ClutchFans Game Thread: Hawks @ Rockets 12/20/2014

Dwight looks like it's such a big burden to come out and set a solid screen.

 

I'm wondering that myself. He did not look like himself in that first half. Then again, it could just be the Hawks' defense frustrating him. His play tonight reminds me a lot of that series against Portland where he could never get himself going(at least until it was too late).

 

This is the old rox.lazy and no effort.

 

The bench is the reason the Hawks have the lead

 

Where the hell is Canaan?

McHale you are an idiot.

 

Harden's offense has been taken out by Carroll of all people. Our spacing has been bad.

Then our defense has gone missing. Bigs are being taken out of the paint. We need to play a switching defense that has guys guard certain zones.

 

FTFY.

 

The rockets roleplayers aren't putting pressure on themselves to shoot better because the team is winning with them shooting bad. This bad shooting has been going on for a while now.

The rockets look directionless on offense. It's not all one on one, but the things they try seem pointless or just aren't well executed.

 

Dwight is a joke. Heart soft.

 

Well, that and the Rockets shooting 29% in the first half. You ain't gonna beat anyone in this league making less than 3 out of every 10 shots.

 

Wow ! What's the excuse tonight ? Back to back ? Nope ! Tired ? Nope !

 

credit to Atlanta though, they have some great passing and they don't dribble the ball much at all

 

Exactly, saw that too and the beautiful thing was that Harden passed it to Beverley. Howard's body language does not look good and I wouldn't be surprised if he's out for a few weeks soon..

 

on the bright side, if the Spurs roll the Mavs tonight, i can live with a loss here

 

Something is up. No way the D goes bad this quick. Too many lay ups giving up by the team. Are they upset by the trade? Wish Brewer and Shved could play tonight.

 

Harden 0-7. He's been carrying us for too long.

 

don't read too much in to it, the Hawks are a good team

give credit where it is due, they are just outplaying us

 

We did not have a good gameplan vs. Hawks offense and defense. Scouting fail

This is how we look like when we don't have Harden's normal game. Ugly fugly

We should have ended the first half with our twin towers.

 

Strange that the Spurs are winning with none of their stars playing. The Dallas coach must suck.

 

he still is with 5 assists, this team needs another play maker badly
