ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 12/29/2013

LOLOLOL

Bring back the Jones' 3-pointer, eh?

 

U could c easily. The lack of planing or ..couching.., the team relay on individual's talent only..

 

Tough loss. Take a few lowlights out of this one to show the players and burn the rest.

Move on.

 

James Harden 2/9
Jeremy Lin 2/9

Yet I see so many people blaming Lin for playing horribly lol, never change clutchfans.

 

They are all trade pieces, Morey will flip them for a draft pick and a veteran player, then flip that for a pepperoni pizza, then flip that for a frozen Chicken McNugget.

 

Interesting and I agree. Still frustrated at both losses to the Mavs, clips and especially the thunder and pacer curb stomping. (Not crazy about jazz, laker and sixers losses). Oh hell, I hate all the lossess

 

We need a real playmaker. Morey knows this as well so that's why he went after Paul and Rondo.

 

Bad loss. Didn't seem like we were really trying.
B2B is no excuse for not having self respect...

 

can Harden play without the ball in his hands

 

this.

none of the starters today, exept parsons scored in double digits and all of them had -18 to -28 on the +-

Casspi scored 6-12 from the filed for 15 points and 6 rebounds and -6.

Brooks scored 6-14 from the filed for 17 points and 2 assists and -1.

yet people still blame it on the bench today.

look at what the starters did today.

 

This. And it was Harden missing two shots early on and giving up two big 3's to Sefalosha to get us into a 9-0 hole right off the bat. Lin may have been sucking it up too but at least he held Jackson scoreless until around 6 minutes left in the first.

Let's call it like it really was you pathetic one sided fake fans that hate on Lin only. We were tired and Harden was trying too hard against his old team. I think had we not played so many games in the last few nights, this would've turned out differently.

 

1. Kudos to AB and Casspi. Especially AB.
2. Other than Chandler, all of the starters were completely useless. Abysmal.
3. Ugly loss. Hard to watch. Further proof (IMO) that we are not close to contending. Not even close.

That's about it.

 

And a big thanks to T. Jones and JLin for sealing my fantasy demise this week. :-/

 

Tonight, Harden couldn't play even WITH the ball in his hands .

But yes, Rondo and CP3 are good. I'd say go for them. Get them both.

 

He freaking has to learn because he or in are not going to elevate this team to a title as the main guys with the ball. Harden with a guy like Rondo would be incredible if he moves off the ball. Rondo can find him in variety of ways which would allow him enough time on the shot clock to make his move instead of allowing teams to collapse on him if he holds it to long.

 

when 4 out 5 starters are in single digits to say the game was the ugliest of the year is a major understatement. I'm sure our team will bounce back next game.

 

Hey guys, we can still finish 70-12. Calm down.

The season is far from over, why are people acting as such? We aren't going to win every game and some games we are going to lay goose eggs across the board. But you know what? It's just one game. There's another one on Tuesday too. The rest of the season, 50 games mind you, is still upon us. We are in a great position considering everything that has happened thus far.

Sure, I would have liked more consistent play from the bench and for Asik to accept his role now and earlier in the season. Yes, I would of like to have some of those losses back especially against the Lakers, Jazz and 76ers and would have liked to have been more competitive against the Pacers and Thunder. But look at where we are in respect to the rest of the league. Just look at the Lakers, Knicks and Net struggling to even resemble a NBA team even with bloated salaries. Or the Bucks, Jazz or Kings who just suck and have sucked for awhile now. Or at our Rockets 2 years ago in NBA hell of being good enough to be above .500 but not good enough to even compete for a playoff spot.

At the end of the day, the Rockets are 20-12, with a record that is great but somewhat disappointing in hindsight of the losses that could have been avoided. We are still in pack of teams competing for a top 4 seed in the tough west. And we are still growing. This team is far from complete. We have guys in major slumps, injured or not playing.

Slowly, it seems like we are coming together; Dwight is finding his place, players are coming back from injury, (hopefully) Asik returns and accepts his role and Garcia, Casspi and Co find their three point shot soon. Come February, this team will be even more dangerous than ever before.

 

As built, this team is a first round exit, thats why.

 

A scheduled team loss.
Glad we won the last 3 out of 4.

Hope the team gets some rest for the next game.
