ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 1/21/2015

Harden has 16 points on 11 shots and five assists. Don't know what you are watching.

The Rockets have got to slow the game down. The fast break points are killing us. It's layup after layup after layup.

 

Whiteside > Dwight

 

Well, I'll just hope it is a 10 point game by the 4th quarter.

 

Jalen Rose's first words on halftime coverage, "This is when Dwight Howard needs to be a dominant all-star."

Jalen Rose... F*** YOU.

 

This is what happened this game:

-Rockets came out with some intensity for once
-refs made some garbage calls that ruined the momentum the rockets were building.
-GS got some lucky bounces their way in every aspect possible.
-The rockets started going into panic mode
-Ariza and Bev showed why they can't be relied on to do anything other than stand in a corner and shoot 3's
-lots of turnovers
-The Warriors made some amazing plays that require a lot of skill.
-The rockets became more dejected and stopped playing defense altogether.
-lay ups for the Warriors everywhere.
-D-mo lost his confidence because as the Warriors scored more and more the Rockets started to feel tons of pressure
-Harden is having to play 1v5 and his fg% shows it.

 

Jon Barry loves the fluffy cream..

 

This is very disheartening and sickening fellow Rockets fans. Where is the fire, the heart, the passion and the competitiveness?

 

I double question ! They are running no set plays ! The Warriors are getting wide open shots. Effort ? Hahahaha

 

So the Rox are about to get swept by the dubs this season? WTF

This sux big time.

 

This. It's sad what he needs to do in order for us to win. Obviously no player can sustain that either

 

I don't think anybody thought the Rockets were going to seriously contend for a title this year, but I'd be lying if I said I knew we were this far off.

 

Today's NBA is super soft. The Lambert and McHorn Detroit Pistons would beat the crap out of you by being super physical to try to get out your comfy zone. Don't see this happening anytime here so if the dynamics don't change in this game, we will be lucky to keep it under 30. Sigh...

 

Ugh...just awful. Can we fire Mchale now?!!

 

GSW is a better team no doubt.

 

And that is why we lose. Dwight is terrible in the post. Turnovers, loose balls knocked away, missed shots, getting shots blocked, no passion, all bonehead plays. He is what we thought he was.

 

No matter if they are predictable they are missing open shots and getting out hustle for 50/50 balls and steals.

 

GS backcourt already with 32. Believe they had 54 last game. Well on their way again.

18 for the Houston backcourt.

 

I wonder how the Homers are feeling now? Is anyone going to step up or just step up when we get wins. You see, I step up to the plate and gets tons of hate when I call this teams flaws.

 

The problem is Dwight - he doesn't understand how to play the team game and never will. Lazy screens, careless with the ball, doesn't block out, stupid fouls - he's the rare whole package of basketball no-nos. He's a guy whose entire success in the league was the result of his insane athleticism and now that it's waning, he's losing any effectiveness.

This team will never win with such a player taking up so much cap space. We can criticize the faults of all the other guys, but Beverly, Ariza, Smith.....these guys aren't the reason we can't improve. It's the $20M dead weight in the middle that's holding this team back. The highest paid player on any teams roster should be a leader by example, and Dwights stupid and selfish play only serves as an example of NOT how to play the game.

I want him gone yesterday....I can't stand to watch one more game with him on this team.
