ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Wizards 12/29/2017

god why couldn't you make me 6-10 so i could shoot under 30% from 3, not rebound, and make $20 million a year.

 

makes no sense with how bad we r playing. Lets see if this team has any resilency any fight back. Because that was a pathetic first half.
only positive is seeing MDA show some kind of fire going crazy on the refs, and hey they changed it from 2 to 3 fts

 

I'm not a fan of our effort tonight, but I'm completely annoyed by James' attitude.

He's over-handling the ball, turning it over with lazy passes, missing defensive assignments and crapping on his teammates for his own errors.

I love James, but we go through this every season for a couple of stretches: James tries to play without energy for 3 quarters, attempts to catch up in the 4th, and when/if we lose, he cannot handle the criticism.

He's in the current mindset of not taking the necessary responsibility for leading the team. The passion isn't where it needs to be. Hell, CP3 tried to bring some energy and couldn't cause a contagious effort.

I'm not a happy fan, much like the majority of you. We're better than this.

 

Kevin Eschenfelter looks like a date rapist

 

We are just lucky that wizards are almost as bad as us.

 

Yeah i called Ryan Anderson trash but i understand the game of basketball enough to know we aren't playing him to get the most out of his strengths skill wise.

 

Which means we will all light it up at the same time...right?!?

 

Get better young players and play them

 

Again they are B2B on the road. Let's be reasonable here. All teams look and play lethargic on B2B. Also they are mentally exhausted from that Celtics game.

Give them a pass for tonight.

 

Ryan Anderson has completely forgotten that he is playing on the road.

 

Great response, necessary even!

 

We're still missing Clint/Luc and Nene. Thats huge and its a fact.

 

Lmao thanks for that laugh i feel a little better now Rockets got me depressed and stressed.

 

Last night was Spurs game 5 OT loss/ Ginoblli block... today is game 6. Look s like a bunch of quit right now.

 

I can't wait to see all the media attention we're going to get

 

"Good" times...

"We're broken," Bickerstaff said. "It's that simple. We're a broken team, and we all need to use this break to figure out how we're going to impact change. If we don't want to impact change, then we need to be made aware of that, too, and we'll go in a different direction.

"We can't continue to go out and play this way. It's easy to see it's a fragmented bunch. You can't win that way."

"If you look at it, the chemistry is not quite where you would like it, and hopefully the break can be what we need to get away from each other," Jason Terry said. "It's like a marriage. You might need time away to get back right. I've seen worse."

"We're obviously not playing at a level we need to be," Morey said. "We will keep battling until we are."​

 

Defense and hit the open 3s. That’s all.

Good to see zhou but it was like the absolute lifeline and he’s playing like a rookie being baptized in fire. This is why you put guys on the floor throughout the season. So they don’t look like deer in headlights when called on. Don’t get me wrong, I think he has all the talent in the world, but, this is not a situation where he can succeed and that’s basically all a coach does.

Well, that and argue with John Wall about super obvious fouls lol...

If y’all ever read comment sections anywhere, people act like Harden just flails about up and down the court. If they called a foul every time he got hacked on the arm driving to the cup, games would be 4 hours long and he’d foul out at least one player a night.

 

Trev has been great
Harden's effort has been ****
CP3 is clearly not 100%
Zhou is going to be a great defensive player
Tucker is playing too many minutes
Ryno is no as effective as a 5
EG has been ok i guess

This team doesn't really have a margin for error. We really need our squad at 100%

 

What does Max Kellerman think?

 

A fact that doesn’t mean a thing when it comes to just showing up
