ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 12/28/2014

Harden is the PG, point SG, same as LBJ's point SF, one of the very best in the league now.

 

Not sure if serious ... But I don't think Smith's current value works that way since he isn't counting 13.5 against the cap...

Plus I wouldn't trade Smith after a sample size of 2 games.

 

Stay on topic.

 

I've said when we acquired Josh Smith, but the Rockets simply have to many big men who can't hit free throws. When D-Mo is your best free throw shooter at 64%, your in trouble.

 

Thats a problem when if his backcourt mate cant create for himself and relies on others to get him a shot

 

That's from 2008!!

 

There's this thing called defense. He does it really, really well. He also is a legitimately great rebounder from the small forward position. He got 10 boards in Memphis. He's an important player for the Rockets. Really.

 

It's really how we lose games. Go watch that game again. It is really frustrating how we lose.

I don't care if we lose 7/10 like the Spurs, they get beat on an unlucky 3OT historic game because the other team hit huge and lucky shots. That's not really how we lose. We make mistakes. We put them on the line all game. We kept turning it over.

 

We need a better point guard and better shooting from the free throw line

 

lmfao gotta love all the blow up posts from "fans" lmao

 

Hope the lesson will be learned. when the game is close, everyone needs to focus on the efficiency, not gamble on 3s.

 

we gave that game away lmao...missed free throws and 24 turnovers? yeah im not worried at all

 

it happens all the time, even when we win

 

No we lost because of poor free throw shooting

 

Dude, reread the posts. You were disrespectful to me for no reason. I told you stop hating on Harden for making one mistake. You were on his nuts all year when he hit those big shots. You can't hop on and off when you want. He was in a bad situation. The other team knew we needed a three and he couldn't get an inch to shoot it.

 

Black and Howard are the only ones that shot poorly. The rest were at or above there averages.

Pop is smart. He hacked Dorsey when we were hot. Duncan hacked Howard when he had good position.

 

This is the first close game the Rockets have lost all season, so it's not like this is some kind of crisis.

 

Corey Brewer had the hot hand actually his speed and energy is so high. I'm dumbfounded he didn't play crunch minutes. We lost by turnovers, the one Harden fancy blind dribbling out of bound. We should of just fed Dwight more.

 

Haha imagine how all those teams that lost to us without Howard, jones, bev and papa feel.

It's the nba, you're not going to win every game. The Spurs - with or without Parker and Leonard - are a damn good team. It took a terrible night of turnovers and questionable calls for them to beat us. We learn and move on.

 

Way too many turnovers.
