ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 1/2/2015

All those talents on the team are wasted with the coaching (or lack of) by McFail.
And btw, did Beverley think he's Tony Parker himself?

 

I know dwight has been the scapegoat but the a big problem is Ariza and Bev havent been able to hit anything for some time now

 

He'll just blame the players again, "not enough energy" "no sense of desperation" etc..

 

The truth hurt.

 

bev needs to stop driving to the basket. they might as well be counted as turnovers since they hardly go in.

 

Smith, Ariza, and Bev shot a combined 2-15 from the field in the first half. How can you compete in this league with those kinds of performances? And this isn't just an isolated incident. They've been collectively stinking up the joint every night this past week.

 

Morey will continue to revamp the roster year in and year out without having consecutive years of having some semblance of familiarity. How does an individual who graduated from MIT not understand such a simple concept as team chemistry.

 

I thought Davis and maybe Jrue Holiday would be the ones combining for 30+ by halftime, not Tyreke Evans and Ryan Anderson.

What's going on with the interior defense?

 

Dwight and Harden have to do all of the scoring but we just don't match up well against the Pelicans

 

There isn't team leader
When the team's offense is in trouble, they didn't play any defense
MVP? MDP? It's ridiculous!

 

Asik with that footspeed

If McHale is really angry, he should change the rotation starting the 3rd quarter. Why didn't he sub people out earlier?

Sit Bev for Canaan, sit Ariza for Papa. Dorsey and DMo in.

We are regressing in the middle of the season instead of rounding into form.

 

@clutchfans: Beverley, Ariza, Smith, Terry & Brewer, players the Rockets count on to hit open shots off their stars, are a combined 4-24 FG & 1-11 3P.

 

This too much party and drink argument in New Year is BS.. as if Rockets players are the only one partying in the new year

 

come on, have a look at the Pistons schedule, they have had an easy run since he left and he hasn't played that much for us anyway

 

Do something about it. Bench Howard and send a message.

 

sould've gave ariza a 1 yr contract

 

I hate our three point shooting. We rely on it so much that we panic and take a crap load when we start losing. We have no three point shooters! Ariza for got how to shoot. Bev doesn't even look like an NBA player right now. Terry is ehh. Canaan is ehh but doesn't eve play. Pap is streaky AF. Dmo is on and off. Brewer is good at one spot.

Harden is the only offense option.

 

What exactly is our offensive system again?

 

I don't mind Mike Malone.
