ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pistons 1/31/2015

Even though this was a bad loss, especially for our PGs, it is wonderful to know James Harden is ok and played in the 2nd half.

 

I am not even to bother with the game, other than to say games like this are expected in a long, long regular season.

The only issue I have is that McHale acted irresponsibly in bringing back Harden with a bruised knee, knowing that he already had a problem with the other knee. I don't care what Harden told him at halftime. As a head coach, you just have to tell your best player to take a seat. Why risk further damage to a mvp candidate in a freaking regular season game is beyond comprehension to me.

 

Send it to the league? Unless you're not gonna start a boycott, nor your name ends with cuban, youll serve your time better shaving your bum hairs. But its not in our culture anymore to make stands unless the tv tells us its actually worth it so yes... you/we are just gonna roll over and keep watching our team and buy into the league cause thats just what we do as fans. We will continue wishing for things/trades/firings all the way to the next season. THE END

 

Thanks .....hate it. They could let the post game run...what a joke ! And yeah, what damn difference does it make if I watch the Pistons post game (663 Pistons Live on now) or the Rockets post game. If I had a choice of listening to the Rockets announcing team instead of the Pistons for the entire game. Why not the post game as well?

Anyone catch Calvin's game analysis? Why did he say we should have won it?

 

i don't feel that upset about this loss, because i was deathly afraid of the worst for harden...

Thank God he's ok...

Here is violet palmers facebook page... you can go ahead and address your concerns about nba officiating

 

I wasn't talking about us as fans, I was asking if anyone knows if the rockets ever complain like the rest of the league apparently does.

 

Paging movie makers. Let's make a vid viral. Harden is getting hacked. Let's make a stand.

 

Damn lol. You guys overreact way too much. Canaan went 0-6, so I hope people stop thinking he's going to solve all of our problems. However, you can't expect him to play well after barely any PT for last few weeks. The more he plays, the better he will be, but he's not worthy of the worship that some of y'all give him. He's a good prospect and can be an important player for us down the stretch. That's his ceiling.

And this loss doesn't mean that the Rockets are a **** team that won't make the playoffs or something. Losses happen. We still need to adjust to not playing with Dwight, and adjust to playing with Jones. Jones himself needs time to adjust. We're in a transition period right now, in between injuries and returns. Jones hasn't played with more than a few of the players we have now.

R-E-L-A-X

 

Frustrating loss since they could've won had they played with that 4th quarter intensity the entire game. Yes, the refs sucked, but had the Rockets not looked like they were mailing it in in early on, maybe they would've gotten more respect(well, not from Violet Palmer who might be the worst ref in the league).

Thankfully, Harden seems to be ok. We can bounce back from a road loss. But not from him injuring his knee. And they did manage to go 4-2 in the final 6 games of January which was the worst I was hoping they'd do. An 11-6 month isn't that bad considering some of their recent struggles.

 

Have to love the passion that Murphy has for the team! I just don't get why the organization hires Murphy as the team's shooting coach. I am sure he can get the FT percentage to improve.

 

Rubio. He is a plus defender, playmaker and passer. He can't shoot but playmaking, and passing are more important IMO.

*hides and runs for cover*

 

Canaan missing all those wide open 3s killed us but I can't entirely blame him since its been awhile since he's been on the NBA floor.

 

Until we find a pg that can at least keep defenses honest, we should move Harden to the point starting the 2nd halves , move brickshooting Ariza to the 2 (only because they pay him too much to bench him) and have Papa at the 3.... Papa is a playmaker... It's nauseating watching the offense when Harden takes breathers...

 

will be same as rondo and monta, no working completely, 1+1<2, Point SG team only need player like fisher or PB.

 

Rondo and Monta doesn't work because Rondo can't shoot for dick and is really bad now.

We could use a second playmaker, for no other reason than because Harden has to rest sometime.

 

Tough loss, but props to Detroit for playing well.

At the end of the day, I'm just happy harden is okay.

 

Also that Monta need the ball on his hand to be effective, and Rondo only make that worse.

PG for Houston should be someone who defense well with 3 pointers and that's all. PB is a good match already, just improve his 3 pointers and everything will be fine.

Problem now is that Houston don't have a good backup center, when DH12 go down, there's no threat inside.

 

Jordan farmer might work not sure if hes still a FA
