ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 11/13/2013

1) Harden ISO
2) Dwight Post-up
3) Parsons offbalance fadeaway

 

Funny coming from a Harden fan. Happens to Harden all the time.

 

It's not solely on Parsons though the 2 missed FTs were really crucial. Jlin was also responsible for his 4Q TOs and defense on Anderson.

 

We lost the game because our bench sucks! Casspi and Garcia was suppose to come in and at least maintain a lead... but they didn't so mchale had to put in the starters... then again I think we should have let Dmo play today see what he can do... Casspi and Garcia has not have a decent game since the start of the season... whats wrong with them? they have lost their Js...

 

What happened to our Twin towers experiment?? Like WTF?? I thought that was in Mchail's playbook?

 

Does anyone find that the playbook of our team in the last seconds is so simple and poor? Usually we just have:

1. 1vs1 hero showtime (most of the time it is Harden ISO play)
2. 3pts or long range 2pts shoot with no space and bad opportunity

Can anyone tell me if we have made that ball into the basket in the final seconds since Harden made against Spurs last season?

Even 2K14 has a lot of choices in the playbook. I don't know if McFail has any time to learn a bit more about this?

 

Agreed, it is McHale's fault the Rockets miss half their free throws in the 4th quarter. It is his fault that Harden, Parsons, Lin and Beverley cannot communicate or defend on the perimeter. It is McHale's fault that the Rockets are missing wide open 3's and it is his fault Harden is hurt.

This is on the players.

 

there a few sooks on here who go nuts after every loss, trade him, trade him, trade him,lets blame the coach............................................so you lose games, you can't win them all and this team won't be judged on it's season until the end of it, not in the first few weeks of it

 

Anyways, what were we going to do ? Beverley and Lin were both severely mismatched for height on their assignments. Wroten is 5 inches taller than Bev. Lin 3 inches shorter than Anderson. Doesn't excuse anything, but McHale should have recognized this. The guy is a complete oaf.

 

Either way Sixers are better then expected. Pretty sure they had a ton more fast break points then us too.

 

It's still only the ninth game of the season. Plus, McHale spent the first 8 experimenting the twin towers. Theyll learn and improve and team chemistry will get better.

 

Don't argue with him, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

 

Asik, Beverley and picks for Love

 

He was averaging 7 points before this game.

 

Lin is too small to guard the SG!!

He should be the PG even if I like Beverly. But Brewer on Anderson would be much better and a W for us!

 

does McHale not trust Brooks to play 10 minutes to give Lin a rest

 

I think Garcia's 3pt wasn't designed for him, but he was kind of open, and he just took it. Jeremy was on the corner, but somebody was closing to him very quickly.

 

This team was suppose to have a deep roster but 8 player rotation will not cut it. McHale had stated before the season that he would be able to play 9 to 10 but has not come close to doing so.

 

We need to stack this team with one more star player... all we need.

 

I wonder if that Garcia 3 was drawn up for him or if he decided on the spot to take it because his defender had a hand on him. If so he should be smarter than that to know the refs wont give him a call like that late in the game. There was so much time left on the clock. Just a wasted possession.
