ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Suns 12/21/2019

Well, Harden played for Arizona State.....a semi state hero.

 

It is also called aging, and athletes grow them a lot faster than non athletes......they also have the faster lifestyle.

 

Lately I have seen a lot more cuts by House, McLemore, Westbrook and even Tucker and Harden. Capela is making some nice passes from top of the key too. Hope we keep that up. Harden unreal again!

 

"Lin would be a saving grace for this team."

that's pretty convincing evidence

 

its so nice to scroll through a thread and read all the positivity......tired of having to scroll through all the haters...like we really want to read all that ****.

 

wish they could play w/ more discipline which allows opponents less points, coz each regular-season game help a bit in forging a champion caliber team.

 

They lock down when they need to.

They did last night when Harden started hitting dagger after dagger.

 

True Story

After the game I was driving by a dark entrance of the arena and nobody was around. I was hoping to see our team come out, and then I saw some players standing by the curb talking. There was Harden and Tucker. I got out of my car and walked up to them telling them how much I loved watching them play. They were so nice and friendly. I gave Tucker a big hug, and it he was so nice, just as I thought he would be. Then I woke up.

 

The look on that little boy's face when Russ handed him his pair of shoes was just priceless. I loved it.

 

I was at the game and Harden and Westbrook took all the air out of the crowd early. They cheered for tshirts and a couple of Oubre dunks, but then they just started oohing and aahing at Harden. The crowd literally let out a disappointed gasps when Harden missed his last 3. They wanted to see him get 50. The rockets were completely lounging on d in th first half and just turned it on when it was winning time.

 

Suns sound bamboozled guarding James and Russ.

 

Bamboozled

 

Who were they missing?

 

Rubio

 

Also Ayton

 

Well I missed the game last night but I’m sure EJ was as salty as ever having to sit there and watch James ISO and bomb threes all night.....glad to see it went so well against a lower team

 

Nice to know that I’m highly competitive with NBA players! That I can out fox even a great player like James Harden, or to put it better, out age a superstar. As for lifestyle? I was pretty fast myself, back in the day, but without the financial wherewithal James obviously has. However, a dollar went a long way in the late ‘60’s. I wouldn’t trade my lifestyle then with his today, but I’d love to have even a tiny fraction of his physical fitness. ;-)

 

He’s not good lol

 

Solid win, it's great to see Westbrook play like this- going forward it was absolutely the right move to swap out Paul for him. The defense is still a huge issue though. Last night they were completely lost on when to switch and went not to. It was a total guessing game. The Suns got a ridiculous amount of mismatches in the first half especially that they were able to easily exploit, usually for points at the rim.

I know they ditched the switch everything scheme which I support with this roster, but they have to be smarter on when they choose to switch. They're already at a size disadvantage as is, if they're constantly allowing the opponent to have mismatches in the post it's just going to make things that much worse. Hopefully they can acquire a PF or big wing and also be smarter with their switches- just relying on their offense to outscore teams isn't going to cut it come playoff time.
