ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pacers 3/27/2016

B.J. way of doing things

 

lol...hop right up on the bus...just about all of us are asking the same freakin question

 

If only he was IN SHAPE he could play 48 minutes a night like a REAL STAR

 

harder but I am afraid not hard enough

Dwight has fallen off quite a bit, I am thinking if we can get out 16 and 10 out of him in the playoffs that would be great

 

He better play hard. He wants and needs to get paid the max.

Sadly though, some desperate team will give the guy a max deal regardless if he's only a 14pt/12reb guy.

 

problem with the jb intereim hc excuse is that the same bench players he keeps using were having problems for the whole season. he didnt adapt, as if everyone else is a talentless scrub.
now in the toughest stretch of the season he decides to tinker with the rotation. not smart at all.

 

Dwight's gonna play like **** in the playoffs.

Oh and look at that. Next game is nationally televised. Another embarrassment.

 

revisionist at its best, Lin was very inconsistent while he was in Houston, he was a liability half of the time which was why he got benched for Beverley. They tried as much as they can to stagger his minutes with Harden.

He was standing in the corner doing nothing a lot of games because Harden became de facto pg.

 

Lin always has been inconsistent since the New York days, and IS STILL inconsistent player in Charlotte. Also, he is STILL a bench player. It has nothing to do with Harden, dude. That's just how Lin is.

 

Lebron and Leonard would say this is totally B.S.

 

I put this loss on JB. Horrible rotations. Took KJ out when the Rockets were still on a run. Bad coaching.

 

a lot of PGs will just have to stand in the corner with James Harden lol

(Jeremy being inconsistent - that is true but also old news)

 

Howard is thinking where he will go next season.

His heart is not on basketball.

 

It's still not smart not to give him some rest. We recently lost the game vs Utah for not subbing Harden at the whole 2nd half, in my opinion.

And the Rox do have other offensive weapons. Besides Beasley, Motiejunas is a good offensive talent. Dwight, if you can give him a ball in the middle, he is dangerous. That Goudelock guy, trust me, he can ball offensively. Has had no oportunities given.

And look how Indiana scored some basket in the end. Mahinmi-Solomon Hill connection against our small ball. Sometimes the best offensive weapon is an smart well played offense.

As a coach, you rest James 3-4 minutes in the 4th, try different things offensively (that you previously practiced) and in the end, come back to a fresher James to finish it. And because you have been playing your offense through other guys those minutes, you become more dangerous also at playing for Harden in the end, you're team is less predictable and you force the opposite coach to commit mistakes at chosing lineups.

 

JBB has the worst rotaion. Players don't know whether they will play or how long they will play.

 

kind of my original point, it's a worrying trend that Harden makes primary ball handlers less useful. It makes it hard to build around him and limits our options on offense.

 

It's not worrying at all. This continues to be one of the dumbest narratives clutchfans clings too that just won't die.

 

We have a coach that just rolls the ball out and tells Harden to go do something 9 times out of 10.

Coaching is important. Need a coach with offensive schemes.

 

So what's new strong words of JBB tonight?

 

No. He still plays Brewer again and again no matter how awful Brewer is, and how good other players are.
