ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pacers 1/18/2013

goodbye Mcfail

 

TJ has started off hot again has 17pts so far game is in the 2nd qtr.

 

Our problem is also offense.

We are averaging like 95ppg.

When we play up tempo our bigs HAVE TO MAKE SHOTS. Period. This is why D'antoni and other fast-break teams always have bigs who can shoot.

If Morris and 2pat are not making their shots then take them the **** out. We NEED a guy that can stretch the floor, period. Morris and Ppat are just passing up open shots or bricking them.

 

He does if he puts Anderson in the rotation........start a few minutes here and there...not just garbage minutes.

 

The baby rox have truly hit the wall, especially Harden. We need a win to just get this team's confidence up.

 

I agree - he might do more hero if Harden wasn't. I don't know it's some kind mental block. Either way if coach sat Harden his miss shot could gone Parson, Lin, Bev or Delino. 9-14 between the 4 of from 3pt range with our 2 PG where perfect 4-4.

Anyways, these minutes play for Harden getting to be BS.

 

Like another poster said, Asik's score is deceptive. Our guards create very easy shots for him, he ought to have 30-35 points. When the guard passes to him and Asik drops the ball, the TO is credited to the guards, not Asik, so it's like transferring bad stats onto the guards and Asik's bad aspects are invisible. Instead, Asik has 8-12 shooting, which looks really good, all while making our guards look bad.

 

Coach is going to run Harden into the ground. He should've play more Beverley and Douglas. Houston will be out of playoffs if Harden get injured

 

Anderson made the mistake of starting his Rockets career going 0-3. That ended his chances of ever becoming part of the rotation. Serious.

 

Douglas and Anderson are the backups but McHale doesn't play them

 

Do you really believe McHale will be let go? McHale needs to play the bench more minutes to spell the starters.

 

Donatas Motiejunas: 1 minute, 1-1, 2 pts
Patterson-Morris-Smith: 54 combined minutes, 1-15, 3 pts

Thanks McHale! Those guys just need to keep battlefightin'!

 

This why continue hate KM. F__king so stuborn.

 

it looks like Harden has lost his confidence lately

 

Right but even in the losing streak we have still put up over 100 points a couple times. I'd rather see an improvement in defense, D-Mo would get manhandled down there. How effective would he really be against West and Hibbert? You seriously think he's the answer?

All of our small fowards and guards are predominantly 3 point shooters, we have no inside game at all. When you think about the D'Antoni's Phoenix teams, they had Stoudamire who was a predominantly inside player.

 

Coach needs to increase the rotation...either Asik, Lin, or Harden fallling to injury will probably ensure no post season.

 

bye bye mchale. hello alvin gentry

 

I think the Rockets can win with Beverley and Douglas playing significant backcourt minutes.

And the good thing about that is, if they miss 2 shots in a row, they get pulled from the game. Unlike Harden who's allowed to build a brick house.

 

Why can't the Rockets get a coach that coach and play all of his players that deserve to play. Instead we get the old school 8 players play the bulk of minutes type of coaches. Will Chris Finch be that coach?

 

He has a better post game...and better inside outside game than both Morris and PPat...He needs a bit more bulk...but he is light years ahead offensively than either one of our supposed 4's
