ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 5/10/2015 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 4)

PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE LET THERE BE GRACE ON US FANS AND LET MCFAIL BE FIRED.

 

do we really have NBA players in our team.

 

The Rockets better not come back to H-Town and pull this crap on Tuesday. Show some damn pride and not get sent gone fishing on Tuesday.

 

I wonder what Mchale will say about our energy?

 

Heads need to roll this offseason. This is just a poorly constructed team, led by a P.O.S. head coach. Also, way too much focus on "analytics". Too much reliance on the 3-point shot. Too much hero ball. Too much immaturity. No toughness.

Absolutely inexcusable that this team has no heart for two games in a row. That means that McHale is a poor motivator, and that the team lacks a true leader on the court.

All season long, despite their record, I never felt confident that this team was a legit title contender, because of the way they play.

I wish this team played more like the Memphis Grizzlies.

 

need moar!

 

More interested in the bench.

I expected Clips to win the series in 5. I also expected close and competitive games. I did not expect Rockets to be outmatched in every position in every game. No one can tell me the Clips are 20+ points better than the Rockets.

This team lacks leadership from top to bottom. Morey being the top guy needs to understand the game of basketball better. You can't have guys on the roster who can't hit FTs, layups, and consistently miss open 3s when you are preaching a system based on those three facets.

Howard is not a superstar. He doesn't have any offense to be a superstar. He is just a good defensive player, who can occasionally score in the post against smaller guys. Jordan pretty much dominated him this series.

Harden isn't an alpha, just doesn't have that mentality and it showed in the the past three playoffs.

The team lacks 3-point shooters who strike fear in the opposing team.

Morey needs to stop trying to find the so called #3 star and get glue guys and specialists.

 

4 years ago I vowed to stop watching Longhorn basketball until Rick Barnes was no longer the coach. I'm on the verge of doing the same with McHale. These half court offensive sets are an embarrassment to junior high basketball.

 

or "play harder guys"

 

This team has really poor chemistry together. Howard and Harden are not leaders like they should be and everyone plays like they're playing for themselves.

 

KPap so bad.

 

Papa passing like a scrub.

 

Has michael given up on coaching as well? Like coach like team.... He's kicking back killing time

 

Why can't nick Johnson just start showcasing his skills and show the world he's on Eldridge Recasner level?

 

The team doesn't have a PG.

The Rockets were banking on Pat Bev anchoring the backcourt defense and when he went down, Morey stood pat.

Lets go Grizzlies!

 

Because we have an idiot for an owner. Les honestly thought McHale would get stolen out from under us as a free agent coach this offseason had he not been locked up with an extension. Plus he said he wanted him to feel appreciated and didn't like the idea of him coaching the team with his deal set to end after this season(even though he coached under the exact same circumstances last year).

Easily the dumbest move made by the Rockets in a very long time. You'd have to go back to the Rudy era when we were handing out 7 year deals to the likes of Kelvin Cato, Mo Taylor, Moochie Norris, and Matt Maloney to find anything comparable. And we all remember how disastrous that period was for the Rockets.
