ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 1/14/2020

No person in their right mind would believe Russ is choosing to sit out. Smfh

 

If I were James, I'd be fed up. And, he won't say it, nor will Brodie, but they know help is necessary. Stability.

What other player has to go out and score 40+ and still worry about losing every game?

Patience is what i'm told, but James needs help. Help isn't cheap. Hi, Tilly.

The only good part of this game (other than James ) was EGo. He's slowly returning to form.

/vent (Frustrated for James)

 

lol! This dude had a +41 last game and he gets yanked for Tyson then Tyson gets yanked for the under 6'3 club. MDA does not like Hartenstein.. Since I don't care anymore, I'm fine with it.

 

You mean the two teams that teams like the rockets will probably lose to in the playoffs?

 

The grizz are not trash though.

 

There is no excuse not to try Hartenstein at Forward.

He can't be any worse than what we got.

 

We literally get more production from the towel-boy than we do from our forwards... absolutely pathetic

 

I hope you do.

And can’t wait to see.

 

So we gonna run Harden to the last second? Grizz are good. Ja wanted James every 1on1 possession. EG was great. House is looks so lost and Harden trying to call his number. I feel like we're under-utilizing him. I'm not sure if he was the one who they were saying was Tucker's second-coming... but man he's slipped since he increased his arm workouts... MDA is out of touch. Grizz's gameplan to run Harden 94 ft every possession and have JJJ just wait to block his floaters exposes this team's philosophy, especially in the 4th. Harden needs to go to the midrange in those situations. Doesn't feel like the 1st time this Brooks guy pops off on us.

 

When we got Russ for CP3, I was thinking this is a good trade because even though Russ is a horrible shooter, at least he'll be playing more than CP3 and Harden will get some rest...

Well, now the same **** is happening except we have less depth than the teams with CP3 injured.

 

We lost because Harden didnt play well that kid Carter did a really good job on him, simple as that. Melton, Carter....and whoever, I cant wait to see theses little punks in Houston, I hope we tear them a new one.

 

Grizzlies are the 8 seed in the Western Conference

 

He was clearly forcing a lot of shots. But that's because nobody else was stepping up. He tends to do that a lot if he feels we're losing momentum and we're on our way to losing.

But yeah, this just confirms to me we are definitely one of the worst teams in this conference. We can't win consistent games, and we are losing a lot to scrub teams this year. If we do wins games, it's mostly down to Harden carrying and shooting well.

I have no clue why MDA is still our coach. He hasn't got a clue what to do when the pressure is on him during the games. He never seems to stop the momentum from the other teams.

 

What other player had the free reign to dribble between the legs on one spot of the floor while 4 other guys just stand there for 70% of their team possessions?

Harden welcomed and embraced this shitty system where our offense is so damn predictable.

 

James is to blame as well. His shot taking and defense has been awful lately.

 

love to see it, more House hating posts! He Sucks!!!

 

The team is not deep enough to afford to sit Westbrook this much. You have a total zero offensively starting at PF and players like Harty, Clemons, etc. can't get time because the coach is a stubborn ass. Not ideal.

 

Losing to the Memphis Grizzlies does not predict at all who the Rockets will lose to.

 

You can always rewatch how Bill O’Brien leading the Chiefs in the playoff to come from behind of a 24 points deficit to cheer yourself up.

 

Tucker is an absolute liability on offense. I've noticed he is making more mistakes recently and it gets in his head. It's a bad cycle. He is not built for the role he is having to play.
