ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Wizards 11/26/2018

I went backwards until I found a positive post. Nice work.

Ultimately this season is about the playoffs and if we start clicking by then, the team is healthy, and we relocate our identity, all these struggles will be forgotten!

Let’s go ROX!!!!!

 

Exactly. People are freaking out too much. Calm down people. I have a feeling that's what the org and team is worrying about too. Just be healthy for playoffs and they'll be fine

 

we are still the best team in the league when healthy...

hell only 4 games out of 1st seed... if we mesh and go on a nice winning streak we will be the first seed soon

 

Positive Harden had a triple double (bittersweet that one of the stat is 11 Turnovers).

Eric Gordon found his shooting somehow but he had to start.

Did not see this game going into OT the way it did.

 

Obviously this has little to do with meshing and more to do with fatigue and probably inconsistent energy levels on Defense.
(Defense really sucked again)

The poise is not always great.

Harden played like 40+ against Detroit, another 44 minutes against the Cavs, 47 minutes against the Wizards.

Chris Paul just did not appear again. Tucker was also run into the ground with 40+ minutes.

The goal was to give those 3 enough rest. Paul needed an injury to get more rest.

The damning thing about it is they are starting to play more and more OT games, wearing themselves out again for the next game.

 

you made some fine points,
i think we will be fine, so many injuries, suspensions and many new players, and no 1 seed still within an easy reach
I am confident

 

The No 1 seed won't do it all, because the East will likely take the Overall No. 1 seed with HC advantage.

Very likely taken by the Raptors. The one Eastern team Houston did not win against last year too.

 

still confident, i am sure the greatest moreys acquisition this summer went under the table, watch out for no 25
in the striped jersey

 

Winslow or the ref? Lulz.

20 pt deficit and one is going their way.

 

who is the ref no 25?




tony brothers

 

here you go

 

Rockets won the championship as the 6th seed. People forget that. Only seven spots to go

 

The Rockets need to continue starting Eric Gordon even after CP3 returns. The 3 of them on the court at the same time is scary when EG is making his shots.

If Ennis/Clark are falling out of favor for MDA, don't be surprised if we see this next game.

 

ppl forget this is november....we are still the best team in NBA...the very best

 

The rockets won a championship the last time they changed owners in the first two seasons

 

Tough loss. On to the next one

 

Another trash effort against a crappy team. Rockets have fully reverted back to how they started off the season: can't be bothered to lift a finger on defense and apathetic and lazy offensive execution. Harden and Gordon made a bunch of shots but the focus and purpose offensively clearly wasn't there.

This was a critical road trip against mostly sub par competition that offered a golden opportunity to make up some ground in the standings. A 3-0 or 2-1 trip would have been a good signal that the Rockets were on the right track. Instead, the Rockets promptly lay a goose egg and look as bad as ever. Wonder if they'll ever turn it around this year.

Lol, fool's gold implies that they at least look good on the surface. So far they're just crap.

 

hakeem, stop...

Please explain how we are still the best. Please don’t say “oh, we’re just coasting and not taking games seriously” because that’s clearly not the case.

 

The Rockets are the ONLY team ever to win as a 6 seed, once in history, and they had a guy who led them by playing both offense and defense.

That team would CRUSH this one.
