Harden questionable Capela Doubtful and Westbrook Out for Utah

So . .. . . .Which 7 players will get time in this game?

Rocket River

 

"Coach Dan Tony, the team scored 75 points in the first half and 27 points in the second half. Do you see that disparity as caused by only playing 7 guys, who just got way too tired?"
"Our guys didn't get tired. They just didn't make shots, got cold."
"..."

 

Loser mentality permeating thru CF is f'ing pathetic.

 

Well, that brings our 8-man team from the last game down to 6. PJ, you've only got shoulder nerve damage, so you can do the full 48 minutes, right?

Honestly, this is a game where you don't expect to win, so you give everyone some significant playing time to...uh...get them some significant playing time. Like any basketball coach managing a team of 5-yr-olds or older would do. But, we have MDA...

 

Boy this is going to be an epic beatdown tonight woo hoo !

 

Time to run the offense through Tucker for 40 minutes.

Sefolosha can fill in when he sits.

 

EG gonna have all the fun he can tonight. he can take all Harden + Russ's shots

 

Rockets short handed. Utah a tall order. Fight hard, fight fierce.

 

Clemons goes off for 30 tonight.

 

That is statistically one of the most wrong statements possible.

As I've pointed out many, many times before, the most accurate statement is: "We really shouldn't even show for the playoffs if we don't have a 3rd seed or higher."

It's nothing against you; it's just the nature of the NBA and what over seven decades of NBA history say.

 

but the rockets can play 2 games during this time span

 

Are we supposed to have the light saber advantage?

 

I think it’s bc the game is in Los Angeles that’s why. But I’m with you the games should have been postponed yesterday as well you can just tell the players weren’t into it.

 

Is Westbrook ever going to play back to backs or is this the way it’s going to be his entire tenure here?

 

I am old enough to remember 1995. Coast through regular season, win a ring.

 

Another L

Stretches like this are when you really look back and wish the Rockets gave a damn during those blown games against terrible teams.

 

It was gonna a loss anyways. Might as well rest them.

 

hell ...give PJ the night off too.

 

So am I. That's the only time in NBA history that ever happened. I mean, I want to be Houston-proud and optimistic, but I'm not willing right now to put this team on the same level as that team. I hope I'm wrong, but I'd rather have a top-three seed.
