ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 2/28/2021

Holy Canoli! What happened? They beat us by a 50 burger??? Wow.

Wall needs to take those sunglasses off - unless he has an eye condition that sht is corny AF. Judging by his play he's giving up on the season himself you cant curse and play the role after that type of performance my guy. SMH.

Waste of time playing the old guys. Patton is being held back. KPJ is going to be held back. Martin Jr., Lamb etc.. etc...

I'd rather lose with the young guys.

 

exactly it was kind of hidden by the number of shots Harden took and WB / CP3 took.

but now you asking someone like House to shoot even more

Gordon doesn’t give even care how far back he shoots from now, it’s like F it

 

Nonsense. He is the point guard and it’s job to create easier shots. His playmaking is trash. He dosent look for anyone first. He dosent look to create for anyone. He likes to play ISO ball

 

You're crazy. I'll take CP and the 2 picks we used to get Russ all day every day over both.

 

2005 game 7 was the worst game in franchise history. 2016 game 6 and 2018 game 7 are also on the short list. But yeah this is definitely top 10. Was an honor to watch.

 

Except that wasn’t what I was comparing.

 

Difference is John Wall can't and shouldn't be trying to take over a game. Harden could do it cuz he's the best ISO player in nba history. He could make scrubs look serviceable cuz all they had to do was play defense. Now everyone sees Harden true value.

Too bad most people were trashing him and dissing his style of play. Now you know why jt was out of necessity. Our team and role players have always been subpar and it was all masked by one of the greatest offensive players in NBA history. Everyone out here trying to run him out of town and pissed at him for quitting but realistically what star would waste their prime with this roster...

 

Harden couldn’t win with this squad - only diff is Harden would be getting 30-40 and others would take less shots ( the end result of losses would be the same)

No Wood
No Dipo
and a bunch of scrubs shooting under 20% from 3

yet John Wall (not saying he’s even close to Harden) is being trashed because he can’t carry these scrubs.

AD went out and Lakers lost 4 in a row (with a squad that is still head over heels better than ours)

 

And so he creating wide open 3pt shots and they are missing them - is it the PG or the Shooters fault?

“In the 10-game losing streak, they have taken 40.5 wide-open or open 3s per game, making just 30.1 percent.”.

 

What are you watching dude? Wall is playing for himself.

 

Harden would get this team to the playoffs in his sleep but a ring? I doubt a prime Jordan could carry this team to a title.. however 11 straight losses on Johnny wall the self proclaimed franchise player is unacceptable

 

Harden couldn’t save this team. But enjoy that fantasy

 

Depends on what you define as winning. He could easily make the playoffs with this squad.

He dragged the corpses of Rivers, Faried, Ennis, House, Nunnally, Tucker from the 14 seed to the 2 seed in the greatest stretch of basketball I've seen from an individual. This team is better than those guys.

 

So if Wall passed it to Tucker under basket , and Tucker misses layup you blaming Wall? Got it.

Wall doesn’t really start taking a lot of shot so til we are down 8-10 points because obviously House , Tucker and Gordon are missing shots

Wall has also cooled down from 3 - but if we were shooting better he wouldn’t be trying to do too much

 

Lol harden has taken a team of papa nikola, Nick Johnson, Tarik black as his starters to the second seed in the west bro. It’s no fantasy. Remember when Paul got injured and he went on the unguardable tour when the Rockets were piling on wins ?

 

Dude he himself said in his press conference it’s my fault but you are here defending him? Stop. It dosent matter if it’s harden, Lebron or Jordan, 11 straight losses is unacceptable

 

When Rockets were number 2 seed - the team was Harden Dwight Bev Ariza Brewer Terry Smith

now if you talking about his hot stretch - yea that was great .. but that squad is still better than what we put on the the floor currently

 

What do you want Wall to say? Yeah man I’m making the right passes but these guys can’t throw a rock in the ocean. You want him to throw teammates under the bus? Ofcourse he going to say it’s his fault

 

Right passes? You need to start watching some of these games. Anyway no point arguing over this
