ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pistons 1/31/2015

It is indeed. I hope he will be back to his best once he feels fully fit.

 

Oh forgot to mention Dorsey, whose our starting center, while only played for 13 minutes, also grabbed ONE defensive rebound and tied with Dmo.

 

McHale isn't as smart as Popovich.

 

I like Isiah Canaan but if he gives us another 0-6 performance we need to bring up Nick Johnson. At least Nick will play some defense.

 

We need a Gogi to distribute the ball and another inside scorer to compliment DMO.

 

I love Pat, but he got humiliated tonight. DJ Augustine? Really? I mean, Brandon Jennings? I can live with that. But DJ Augustine?

 

A trade is needed bad to replace our PGs.

 

Keep on hearing that the refs respond to complaints about Harden getting calls, does anyone at the rockets compile all the no calls and send them to the league with a big WTF?! Seems like we just roll over and take it

 

I thought we were going to comeback and win this game. But the damn refs refused to call the fouls in the 4th quarter. McHale had a good reason to be upset with the referees.

 

Dude he had 26 pts, 7 rebs, 9 asts, 2 stls, 1 blk on 59% shooting. The only thing that was missing from his stat sheet were free throw attempts. The league has obviously made it mandate for refs to give him less calls if he's fouled or not. He had like 1 or 2 free throw attempts against the Mavs and hardly got anything against the Celtics too.

 

Well Dwight isn't here to play and that's becoming the phrase that goes with Dwight... not playing. He needs to do what it takes to win the ring and where he is right now isn't getting the job done.

 

did anyone notice we basically lost 3-4 baskets because KCP solely prevented our fastbreaks. was pretty funny lol

 

HATE how NBALP gives you the choice of announcers but they cut the postgame after barely a minute every time ( Calvin & Kevin).

 

It stings even more when we let dudes like Anthony Toliver, Caldwell-Pope, Augustine, Singler shred us. The defense without Dwight is an absolute mess.

 

What's not funny is how careless a lot of our players play on so many possessions. If playoffs start and they lose games because of this bs then we will all point back to these games where they were careless. The coaching staff and the playoffs need to hurry up mature and grow the F up. It takes discipline and focus to succeed further not bs carelessness.

 

Another ball handler needed....Harden is only one man and right now he is our pg and sg....

 

Now he's getting it ... he should have complained in the past games also. It's getting to be a bad habit of refs.

We should learn to embellish the contact like shouting like we've been shot. We should also keep complaining to the refs at the foul disparity.

 

Need for the rest to step up on D like the team did before when Dwight was out earlier in season. But once again the theme is the team has not really had good practices because of the tough January schedule did not allow for it. The team will get 2 good days of practice Monday and Tuesday before the next game against the Bulls on Wednesday.

 

Yes sir...I agree with that statement TOTALLY. I catch some grief but there is nothing I see about him that screams that he is on a mission to win a ring...there just isn't. I've got a hunch that Harden has played with as much and probably more pain than dh12. JMO. Don't see the drive...would LOVE to be wrong though. There are people with heart bypass surgery that recover more quickly than dh12.

 

yep. Coach should just take the fine and call the refs out in the postgame interview. **** he just got paid!
