ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 10/26/2019

There you are, right on cue.

 

The Rockets coach is still average at best

 

James looks way off and it's not just the shot either. He looks like he is playing on heavy legs. Not the same burst I'm used to seeing from him. Also his defense has been disappointing these first 2 games. He is loosing his man far too often while he is caught ball watching.

 

I hate these type of stupid comments but there is some truth here. Just go back to the clippers series from 15 ...he kinda checked out after game 3.

 

We NEED some length at SF and/or PF on this roster. I know it’s old news but it makes the game harder not having one. A player like that helps on D and can get easy baskets around the paint when 3s not falling.

Harden has to find his stroke soon, it’s a real problem these first 2 games. Westbrook did his thing tonight. Continue building that rhythm with the team and he will be just fine.

 

There's a 6'7 defensive oriented SF/PF named Gary Clark on the Rockets bench and he fits exactly that need, too bad he won't see the court again because he couldn't make some shots in preaseason...

 

While you guys complain about Harden, Daniel House has been balling. Played great today. Also I think Dave Joerger would be an excellent MDA replacement.

 

God man, its like a lot of you just forget whats happend the past few seasons its incredible. The stupid reactions from a 2 game sample size, jesus, youd think some people would learn by now.

Fire Dantoni, James Harden Sucks....haha oh my god.

 

Clark is 6'6 with 6'10 wingspan. Disappears too often, on offense and defense.

Rather sign Lance Thomas who is better 3 point shooter, beast on D - 6'8 with 7'3 wingspan plus he is a vet so D'Antoni will trust better.

And CFers on game threads are the whiniest b****es I've ever seen. Quitters and Benedict Arnolds galore.

 

Clark is not a good basketball player.

 

First 2 games:

1- offense is there, defense is ****.
2- wb playing well.

 

Nobody can tell James anything and our coach does nothing about that BS. I get sick of people defending him taking 18 3's when he is cold as ice. Sure, when he is on fire it's all good, and I am all for it. The problem is that he never learns to feed the guys who are shooting better, for the good of the team. I don't care if he has a bad night, as long as he still doesn't ball hog the shots.

You have an ego problem when you have to score the most points at all cost. When 4 of your teammates are 9 of 15 from the arc there is no excuse for going 2 of 18.
There is also no excuse for only getting 5 assists when 6 of your teammates are shooting better than you. The final BS flag of just lazy slop effort is 8 turnovers.

Will he ever change? Will MDA? As brilliant as they can both be so many nights, they don't change their worst habits, which CAN get better. That is what is so dang frustrating.

 

Hmmmm I’m not sure if Clark is quite ready to be what we need. I get the measurables, but his game is not there yet. I hope we can find one soon. I think it would make a big difference out there. I just want some balance to all the 3s.

 

Yeah but he was preseason MVP

Can't win em all

 

I can't believe that Westbrook is making Harden look so bad this season thus far

 

Seeing someone with a non-stop motor play next to him all season long is going to have that effect...

 

The Rockets playing at a faster pace must be affecting Hardens shots. He is soo use to just walking up and down the court that all these extra possessions probably giving him heavy legs.
