ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 3/6/2016

Harden in recent 10 games:

37+5+5
34+11+9
27+10+7
42+5+4
46+5+8
27+4+2
26+6+9
39+12+7
36+5+8
40+5+14

 

Can we please now start a string of winning games? Memphis, Dallas, and Blazers will start sliding and we can reach them.

 

He doesn't shoot 30+ foot threes.......oh wait.

 

Frustrated. Absolutely frustrated.

 

I'm not sure how the Rockets won this game.. Rockets almost never win in Toronto.

I love Dwight, but when he went out, I was confident Rockets would still compete. Capela was great. I'm starting to believe the people that say Rockets are better defensively without Dwight.

 

king clint was massive down the stretch.

 

That's the problem. The Rockets would have a good win but then lose the next game.

 

This year's Rockets play as if they are the reigning champs in that, they play like crap in first half then try to turn it on in the 2nd half.

 

I really want to go back to
Howard and capella starting lineup or maybe making howard come off the bench

 

I heard Harden was partial to married chicks too.

That's a joke about Khloe Kardashian... get it? she's still married..

 

Moving forward I hope the Rockets stop featuring Howard in the post when he plays with the second unit. It slows the pace down and most of the players coming off the bench are terrible offensively in the half-court.

The occasional post up for Dwight is fine, but going to it 3-4 consecutive times leads to too many empty possessions. Opposing teams keeps going on 8-10 point runs when they start force feeding Howard shots in the post. He's so much better being used on the move, off PnR plays.

 

My theory:

James Harden's back finally recovered during the All-Star break from carrying the Rockets last season to the WCF and now he is ready to do it again!

 

merughaaarghhhhh harden is the leader of rockets AAAAKKKKSSSSEEEEETTTBAAAAALLLLL muraghrrhhghaarghhhh so many missed threes arrrrghhhahahhahaaarmgmmmaaargh i think i've gone full r****d

 

What a comeback. Very fun 4th quarter.

 

One TO to go along with 40 pts, 14 assists, and 5 rebounds

 

Standard Robin numbers

 

Inexcusable that Harden doesn't have a 14/1 assist to turnover ratio on a consistent basis.

 

Will never be a true #1 option!

 

Great win tonight!!! Props to Ariza, Harden and Brew!!!

 

Best win this season, by far.... 2nb2b on the road vs a very good team at full health. NIICEE

Most every Rocket who played, played well. Big contributions across the board.

We haven't won in Toronto more than 1x in the decade.

Great win!!


DMO looks passive. Maybe he's just knocking off rust, but he needs to shoot more... 3's and postups.

Harden continues his great play, NIICE. Dwight playing well too.

Hopefully we're revving for the playoffs. We can give anyone trouble if H&H play well.
