ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 1/19/2019

I also think it's not happening in a vacuum ...

The pressure we have on defense to have to be playing at 100% and scrambling is effecting our shooting .

We need to play a big guy so our defense can focus more on stopping perimeter penetration

 

Dear (insert holy deity here), I haven't been into a game thread in a long while.

Had wondered why.

Now i remember.

Reading through all of the the muck is like reading through ESPN comments before they got the axe.

Be right back. Going to shower.

 

Oh well. How yall liking clark. Was trying to tell u guys he aint ready. Just a flash once n a while. But like i said nit saying he wont be good. But he a year away.


N im ****ing pissed we better get lopez.its said our tallest guy out there is 6 7. Lets just have no one is Clint goes down...no one when cp3 went down...no one if tucker guys down. Like wtf. Creditable back ups to these guys should of been obvious

 

Yep.

But I'm dreading the aftermath of this game. Harden is about to get crucified.

 

Rivers playing like garbage right now. He needs to get aggressive . Plus play better transition defense on ball

 

Gary hasnt made a big impact this game, and there has been games where we have gotten blown out and he's made no contributions. Hartenstein is the same,...like Ive said before i would like them to have more minutes but people in here are gonna start calling for heads when they get a good amount of minutes and they are not producing like people thought.

 

One thing I've taken away from that first half, is how trash Ingram truly is.

 

We need to focus on TEAM REBOUNDING
Especially on Defense

Rocket River

 

I think he'll come back strong in the second half, and get his. The problem, as usual, lies with everyone else.

 

As long as you believe.... Seriously, we might win or lose, but unlike some seasons where it felt like it was over at the half, I still think we can pull this out. And if we don't, I am still optimistic (despite all the issues) for the season. (And, the martini's are helping)

 

I agree with that, but each year is different. This is by far the shittiest squad put around Harden in his prime. I get money is an issue but MCW to start the season behind CP3. Just strange ass ****. Melo? which I still dont get what thats all about and hoping to know once hes gone.

 

Hmmm alright, that's fine. Lets see what happens in the second half, Im almost positive he'll be called back if this continues. I just dont want to see any bile spit towards him when people get disappointed.

 

I am only talking about THIS GAME
nothing else is working . . .absolutely nothing

Rocket River

 

That and he's also not expected to be the Rockets second or third best player either. But without CP3 and Capela, that's the case at the moment.

 

for once I'd agree.

only because he's not there anymore

 

Well, one more half to play, lets see what happens.

 

It just seems like we really don’t have an offense anymore. If we had a system, u would at least see some plays even when players are hurt, I see barely any plays, it’s either harden iso, another player iso, jacked up 3, or a screen by the PF in the corner for a corner 3 by our small forward..no cuts, no movement. U can’t use this iso kick offense ONLY with no shooters

 

LOL. I don't recall you being this upset last year when we had the best record in the West and 1st seed.
OR even recently when we were winning at an 80% clip.
But 2 KEY pieces go down to injury, we struggle and then people call for everyone's heads to roll.
When CP and Clint get back, we'll get back to winning. And winning cures all.
ESPECIALLY whining.

 

You're drunk on Harden's skills Plus if any of these wide open 3's he generates lands, then yea its not over.

 

I hated that cheap dude. I remember him saying 'we'll focus on bringing back the band' but ends up not paying them all sheesh
