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

tired of ISO Harden

swing the damn ball, kill some clock and create some spaces for each other. that's BASKETBALL!!!

 

yep, Dwright got in deep several times and the hero keep jacking. I think he and some of his fans share the same tunneled vision.

 

I cant even appreciate James' empty 38pts.

From the start, it was one of his worst defensive games.
This game probably wouldnt have been as close at the half had he not let McLemore and Thorton gets those nice wide open shots.
Chandler was having a lot of trouble containing Gay but at least he put the effort as always, not much else he could do.

James literally does not care how many points he gives up, doesn't even look like it bothers him. He must think as long as he outscores his opponents, its all good. Its so sad to watch.

Im not even mad he choked in the clutch, Im just disappointed of his never ending one-sided effort.

 

Missed free throws. /thread

 

The team has no plays that get high percentage shots. That is the major flaw with the team, when the 3 ball isn't falling and our basic plays are being defended well the coaching staff is unable to get the team to run a play to get the high percentage shot.

This can be ignored when we play teams with less talent than us and we bring effort.

Not sure who to blame because I am not in the time outs or the locker room but my faith in the coaching staff is dwindling with every game.

 

Howard only took 9 shots wtf

 

lmao good one

 

McLemore had 13, Thornton had 15, and they should have had more if the Kings actually tried to get them more shots.

 

In reality Harden is just not clutch how many game winning shots has he made for the Rockets ? Harden is my favorite Rocket and he can be an offensive machine but he is who he is he's no Kobe, Durant or Lebron and for now he plays no defense. 38 points in the NBA is phenomenal and a lot of bad teams would take that from one of their players but Harden continues to go into ISO/Hero ball mode and it's just so frustrating !!!!!!

 

If anyone won them the game it was Cousins.

 

there is no way ,

Harden 26 attempts.
Howard 9 attempts.

dwight should be getting 26 shots

 

Cousins is huge. I was watching the Sac feed and they complemented Lin on how he fought through screens. Lin played solid D in this game.

 

as long as he can keep 20pts a game
the guys sitting in the office is fine.

 

If I were Howard I'd be ****ing mad now. He's beasting in the first half but how much times did he get the ball down the stretch?

 

80% of IT's scoring were over Cousins' moving screens. The refs turned a blind eye to all of them.

 

Harden was awful even though he had 38 points. He made those shots on costing team production!

 

If you add in the free throws Harden and Howard may have had at the most 5 more attempts.

 

Can't agree. He is total liability of defense. Though scored a lot for team, we lost more due to his laziness.

 

You know, Harden played well and scored the ball. But he had a terrible last 4 or so possessions. It started with that ill-advised 3 he took.

 

and missing at will. he missed 11 shots. lin took 10.
