ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 12/26/2020

You win. James Harden can't play basketball.

 

Wood was also wide open. Oh well **** happens.

 

Nwaba has got to play the most minute of the role players. He has to.

Christian Wood needs to be featured a lot more.

 

James took a BIG dump on the media with that 47

 

Explain what? Teams go on runs all the time. Harden ended the game with 44 pts 17 asts who cares when the team had a small run when he sat? He sat again and the team offense collapsed how you explain that?

Curry's resume built on being surrounded by multiple all stars at all times? Nah. You want me to explain Rockets going on a run when Harden sits but cant explain why Curry cant shoot straight if he is supposed to be a superstar.

 

it was such a dumb decision, but it was so House

House is the type to leave Seth Curry wide open so he can rotate to Ben Simmons beyond the arc...

 

0-1 start 3 straight years. Pain.

 

Half the team depleted. Overtime lost by two. Guys played hard. We'll get the next one.

 

ROCKETS B LOSING !

 

But House still gonna start with all those guys back

 

I wanted the step back 3 to win it bro. I'm not mad at him for trying to make the right play, but **** he was on ****ing fire to end that game. I was expecting another step back three GSW style when he drilled it over donkey and thompson.

 

Why didn't PJ foul? He had 2 seconds, very odd. That isn't how you a big raise. I like PJ, but he isn't worth what he thinks he is worth. He made the biggest mistake of the game on offense and defense in the final 3 seconds. I'd like to see more of Tate playing the PJ role, better scorer from everywhere on the court except the corner. A lot to be excited about with this game, the game was lost when James sat.

 

Lillard and McCullom went out at that time too

Rocket River

 

I think Tate is more then adequate.

He has some Draymond quality to him.

 

Wall
Harden
Nwaba
Tate
Wood

If they can prove they can hit a corner three, that might be our best starting lineup. House and pj are just not very good. Nwaba was a good pickup and Tate is looking like a miniature Draymond out there.

 

You keep saying SF, I'm not going to budge on the clear fact that he's playing a 4. You think that House is a 4, I don't see him around the paint enough to agree to this.

Fine, he got 7 rebounds, that's not the point. He played small this game. There's literally 2 or 3 other players packing the paint that's his size, we don't need another one jumping up, it's not going to solve the rebounding problem when the other team has a 7 ft'er.

I'm not going to throw shade for trying, but size is important.

 

Seriously the dude is fresh out the club, quarantined, late to TC not in game shape and just dropped 44 4 17 on like 70% EFG%. Lost in OT to a loaded Portland team in Portland with Wood, PJ and a bunch of undrafted dudes.

 

Last play was pain man, Harden couldve had a good look 1v1 for a three to end the game with a W or L, Wood was open, and Tucker prby thought harden was going to shoot it so reason why he wasn't at the corner but harden drove and then it went to hell lol

 

TRY AGAIN TROLL!!!

 

House should never be a starter. He's not that good. He has more bad games than good. He falls asleep on defense so much.

I love Tucker, but if he doesn't offer much on the offense, he shouldn't be playing that many minutes. I know he had to play a lot of minutes tonight because of the situation we're in..... but I meant for the rest of the season.

If Wall, Cousins and Wood can stay healthy, we can be a dangerous team. But, I'm not holding my breath.
