Kobe Bryant. The Nuggets have a lot of weapons. Miller isn't one of them. To double Miller off the likes of Afflalo, Harrington, etc. is just inexcusable.

 

Unbelievable

I cannot believe it. Considering the type of roadtrip we had....arguably the best i've seen in 20 years to literally meltdown like this at home is completely inexplicable. I could care less about whether this team makes the playoffs after this crap. The Rockets are a complete and utter joke. Where are all the folks that said we shouldn't have tanked????

 

Denver "you gonna eat yo cornbread?"

 

Mediocrity again.

 

McHale over plays his starters, and underplays his bench.

In a year in which good coaches like Popovich rest players, McHale does the opposite.

Just unbelievably stupid.

DD

 

Yay, another 14th pick!!!!!!!

 

I'm so sick of refs blowing games for us! It's like they do everything they can to make us lose!

I realize you have to play thru that stuff and over come it. But when they are giving free throws to one team and not the other, that's free points that you can't get back

 

This one hurts, so bad.

 

Why cant we score when other teams dont have shot blockers on the court? If they pack the paint and force us to shoot 3s - Why cant we do the same to them instead of letting them get tot he rim at will?

 

This.

Accept its every h-town team. Since 1995.

 

I hope they both pass us up. Its the best thing for the Rockets possible. Utah and Phoenix. it never works out how I want though and it consequently never gets better. Isnt that the 13th pick if they both pass? I am cheering for them both.

 

Ah the # 9 seed feels like home...
