ClutchFans Game Thread: Kings @ Rockets 12/31/2020

Yea that's what I want to know? I think Brown got more minutes because he can shoot?

 

Undisputed : Harden is staying will be their lead segment

 

Definitely a good sign that boogie ran off the bench to help him up

 

I like the Kings offense seems like lots of easy shots. Rockets had way too many silly TOs and the defense will get better when there is more cohesion.

Wall looked good about what I expected. A more in control WB with better shooting and defense too.

Cousins looked so slow. Limit his minutes like tonight and hopefully he will get better. The moves and shot are still there just lateral quickness on defense is really lacking.

Gordon, House, Tate and Wood looked very good.

 

a few ??? he shot 8 damn threes! WB never shot like that. his statline looks exactly like WB early last year. yet no threads about trading wall, only praise. wall IS WB. they have the same game he was 2-8 from 3, 5 TOs, and worst net rating on the team, yet its all praise CF but if it was WB its OMG what can we trade him for ?!!

 

That kings team is probably the fastest team in the nba and was living off the break all night. Hard to judge how well the get open looks when they hardly had to play half court for any reasonable streaches.

 

Fat Harden continues to amaze.

 

Because Wall took 2 3s in the 2nd half, 0 3s in clutch time despite being left open.

 

oh so all WB needed to do was shoot the bulk of his threes in the first half and im sure that wouldve made all the difference

 

Dude it's his first game back in 2 seasons. The biggest worry Rocket fans had about Wall was whether his speed and quickness was gone due to his achilles tear. That question I think has been answered. He definitely still has explosiveness. Now he just needs to get his timing back.

 

you should expect that outta him by now

 

It hurts your ego (as a Rockets fan) that James wanted/wants out of Houston but, my goodness, when I watch him I know it is unlikely we will be anything but in a deeper hole if he leaves. And, I can't help it...I LOVE watching him play..I just do. Give me Harden, Wood and 3 mannequins and I'll go to war. He makes watching fun !

 

Got to say that it was great to hear Bill call a road game. Cold blooded!

 

Once we get WD 40 on all the moving parts this will be an offensive powerhouse. I see this game as a step forward with communication being what’s needed to tighten up defensively. Some of you guys are harsh as ####. What matters here is the engagement from Harden and the smile at the end. This is the start of something really good for us.

 

Yeah, it would have made a pretty big difference in close games, definitely.

The last thing you want in a close game with 5 minutes left is for a bad shooter to take bad shots.

 

im just pointing out the hypocrisy... it didnt matter that WB was coming off surgery and missed training camp when came, it was still nothing but hate and being made a scapegoat

 

so we are pretending WB took a bunch of threes in crunch time ? he barely shot any threes period.

 

Yes to all ! But, I do love what Wall brings penetration and speedwise to the basket.

 

Westbrook definitely took 3s in clutch time. Wall didn't tonight. That helped.
