ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 1/19/2015

Are we a good team again now that we're blowing them out?

 

MVP Beard today missed him against GS

 

Here comes the headband brigade.

 

Harden just nutmegged the schit out of that guy.

 

Yeah, but you're arguing against things no one said. No one is seeking a flawless team with no deficiencies in the rotation. I can only speak for myself, since I'm the one you initially took issue with. I'm not a "doomsday fan," nor do I have an issue with the Rockets losing games.

I do, however, have an issue with them coming out w/ only marginal effort game after game after game -- something they admit in like every single post-game interview lately -- playing lackadaisical defense, not taking care of the basketball, giving up when the calls aren't going their way, and frequently taking their foot off the gas when they build a little lead. All of those things have nothing to do with the salary cap, and everything to do with consistent effort. And sure, there are good things that happen on the floor, but it doesn't make me blind to the not-so-good things. Anyway, not gonna keep arguing about this -- we can def agree to disagree.

 

And people were saying we should be blowing them out lol

 

Dwight active and engaged, Harden on fire, crappy opponent. I can get used to this

Dwight looks like a man who's had a good morning. :grin:

 

Head band brigade doing some work
And Harden is on fiiiiiiyaaaaahhhh

 

That fake by Smith was great and funny

 

every now and then he can still be very smoove

 

I will be impressed when we do this against a good team

 

Howard was great against the Warriors

 

Dwight has been playing a lot better the past week or so and his body language has been awesome as of late.

 

29 POINTS ON 10 SHOTS

 

Fear the Beard. although gotta admit golden state defence on Harden was much tougher

 

James Harden plays basketball well.

 

No. Team still needs to cut down on the stupid passes. The rockets are so inconsistent it's not even funny.

 

it's easy to get caught up in game by game performanceS ... west is all matchups this year and right now we don't matchup with GS well. Luckily we still have half a season to figure it out

 

i hate that foul call when the offensive player headbutts the defensive players chest

 

Nope, we only just got pummelled by GSW a few days ago. Beating a **** Eastern conference team changes nothing.
