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

We got screwed than a prostitute on Black Friday tonight. What a ridiculous call. I can wait until we thrash them in Phillips arena! (I live in GA, by the way)

 

Poorly played 2 games on the raw , you can't just blame officials . harden drives is so predictable , Haward slow the office, Jerry& Papa with shaky PT.

Worst of all
d12
Ariza
Harden
All played 40+ minutes

McHale is once again in 7 player rotation mode( Blake ,Nick minutes are irrelevant )

 

1. This is what happens when we blow it on defense. We just can't create enough points, especially if Harden struggles. That's the trade off with Parsons/Ariza. Not sure how much the new additions move the needle.

2. I love Bev. He's a bulldog. But this teams really needs Dragic.

3. Ariza & Bev seriously need to learn how to get Howard involved. DMo too. When your shots aren't falling you need to turn to your big guys and they just couldn't get it to either.

As Carl said I think Houston is very good (losing to Atlanta isn't a bad loss), but we clearly still aren't a top tier team. 52 wins, 4-6 seed, 1st round exit unless Ariza learns how to freaking dribble, or we make an upgrade at point.

 

Why isnt Canaan playing?

 

It wasn't a push, Dwight's man was going forward for a block. Then they only called it when Terry made the shot lol.

 

i really want to know what's the deal with canaan

also, here's hoping shved/brewer can see the court and give the guys some rest

 

I want to give this comment a second play.

 

Here a loss and Dallas won... had to sting

 

Rockets in a slump, in danger of sinking in the West. It happens.

 

I was thinking that too

after d12 came back DMO sux and our team sux.

 

Meh, all this means is that getting a top seed means nothing this year if you have to end up playing the Spurs.

 

What happen to the first Denver game?

 

The problem is the team defense.
Our team defense is too suck since D Howard return

 

Worst officiating I have ever seen. So bad that I yelled some questionable things at the ref and got a formal warning. I would have yelled at them some more but they had already thrown the game out of reach...

 

the jason terry offensive foul was the most ridiculous one, took two points out of us and the momentum, for all the other touch fouls, i am ok with them, just have to figure out a fixed rotation now, i think after the starters came back, there is a bit confusion about the rotation and who is gonna play, mchale need to make sure everybody knows if he is gonna play, when and how long, it's just an adjustment

 

Honestly forgot about that one, and that was the one where Dwight and DMo looked so great together.

 

how has canaan moved out the rotation

 

Tough schedule. Anthony Davis impact is just too strong. Sucks we had to play him twice on 3 nights.

Spoiler

Didn't know he got traded to the Hawks with all the Brewer action yesterday...

 

Did you notice the lineup for the Spurs?

Not a single regular starter played.

No Leonard, Duncan, Parker, Splitter, Ginobli, Green, Mills.

They dont seem to take losing regular season games as a big issue.

 

All the top Western Conf teams have had some bad losses to bad teams this year, so should the Rockets and us fans really be worried?

Cause i am..
