Can't believe I'm say in, but Harden has lost confidence in his game. It's easy as day to see. He getting striped like no tomorrow, he not making his normal shots, not even trying to work the ISO. This is like Harden in game 5 all over again, lucky this is a LONG season ahead of us.. Just need to get it going now.
Maybe Lawson is better player when he is drunk/tipsy. He and the Rockets sure make me want to drink a crap ton.
The players are talented. Its the coaching and putting them in familiar position to be successful and that hasn't happened this season. Could be injuries. Lack of training camp. It is what it is folks 0-3!!!
If they continue to play like this, it will be one of the most disappointing seasons in NBA history. McHale has to be fired in that situation. Not sure what happened with the team to lose that lead the way they did. Not sure why we stuck with that small ball lineup for sooooo long and why Capela didn't play. McHale has this tendency to always go small when we get desperate, it makes little sense especially with what Whiteside was doing.
Wow, even with a 19 point advantage after 1st half, we can still get blown away by 20 points in the end. SMH
Pathetic. Simply Pathetic... Clint Capela has 10p 5r 1b in 14 mins on 5/5 shooting, is our only guy close to 7'...but McHale sits him????????? Ty Lawson is playing like he's drunk, 4-4-4 in 37 minutes??? James Harden, who does have a shoulder injury that is being hushed, continues to jack up contested 3 after Contested 3??? He couldn't hit a stripper with a dollar bill at the moment... This might be another 'protest' game by McHale, who is calling for some size & doesn't want Howard sitting out games, especially when TJ is also out. But come on...those roster rotations were pathetic.
Rockets suck im now very concerned.... No reason to be this bad. Fingers are about to start getting pointed and that's not a good sign for mchale or the team. A few More games like this and it's going to be really hard to finish better than 6th seed.
Yup, he lost his game to a washed up Lamar Odom whose exwife rather go back to a man who just slept with a bunch of hookers and OD's on drugs instead of Harden. If that doesn't break your confidence, I don't know what will.
McHale "Nothing to do with James. It's to do with the team. Us playing well on D when shots don't go. We have got to move the ball, attack. We just dried up and they went at it. They had all the juice in the 2nd half. We got to get better as a team. We are not where we need to be in many areas. I thought Montrez and Clint did some good stuff. Right now we might be short handed. It's not that. It's our alck of movement, our lack of cohesiveness on both ends of the ball. We got tentative. They played lot better in the 2nd half. They had more energy than we had. They made some 3's. Look we couldn't sustain what we had. We have not played well all pre season or first 3 games
Bottom line: The buck stops with McHale. Offense not working. My God, don't sit there watching Harden bricking 3s. Shuffle the players until you get the right combination. While I love Chuck, what was he doing out there in the 4th? He was just signed. Minutes should have gone to Capela or Harrell.
It's not James. It has to do with our team. We're 0-3. It's us playing better on D when our shots don't go. We didn't sustain our offense. When we don't have a stretch 4, we gotta move the ball and attack. We scored 27 in the 2nd half after 60 in the first half. We dried up. 2 completely different halves. We gotta get better as a team. We're not where we need to be in many areas. That's where we're at. Montrezl, Clint did some good stuff. They gotta learn on the fly. Looks like we may be short handed. It's our lack of movement, cohesiveness on both sides. Cutting and movement dried up in the 2nd half. We became tentative. They had more energy than we did. We couldn't sustain what we had going. We have not played well at all, preseason or first 3 games.
No. With no change there will be no change in results. Do you want to see 20 more 20 point losses? I mean we can make history. Change has to happen today. Even if we beat a team by our offence with such crap defence we are going nowhere. And we won't be able to beat any good team in the West. Maybe we can beat most of the East and Minny.
Yall trippin it's just preseason!!! Oh yeah let's ignore all the negative trolls who are pointing out clear basketball related issue with this team. It takes hard work and pure dedication to team basketball to win the championship. The Rockets think they are rock stars already... reality check!!!!
