ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pacers 12/20/2013

Sometimes the most important games to watch are the ones where you're being soundly beaten.

Right now the gaps in the Houston roster are being badly exposed. This isn't a bad thing, it's necessary if Houston wants to move up to being a real contender. As long as the Rockets learn from the experience, it's not all for naught.

 

I meant to say core.

 

High school girls in red vs pacers in yellow

 

Awesome effort, Rockets.

 

Thanks. I will make sure i schedule myself to work that day

 

lol dmo is such a scrub

 

The coaches are suposed to facilitate players' job. When you are a player and you have to play 1on1 and 1on5 becasue there is no help from the coaching staff, it is more likley that you commit turnovers, mistakes and bad take wrong decisions.

 

Jones is a -30 and our bench outside of Smith has not scored except for one FT!

 

Season isn't over, but McHale sucks. Doesn't have the team's (Harden's) respect. He has no offensive scheme and supposedly he's a defensive coach, but even that's not great. Rockets win on talent most nights.

 

THAT was sarcasm. People are questioning everything after a game like this - I was just quoting, what other people were saying.

We are not a mature team yet. When we are bad, we are really bad. When the other team goes on a run, we don`t know how to stop them, when we are in a slump we are gonna stay there for a long time. And we are just figuring out how to best play with a star big man.

This does not mean that Harden sucks, that the coaching sucks or that any other major piece sucks. This just means we, the fans, need some patience and perhaps some lower expectations. Before the seasons everyone was saying, we are not contenders yet. Our goal was HCA in the first round. We are on pace for just that. So, this season is not a disaster - for Morey, it is all going according to plan.

Road bumps happen...

 

This team has no competitive fire, they are lackadaisical, and think they'll win games b/c they're good on paper. We run no offense (Mchale) and we just don't have the will to win. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. This team should make the playoffs (let's hope) and unless they change their ways... they're going nowhere, NOWHERE in the playoffs. Disgusting

 

have you ever took a lazy ****? this is that

 

There you go, all you dumbasses that wanted D-Mo got your wish. A bad post move that left him with a hook shot from under the basket....fantastic basketball.

 

9 assist. Laughable.

 

N e 1 agree?

 

Oh well, our team definitely has its worked cut out for them. Just an off shooting night for our team. The pacers look like a one game away finals team, firing at all cylinders

 

Scooooolaaaaaa

 

How can he create if he doesn't have the ball....

You guys blame everything on bev and it just gets so stupid....

Harden has been a show stopper tonight on offense and defense, he has to learn to play team ball.. Lin would not be directing the team, lin would not be creating his own shot with Harden out there. So see the game for what it is and not for what you want.

T_Man

 

D-Mo has no feel for the game. He just looks completely lost out there.

 

It's called a bad match up, can people not see that?
