ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 1/21/2019

I won't even be able to stomach that game. I'd rather get my tooth drilled with no Novocaine than watch that smug bunch of jerks and their arrogance. Nope, I won't watch it.

 

Problem with that is that(well I guess at that point it didnt matter but whatever) Gary causes bad spacing, no one respects his jumper at all and if they even remotely do, he cant put it on the floor. Tucker at center gives us our best offensive boost...cause we are clearly inept defensively.

 

Im not saying Harden doesnt care about scoring, but if you think he cares about it at the expense of the team, you are completely wrong.

 

There’s a lot of names in here that I don’t usually see..........hmmmmm and from like years ago..... have you guys been trolling the team for years? Just waiting on a bad game to pounce lol.... that’s funny..... sad but still funny tho

 

A double team on Embid would have been nice tonight.

 

Ok. I'll live with a wide open missed shot. At least I know he's putting us in a position to win. When he's forcing things with 2 guys on him. I know we're not gonna win.

 

LOL! and when CP3 comes back we will still have 5 midgets against the bigs, cause that's how MDA rolls.

 

@T-Mac+921

Your Skip Bayless hot take on Harden and his passing/getting others involved is Darwin level award winning stupidity. Again leave, it's best for us all.

 

That's what I am talking about. Throwing the defense away whatsoever, when in fact we are losing on that side. Defensively, Clark, Faried and Nene might be able to hold down a few possessions to give us a chance to sink a few threes. Anyways, it went ugly too quickly to my liking.

 

@tinman @Zboy Please take care of this t-mac fan.

Tracy McGrady fans are the worst.

PS Tracy McGrady is a loser. Neither Tracy nor his fans should tell James Harden how to play basketball.

 

if Harden had that selfish gene that Kobe produced, Harden would probably score 95 points a night.

Harden's greatness just looks selfish compared to his teammates.

 

The truth is i have never seen harden this phased.

 

Well he doesn't really have any comptent bigs outside of Capela. nene is too old, we just got faried (but he's undersized) and harenstein/chriss (garbage/inexperienced)

The roster is really limiting MDA to change up his strat.

 

I'd rather Harden heave a contested 3 over two defenders then see another brick laid by Tucker/Green/Ennis/Rivers, to be quite honest. At least with Harden, you know it has a chance of going in.

 

I do think he cares about it to the detriment of the team. It also helps that he has the excuse of injuries. Just wait till the injured guys come back and Harden struggles adjusting because he still wants sexy numbers.

 

What happened to the days when Morey was able to get great players around Yao and Tracy?

 

What we are seeing out of harden is the same situation that MDA faced when he coached Steve Nash in Phoenix almost 15 years ago.

The only problem with people on this forum is mostly everybody too young to remember the failures of Phoenix suns' small ball with Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, and Amar'e stoudamire. Nash was put up crazy numbers, time after time but his role players fizzed out late in the games, and teams like San antonio would out rebound the suns.

 

Rockets other than Harden tonight: 5 of 29 from 3. What's our season 3-point shooting average, outside of Harden? Anybody know?

 

Oh I remember those days. Although they had much better role players than we do.

 

In fact Harden is just like Kobe. Just doesn't have his tenacity.
