ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 3/11/2015

Exactly, he looked perfectly fine watching the game slip away right before his eyes. I know his shot wasn't falling but he just looked disengaged and a bit apathetic.

 

Doesn't matter who we lose to. Someone always finds a thing to b**** about.

 

My facts may be wrong because I'm tired and don't have the energy to look up each of the games to back up my memory, but it seems most of the Rockets wins against top teams are when the other team is depleted. One of the wins against the Spurs Pop rested his starters, win against the Grizzlies ZBo was out, win against the Blazers Aldridge was out, win against the Cavs Irving was out, win against the Clips Griffin was out, and winless against the Warriors and Pelicans. I realize the Rockets are playing shorthanded as well with Dwight out, but our record against the elite teams doesn't give me a lot of confidence for success in the playoffs.

 

In all fairness King you attacked TJones all night

 

No one is hating on Harden. Harden is just that good when he isn't doing anything you wonder why? All Batum did was stay close to Harden's body. Harden didn't even try to push him off to get the ball. He didn't even step toward the ball in the 2nd half. He didn't try to work off the ball either.. he just stood there.

If he doesn't want to impact the game offensively that fine, but he didn't even try defensively either.

 

Two weeks till DH12! FTs and Rebounds will continue to haunt the team and it does not get any easier tomorrow and on Sunday.

 

Rockets lost 60-40 rebounding

Surprised we won the turnovers 11-19, but crap FTs and huge rebound discrepancy was our downfall.



On the brightside... Spurs will likely surpass LAC to grab the #5 seed. If we remain at 4, we'll play SA in the First Round.

Just being positive

 

Called being tired. Would help if we had another consistent creator.

 

He just did nothing on the court except stand watching.

Come on, you are MVP candidate.

This game is on national televsion!

Nobody want to give their vote to a player like this.

 

This:

 

seriously why havent the Rockets hired Calvin to help with FTs???

hell he'd probably do it for free lol

 

Beverly and d-more were bad and Harden had an off night.

 

I'm at a loss for how we prepare for games like this. Game plan: Stotts 1 - McHale 0

 

that is just the way he looks, he is very casual

i think we lose games because we are soft inside and Beverley misses open threes that are set up by Harden most of the time

 

Why is it that Harden shrinks against Portland - especially on the road. On 3 days rest this was disgraceful.

DMO and Patman are trash.

Ariza and TJ did ok

Corey Brewer went nuts out there. He was unstoppable and just couldn't hit that last shot.

The best part of the game was Corey Brewer and the next best thing was Josh Smith's nasty ass dunk.

We could not rebound for **** nor hit FTs.

 

Does it get old? Saying out coached after nearly every game.

 

We need a healthy Howard back period. These games we loose by a handful of points is annoying. The Grizzlies,Portland for example we grab a few more rebounds and it's a different game. We just need Dwight to protect paint which is seriously lacking when it matters in the 4th period. Comes back and bites the rockets. Also, Brewer went off! We might've found someone to rely on come playoff time even more so.

 

i attacked his effort and how soft he is, he shows he can be aggressive but he doesn't show it often enough. Also he misses so many easy at the rim shots

 

Its really disappointing to see Harden give up. And us not making adjustments. Like not rebounding, missing FTs, chucking 3s with 20secs left on shotclock, the unforced turnovers, and missed point blank layups. Make me wonder what the rockets actually do in practice. They need to man up. Just my 2¢

 

Why do so many people care when other people vent frustrations. Just ignore the post and move on if you disagree. You don't get any awards for this ****.
