ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 3/17/2013

Beverley worst on the team.

Pat and Toney for T-Rob and Francisco hasn't worked out too well. Morey's dumb trade basically killed this team.

 

Because basketball is more than just looking at a box score, or missing some shots. You actually have to give some effort on defense once in awhile. They may have made mistakes on D, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

 

I feel for Bev. I think he feels the pressure of Brooks on the roster.

 

That's the short term solution, if it's even a solution. Harden is lethal because of Lin and vice versa for having them both on the court at the same time. Rockets either need to develop their bench, through more play time, or acquire veteran players for their 2nd squad. Houston's bench is becoming like Portland's bench...no play time equating to no growth.

 

Because we played better.

are they gonna replay EVERY KINGS 3'S?!

 

Meanwhile, 2pat is having a good game against the Lakers.

 

He's always been a good shooter. 3 rebounds isn't cutting it, especially when Cousins isn't in the lineup. That was the complaint when he was here, and it's still the same over there.

 

anyone who ever uttered start beverley never knew chyt about basketball to begin with. this game was lost in the first half and then the run in the second half was sapped by poor perimeter defense--and YES, mostly by harden on klay thompson. harden is our BEST PLAYER. this is not about jeremy lin! set jeremy aside, he's the only one who had a halfway decent overall game. but just because harden is our BEST PLAYER and our SUPERSTAR doesn't mean he's immune to criticism. the whole team played like shyte. klay thompson put several nails in the coffin. without klay thompson sinking those threes, the rockets come all the way back tonight. it's not all harden's fault, sometimes a player just gets hot, BUT klay had too many wide open looks.

 

your posts are cheap.

 

Right now, he's 8/10 18 pts, 3 boards. I'd rather have that than 4 boards from t-rob and 0 points. Bring back 2pat! Get er done Morey!

 

Even Lakers announcers wondering why Jimmer isn't playing. Coach Smart is an idiot. TD getting minutes over Fredette = LOL. Jimmer is an elite shooter.

 

Wow, I was away and didn't catch the game , 78-108!!!!!
Is this the lowest points we got in this season so far?

Ok, another off night of the Rockets, just move on to the next, they will bounce back.

 

He should. I know he's a point guard and all, but you can't be held scoreless in the past 5 of 6 games after playing 95 minutes. It's not like his defense is making a huge impact either.

We really need some INSIDE presence. Shooting sometimes doesn't cut it. You have to literally feed the rim if you want to win when your shots are not falling. You also have to defend it. No, Asik can't do it alone. Maybe we really need somebody like Howard or better yet, an Aldridge.

 

Tough luck, bro.....

BAD MOVE: Harden did not speak with the media after the game, exiting the locker room before reporters were allowed to enter. Although it is rational for Harden to be upset on an embarrassing evening for the Rockets, a superstar and team leader has to show more professionalism in the face of adversity.

 

Carl Herrera faints.
