ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 11/13/2015

Where's the Mavericks thread for tonight?

I want to post that I hope we lose tonight to force some kind of action from the front office. Sometimes you gotta take a step back in order to move forward.

 

However, knowing us - we'll win tonight as well as a few wins. The problems that we're experiencing now will then just get covered only to emerge when it counts the most.

 

I just want to win tonight; I absolutely hate the mavs

 

Really hate that this sounds entirely plausible

 

Houston's sports has been downhill ever since Game 4, top of the 8th, vs the Royals.

 

4th game in 5 nights for the Mavs. If they rest Matthews or Dwill it should be an easy game if the Rockets show up to ready to play. But w/ Rockets you never know.

 

The headline 'Rockets drop game to Nuggets with poor shooting to blame' has me thinking. Was it really? Why does nobody in Houston media rip into McHale, Harden and this team's offense and defense.

I always love it when the players talk about defensive effort lacking. It's basically them admitting they haven't cared much.

 

What makes matters worse, they've said this after every game and even after wins where we played bad defense, only Ariza admitted it was still ****. Harden thought it was defense that won those games..

 

Curry is making a fool of Harden.

Harden is making a fool of himself.

 

time to bring steve novak in? oh wait even a greater shooter like novak might turn into one of the brick throwers in mchale's system.

 

thats what i am thinking too! he should be given the green light to drink as much as he wants, if that makes his balls grow bigger and play more aggressive instead of hiding in the corners. Look at how tiger woods is doing after he quit the sex parties.

 

Never.. ever.. Hope we lose.

 

It's the defense, simple as that. They were 6th, last season, we are 27th so far this season. Offensively we are not much different than last year.

 

Lawson should be playing wtf?! He'll never get comfortable if you don't play him!
