ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 1/15/2014

Question: Would you trade Asik for Eric Gordon right now?

 

Who wouldn't?

 

If Gordon can play the 3.

 

Well actually his contract is a bit alarming, but I'd still do it.

 

What's his contract like?

 

Morey will add a rotation player or two by the deadline, just not at the expense of possibly adding a third star.

 

Not if it limits the Rockets ability to add a third star.

 

Nope. We need a backup C badly.

 

Nawh I would keep asik, he will be way more important in the playoffs vs a backup guard, hopefully we can get a back up 2-3 some other kind of way.

 

Just watching the game as an outsider, you cann't tell who are the pg on court.

 

Asik does not want to play here. Honestly what about Asik makes everyone think he is just going to comeback from fake injury ready to back up Dwight, its not happening.

 

We're playing games every other night and their on the road. I think we're doing pretty well considering that.

 

Prays Golden State loses tonight*

 

What concerns me is that Garcia played 10 min tonight and took no shots. The way he's been shooting this season, that's not a bad thing. But his role is clearly to come in and give us some offense and now if he isn't even doing that, he's just taking a roster spot that could go to someone else (Gee I wish we had James Jones in that spot right now). He needs to do something to get his mojo back or we need to keep him on the bench.

 

Me neither,seriously this dude quit on this team and literally sat Out Games because he is pissed every other organization would Fine or suspend him
If he is still here After the deadline who knows what Kind of BS Asik would pull off

 

Yup, time to move on sign Bynum or some other big and let Asik fake his injury til we find something good for him.

 

Thank you. I've stopped considering him part of the team at this point... a lot of people should stop trying to make fetch happen. Setup for disappointment.

 

As for the game --

Terrence. Effing. Jones.

I can't wait to see the player he is at his peak. SO much upside.

 

Also, Harden is incredibly frustrating. I'm always in awe of his Q4 heroics, but we so frequently need them because of his poor decision-making as the shot clock is running down during the first 3 quarters.

Also, a big -- any of them -- who could shoot FTs would be great.

 

Tough game to watch but glad we got the win!
