ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 11/19/2014

We're missing our starting center and PF FFS. Go to bed.

 

Rockets look like they were running in mud. Execution was slow and clumsy. Since there was no interior presence, the Lakers were guarding the perimeter aggressively. Very poor execution all around. Something is terribly wrong besides not having enough players. Morey backing up Howard with Black (who I think has potential longterm) and Dorsey was very ill conceived. What was he thinking? Clearly not working and was never going to.

 

Great job Rockets. Spurs win @CLE, meanwhile you lose @Toyota to the Lakers. Did you not remember getting clown stomped @MEM last game?!? Great job!

The GARM is going to be unreadable until Saturday.. Guess it's the Hangout for me for the next few days.

 

Terrible, embarrassing loss.

We are not a very good team without Dwight and Terrence in the lineup. Anytime Joey Dorsey plays minutes, you know you're in trouble. Anytime DMo(!) is your best big, you know you're in trouble. Anytime you're down two with 30 seconds left and the best you can manage is a Tarik Black post up, you know you're in trouble.

Something's wrong with Harden these last two games. Very apathetic and seems to not care, it took him two quarters to even look at the rim tonight.

McHale sucks but we knew that. We are just not deep enough to sustain injuries to our starters. Disappointed that Dwight didn't go tonight, but whatever. Just gotta get healthy.

 

Yes, they'll learn and watch film and they'll take it out on the Lakers.

Signed,

Jason Terry after the Grizzlies game!

 

If we're healthy Tarik Black is good enough for like 8 min a game.

The problem is DMo. He's straight up awful and has gotten worse every year. Morey needs to get rid of him and get an adequate backup PF.

 

Eh im usually one of the last ones to overreact to a loss like this early in the season. But something about Dwight being a suprise inactive 5 minutes before the game and not even showing up to support the team really pisses me off, I never thought the "Soft" comments on Dwight were warranted but after missing the warriors game and now this one Im really questioning that now.

 

Bynum admitted that he don't like basketball lol..

Jermaine O'neal would be the best player on that list.

 

On the bright side, we finally got a pretty efficient game out of Harden.

 

At the rate Rockers are playing the last 4 games, we would have gotten better effort from the RGV Vipers.

Unless something major gives (change of coach, getting rid of Dorsey/Black for better back-ups, playing the right people), I'm not even sure we can make the playoffs.

 

I disagree. I heard the question and I know the whole story. Are you not aware of all the smack Kobe has been talking ever since Howard left LA? He never misses a chance to belittle Howard any time he can. Read between the lines.

 

It's not like we're the only playoff team with crappy depth. Portland and Dallas (and we can already see with OKC) would all be in trouble if they lost a couple of starters. Right now we're just unlucky to not have these players.

 

Dwight living up to his name.

 

The truth is, this is just an average team without Dwight and on top of that having no TJones hurts even more. Yeah this team probably shouldn't lose to the Lakers, but we need to get healthy.

And Dwight I love you, but you kind of got to man up. First the flu and now this. I mean it's not like we're talking about some serious stuff here. The Western conference is just so tough, literally every game is important.

 

Yup, I agree. We would most likely be 11-1 if fully healthy.

 

ya "the flu" which was magically gone in time for his Movie Premiere the very next night.

 

Typical. Get ranked #1...play like #30.

 

Who cares. Stop with the analyzing like you know what's going on. Players always talk trash to each other. That interview was irrelevant. Next

 

Fck This, Next Time someone disses a Rocket player, Im throwing hands. U disrespecting my team, My Fav Player Saying he soft, I aint have time these last few days but....

TODAY I GOT TIME CUZZ!!!!!!!!
