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

really?

 

The team does not play with the same intensity or urgency for the entire game I think

 

Where?

 

source? Interview?

 

I agree but my history beyond the 80's is not good and didn't want to disrespect anyone.

 

Also, seriously....Sac had 6 players playing of the bench to Rockets 3? How can you do anything if your bench consistently gives you < 20 points a game? Houston is becoming the Portland of last year.......great when core is on the floor but crap when off and that eventually catches up to you. Also, no need for a timeout if the game plan is the same....through it to Harden to win the game.

 

Morey losing the plot too?

He's losing cred with his handling of the Asik trade (self-imposed deadline auction crap) and now this comment.

What a joker!

 

Really

 

The refs are just not calling it for him, IT gave Lin an elbow to the jaw and they called a foul on LIN!?!

 

The heatcheck 3 Harden pulled with 1:40 left and 8 on the shot clock and we were up by 6 (?) was inexcusable. Oh Harden..

 

All three of AB, Casspi and Garcia played poorly tonight. Moving Lin to the bench may increase bench scoring, but the effect wouldn't be that great because Bev doesn't score high consistently as a starter.

 

Now Rockets are Portland of last year. And Portland is where the Rockets should be this year?

Damn genius.

 

LOL, you guys are too hard on Harden. That's what Superstar does. He win games for us or lose games for us. But in most nights, he will win us games. That's what matter.

 

OT: some good news!

Haha...can't wait for the "sticky ball" comment by McHale......classic.

 

Ok fair enough. I'm not going to argue any of the points you brought up, simply because I agree with all of it. The most important point of concern for me is that if Harden thinks he can do whatever he wants without accountability, that's a huge troubling sign for the team.

 

Parsons said "someone" playing selfish in the team. Lin defends Harden last min TO tho.

 

McHale is awful at coaching. All he does it give the ball to Harden...that ain't no coaching...any coach can do that...nothing special. He needs to mix it up and let other teammates involve instead of going to Harden all the time. Tell Harden to trust Lin more...geez...no wonder Garcia and those guys are missing shots...they're just running up and down watching Harden iso. And then you complain why they're losing? This is a team game, and if the team don't play well (that include every member of the team), then you got very little chance. Basically, McFAIL fail to do anything special to help this team get better. This team need a coach like Popovich to yell at player for not moving the ball.

 

Don't forget earlier in the 4th when he dribbled down the clock a few times before passing to his teammates andforci ng them to jack up a desperation 3. And also that bad last second fadeaway he bricked that was slammed back in by T-Jones. Harden was awful in the 4th quarter.

 

Doh! Sorry to hear that Chandler... guess you're headed for the trade block.

And Jeremy really is into that whole turn the other cheek thing... seriously nice dude.
