ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 3/6/2015

What, exactly, did McHale do that caused DMo to play like a 7 foot vagina?

 

Oh no! Not the point differential!

 

Is this not the greatest argument for MVP there is?

Harden's team literally cannot function without him.

 

Yeah. Want kind of coach has confidence in his bench to keep a 20 pt lead with 4 mins left

 

The bad news is : Denver is playing much better since Brian Shaw had been fired.

The good news is : Nurkic is out and they are playing B2B also tomorrow.

 

Being up 20 and collapsing in 5 minutes is terrible

 

Man, we have got the worst 3rd stringers. What's sad is that these aren't all the same guys we had at the beginning of the year, yet they still can't hold a lead.

 

What the hell happened to DMo? Thank god for #13

 

Footsteps. When TJ was out DMO didn't have to worry about anyone taking his spot. No he hears the footsteps. Plus he is playing the 5 and he is just not strong enough.

 

Overreaction?

 

This team does not have anyone whose a good FT shooter other than Harden.

Maybe Terry is decent.

Bev is not even reliable also.

This will be a problem in playoff, when the other team will get FT while trailing, they may even try to intentionally miss the second one just to foul Dwight/TJ/DMO/Josh/Dorsey whoever will go up for the rebounds.

 

Well that's expected when you put in the end of our bench vs their starters. McHale probably should have just sat Bev and had Brewer out there with Prigs and KJ. The end of this game indicates basically nothing going forward.

 

DMo will do great once Dwight comes back as the backup 5.

Dwight/Tjones to start, DMo/JSmoove to sub. Finish out with best possible matchups.

 

Brewer was one of the reasons rockets were up 20. He gets to rest. Bev was not much of a factor in this game and was stuck on the bench. Him and dmo were bench players today

 

We've never done that before...not even with the starters in. This is one time that McHale absolutely made the right decision. It is unfortunate that a rested 7 ft. nookie came off the bench and still didn't want to play on either end...not rebound,set a pick,defend...you name it.

 

Yeah i never really thought about that. None of our bigs can shoot a FT to save their life. Harden, Ariza, and Terry are pretty good. I think Brewer is okay, but we're a pretty poor FT shooting team.

 

James Harden answers Westbrook edging ahead of him in the MVP race by sprinkling a triple double with a fat 38 points.

DMO can go sit with Beverly in the trash bin... DMO had the reputation of being mentally soft when he was 15-16... Sometimes people don't change.

TJ with another solid boxscore... But he again didn't play as well as his raw numbers.... But at least he blocks shots.

Not sure what people are getting mad about, he pulled his starters with 4 minutes left and nearly a 20 point game...Rockets really miss a playmaker off the bench like Crawford.

Solid win, all of them are at this point of the season.

 

Sloppy game at the end of the fourth. Solid game for Joey and TJ. Awful game for DMo. Please learn to rebound and boxout if you don't want see your bum in the bench once Dwight returns.

 

Let me just leave this for you: a coach is supposed to prepare players, maintain discipline, have sets ready for any situation. It's March and there is still this do whatever you want, Beverley cough, mentality, which reflects bad on a coach and it should!
