ClutchFans Game Thread: Kings @ Rockets 12/31/2013

how man losses do the rockets have that shouldnt have been losses?

 

something tells me Dwight is going to pretty pissed about not getting any touches.

Calvin preaching the truth!

 

Calvin Murphy just shredded him........ouch

 

Did I say he was faultless or that he isn't the sole reason we lost since he was one of the sole reasons we had a chance in the first place?

Learn to read son.

 

Well... at least nobody's knee popped.

 

Did you see his defensive effort tonight? Doesn't matter how many he gets at one end if he gives up that many on the other end.

 

He made two shots. Stop.

Poor FT shooting lost us the game.

 

Live the the 3. Die by the 3.
(substitue 3 by Harden)

 

So poor coaching basically. Another game thrown away and this will cost us come the playoffs.

 

The contender team for piling up stars' number
And that is

 

everyone over here are over reacting like chill out this is there first season together

 

Harden's defense makes Amare Stoudamire defense look elite.

 

The problems run deep. Beating two bad teams and got exposed against the thunder. No playmaker, harden bad decision making and list goes on. Oh yeah no backup center as well.

 

$$&& u harden $@$$ u Mchale I freakin hate the offense it goes to harden every time if course he's gonna score . I feel really bad for jones, Howard, parsons and lin having to play with an ISO no d superstar

 

He is culpable though. His lack of defense on the first half allowed the Kings to stay in the game. And his last several possessions really did hand the Kings a victory.

 

exactly. melo mode or kobe mode drag the ball out of teammates' hand and put the game all on his shoulder. just check how much post touches Dwright got in the 4th Q, it's just unacceptable. the guy must play in control and reduce clutch TOs, a short leash is a good fit. however we need to donate a pair of new balls to Mchale first.

 

WE had not had a No 5 Pick for a long time. Talent is always great to add

 

Really? wow.

 

One last thing and I'm done...

Why the hell can we not make a damn entry pass? I hope Dwight destroys the locker room. I don't care about bad press or being a good teammate. Harden, Lin, and Parsons need to learn how to give that man the damn ball when he has somebody on his back and pinned.

 

And when Harden goes 2/10 against OKC, we still won't be in this game too.
A good team like the Spurs can play well even when 1,2, or even 3 of their best players are out. They may not beat the best teams but with their ball movement and defense they are able to survive lower teams with just team ball.
This game was all ISO Harden and it's very easy to beat ISO Harden by just having the best defender(s) on him.
