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

I guess ! This is basketball not a fashion show but if standing around doing nothing is casual then I guess your right ! And yes those Bev 3's kill me every time he shoots them

 

Sounds like a certain former Rockets SG we all know and Tinman loves.

 

Harden's defense was on point most of the game. Only horrendous play was when Batum blew right past him.

But he just not engaged offensively whatsoever.

There was a possession where we forced a turnover. We had 4 on 5, and Harden just chilled in Portland's side while watching them play out until Beverly jacked up a contested 3.

he has had many good games on National TV

no one would give their vote to Curry either after his performance

only difference is the Warriors won

Curry got 9 points

 

TJones is soft ? You sure you aren't talking about Dmo? And you attacked his grunts :grin:

 

damn Portland's upcoming schedule must be tough

 

Harden's defense is still suck, Why?
MVP? oh, Nash is only one MPV who can't play defense

 

Turn on sports center last night they are throwing so much at hoiston

 

My Rockets, you haven't changed at all.

Still is that a first round exit team I always know.

 

For all those STILL dissing Harden.

You guys suck. He had a bad game, move on from it. A regular season game, move on. He sure will. Legends are made in the playoffs, don't like Portland's little confetti and playoff win celebration fool you. It ain't the playoffs yet.

Before we use terms that say he's not a MVP or trying to downplay his greatness this season, remember that the playoffs is what really counts.

 

That's big difference.

 

Espn was disgusting just now.

 

I'm starting to feel like Beverly is a bigger problem than mchale. Dwight will help the front court. Mchale is still a bad coach but the team has gotten better everywhere except pg. I just don't know if you can win a ring with Beverly as your starting pg unless you have three stars. And even then it's be iffy.

 

Or like...the other 60 games or whatever where he's literally saved our season. The Harden criticism is absurd.

 

Then why you giving excuse to the other teams when they miss one their best players?

And you forgot beating a fully healty OKC, beating a fully healty Grizzlies without Howard etc. And btw we got rob against the fully healty Memphis team without Howard the last one.

 

Our 3 biggest weaknesses on display:

1. No playmaker other than Harden
2. Poor defensive rebounding (no size at the back-up center position)
3. Poor 3pt shooting

We failed/were unable to get help in these 3 areas at the trade deadline. I still hope it doesn't lead to a 1st round exit AGAIN.

I should probably add:

4. Poor game-planning/coaching

 

Rebounding 60 - 40.
Free Throw 13/23 - 10 missed free throws.

That's a lost for you boys, GOES to show you how much Dwight is needed.

 

Then gtfo you already know the outcome.

 

they are both soft at times, both don't go hard to the rim as often as they should and they don't fight for rebounds.

I also think that the extra muscle Jones has put on has effected his ability to dribble the ball on drives, he use to be so good at it for a big player
