ClutchFans Game Thread: Hawks @ Rockets 12/20/2014

I really want to make a post about how our offensive has always sucked this season, but I know someone will say I'm just knee jerking.

I made it anyways. Our offensive is ****ty despite having Harden and 'un-trade-able post guru' Donuts. Next season we really need to work on our offensive game plan. I hate that 40 percent of out shots are 3s when we only have like.. 2 guys? shooting over 36 percent. Beverley and Terry I think. Canaan as well, but he gets no play time.

 

it was never the offence that was the problem for the Mavs, it is their defence

 

I wish we called plays for harden to score on the move. Whenever he scores he has to create the opportunity for himself. thats not winning basketball.

 

We dont have any big man who can make the mid distance shot. He would have 8 pts today, at least. It is necessary, say Bass, Jason Smith, whatever.

Nor Dmo nor Jones are able to develope that shot.

 

honestly, i think the team underestimated the hawks.

 

huh??? after that triple OT loss last night, they're resting everybody. I'm surprised they're not resting Pops

 

People are very quick to give lame excuses. The boys are being lazy tonight, you can't always kiss their ass & say this, this, and this needs to happen and then suddenly everything will be fine

 

i wish we had another shot creator outside of james...and i hate that 6 or 7 seconds are wasted each time to post dwight when he's being fronted...

it's useless going for it if he's not there

dude should just set pnr

 

Lol didn't pops sit out a game along with parker,Duncan and ginobli this season or last season?. That **** was hilarious to me.

 

Uhhh, how about giving ATL some credit. They are a good team for a reason. Way too many people were jinxing the hell out of this game with " blow out, easy win, beat down"
Have you seen their lineup and record and who they've beat?"

We're going to win if we step it up, but damn, stop acting like the Hawks are the Bobcats.

 

Well, look at POR overwhelming NOP. Something about that triple OT energized both POR and SAS lol

 

I would give up so effing much for Gogi.

 

Is Rondo already playing?

 

Yep, starting.

 

Call me crazy, but I think I'd trade Howard for Milsap and Horford. Howard goes back to his hometown. Rockets get deeper - and I feel like Harden plays better without Howard.

Howard could be so amazing if he would just accept that, in most cases, he really needs to be utilized like Ben Wallace on steroids. He should be getting garbage points and points off the pick n roll. Dude should should not be posting up unless there is an extremely favorable match up. He just isn't reliable as a post threat. And I don't think he ever will be. He's 29 for crying out loud.

 

How bout a better philosphy? I use to flame the players but it's higher than that. People don't want to believe me, AS long as Morey is here, we are not advancing. I dont care if we have lebron, this team will never succeed. Idiots think stats are everything.

 

running us off the 3 point line and fronting Dwight and DMo - that's a great way to shut down our offense. Put an oversized defender on Harden and we're done.

It's good that we are playing a game like this - this is all we'll see in the playoffs. McHale (and the players too) need to find a way to win when they take away the 3.

And figure out how to defeat someone fronting the post. i mean, c'mon.

 

Howard has been really pissing me off lately. How he constantly demands touches in the post..and it throwing off the rhythm of the whole team trying to please him. He seemed very indifferent to the trade.

 

good point.

We need to work the hell through this
