ClutchFans Game Thread: Raptors @ Rockets 11/23/2016

That's what happens when you shoot 900 three and miss and turn the ball over 11 times in the 1st half

 

Not really. His turnovers are beyond disgraceful, it's time he starts getting held accountable for his shortcomings around here

 

Harden is good for 10 of these games a year. He just doesn't feel like playing

 

3s not falling, terrible turnovers, terrible refs, and Raptors packing the paint

Lucky this isn't a 30 point blowout. I foresee a much better second half chin up guys

 

im the biggest harden fan you'll see, but harden is playing like ****, and he played like **** againist okc too when he usually dominates them. its like he is throwing these games

 

Did they to Kona grill for lunch?

 

Like last year he's not in shape

 

It's no secret to what's going on here folks. The Rockets had the 2nd Best 5 man team on the floor in the league when they started Harden, Gordon, Ariza, Anderson and Capela. They consistently got off to 30 plus quarters in the first and led teams. MDA just doesn't know how to start his best team, and then manage the minutes to stagger Gordon with Harden after that.

I love having Bev back, but he makes Harden have to work harder in the first quarter because the floor isn't as open and teams don't have to play him as close as Gordon because he has a slow and reluctant 3 point shot unless he is completely wide open. And then once he starts to take his man off the dribble, they all know he isn't going to try to finish, but try to pass. Bev is a backup and Gordon needs to start.

Maybe Harden is campaigning for it by his lack of aggressiveness the last 3 games.

 

Harden has really let us down tonight. I don't know what the hell his problem is but this isn't the Harden we saw over the first 10 games. I actually thought this was the season he fully matured and gave consistent effort every game but this is just indefensible. Embarrassing, lackadaisical and disgraceful.

The offense is a joke too, it's no different to what we've been running for the last four years. Pick and roll, pick and roll, pick and roll, pick and roll, pick and roll.

Harden = turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover. IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL. His turnovers are so easily prevented. For someone who is supposed to possess 'genius basketball IQ' he seems to be a dumbass when it comes to taking care of the ball. Do these clowns not watch film? He does the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Turnover turnover turnover turnover.

****ing disgraceful. Stop trying to do the bounce pass through heavy traffic, don't pick up your dribble in the paint. Stop telegraphing your dishes out of the drive. If the pass isn't there = SHOOT THE BALL. You are a scorer first. I am seething with rage, just ****ing woeful.

Stupidest part is toronto have been trash, derozan has been awful. We should be blowing these clowns out.

Anderson is beyond awful right now too. He wouldn't be able to hit the side of a barn

 

I'm not buying that. He's just lazy and doesn't feel like playing certain nights. You can see it in his game.

 

Wise decision to sell my tix today.

 

I think harden gets in his own head easily. Especially with him trying so hard to get these assist numbers

 

Derozan and Harden bet against each other as to who could have the shittier game and have their team still win.

 

Capela is playing well. Big Val is just a tough cover for him without help defense.

 

stupid nba cut off my youtube feed

 

How is someone who is averaging 28.6 points and 12.4 assists a game on 46%/37%/81% shooting, single-handedly leading his team to a 9-5 record, a leading candidate for MVP, second in RPM and third in PER "not in shape"??

 

Well hopefully they win Friday at least. This ones not their night.

 

He needs to find his legs

 

Then hes drunk?
