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

Yeah, It's been ISO Ball Harden's 2nd year and he hasn't changed very much. Seems to have a big ego at times with lackadaisical defense. It may be the "first" year with Howard, but 4th quarter ISO Harden has not changed.

 

Too much Harden one on one ....that's why this team has no flow. It is better off running through Lin but stupid coach don't trust Lin. Every freaking play basically go through Harden. Did you see that every time Lin do pick n roll...it seems like something good happened? He's not doing enough.

 

He shot 6-17. Stop trying to deflect the blame away from Harden. His boneheaded plays in the final minutes lost us the game.

 

I need to see what its like with a new coach

 

GUYS, this is on me. i got sticky with my dr pepper and had to get up to go pee a lot and couldn't focus. Sometimes it's hard to remember that it's just basketball, not like i'm laying bricks, cutting timber or drilling oil like john travolta in urban cowboy. it's on me, the stickyness.

 

Who's blaming Lin??

 

This team needs a real playmaker. In the 3rd harden played as a SG and he looked sepectacular, then we ask him to be a playmaker, bang. It doesn't work. I'll se.ttel for Andre miller at this point.

 

He is simply stupid. Ignore him.

 

really? Lin's 3 % peaked a month earlier when shot a lot, including that 9/15 career high game. His % lowered down after he came back from injury.

 

McHale = no plays just ISO

 

X2 we need George Karl or Lionel Hollins to take this team to the next step. Letting Harden to do all those iso balls is saying the coach has given up coaching and just let his star player do whatever he wants to hopefully win the game for him. Can't see this happening to the Spurs or Indiana. We don't have a MJ or LBJ here on our team. His name is Harden.

 

actually its tmacs fault

 

So wonder what Morey's analytics say about this all 3 and FT offense when the team can't hit either?

 

We must be the worst team in the NBA @ getting our bigs easy shots, seriously all you have to do is throw the ball in the vicinity of the basket and there is a good chance Dwight would finish it.

But nah. step back 3.

 

That's like Knick fans saying Melo dropped 35 shot great in a loss. Sometimes less is more. THose stats are probably why he thought he could do it himself at the end and look at how it worked out.

 

I'll say what I always say. I am always impressed when Harden makes those crazy shots and they go in, but in the 4th when you really need a shot he has to try high % plays. Those insane shots he is so use to shooting needs to stop. They work once in a while but taken as a whole they aren't the ones you want to try when you really need a basket. They will lose you the game more times than not.

 

And since LOFs only blame the coaching staff, gotta criticize Lin for not playing with the same energy he does in the fourth quarter in every quarter of the game

 

Harden was plain bad defensive in the 1st half, did great offensively up until the last few plays. What a terrible lost. Back to FT shooting practices for Parsons and Howard.

 

Really read my last point. Also, if you think Thomas had no effect in the last minutes then god help you.

 

Speigal is a clown. Because Harden scored 38 he should not partake in any of the blame for our loss tonight, even though he was the primary reason we lost.

Dwight probably wants to punch a fire extinguisher right now. The dude was doing awesome in the first half with his post moves, and he literally had 0 touches in the 2nd.
