ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 12/14/2019

I'd rather err on the side of caution since athleticism is a big part of his game and he's coming off multiple surgeries.

 

Thon to the rockets plz. Trade them Clemons

 

This angers me so much. Why the **** are we resting Westbrook? Yeah, he's not the best shooter, but he adds the energy when Harden gets tired.

 

Harden got blocked and didn’t even bother running back on defense. So annoying to watch him just give up on defense towards the end when trying to make a comeback.

 

Team is not very good a defence

 

Refs won't ever go back and look if it might benefit Houston either.
But in any case that it doesn't they make sure to review

 

MDA wouldn't play him.

 

Bro shut up....like I dont want to hear it from you. Everything you say sucks, its never anything nuanced or smart. Its just you b****ing.

 

These embarrassing frauds find new ways to embarrass themselves. Dump MDA in the trash and trade House's bum ass for a veteran. If they can't even stop the Pistons whose best player is Luke Kennard, this team is in trouble.

 

The conversation is always "Well, the Rockets didn't deserve to win because they played terrible." and also, "Well, the Rockets played so good, the refs didn't matter." So, there's no accountability by design.

 

can they make it interesting in the last minute??

 

Atleast CCWee came to play tonight. Respect.

 

Eh.....I can't put this one on James. He played well enough. Our role guys couldn't hit open shots and our coaching staff failed to draw up plays to get them easy look. The defense was putrid as well.

It's becoming a theme of the season. I think MDA has checked out.

 

It’s hard to not feel like a fool when you use your Saturday night to watch these guys play, and they did not put the effort expected from a professional team.

I’ve said it before, hard team to decode. One day it’s time travel to the Dwight day’s effort and the next one is 2018 and we are moving the ball and hitting our 3s.

Consistency is a measure of the coach.

 

What other teams do shouldn't concern us. I know James has to be sick of his so called running mates bailing on him when he needs them. You can't keep asking this dude to carry this load every night. He won't say anything, but it's human nature. He has to be feeling a way.

 

The game was well over by then.

 

Exactly.
The lack of foul calls
Has lead directly to fast break points

Rocket River

 

Hell no.

 

James Defense getting exposed. On the Ball he is getting smoked, Weak Side defense= burnt like a crispy critter. To make matters worse MDA and Elston are not making any adjustments to counter. When the offense doesn't show up and the refs dont call nothing this is the result. Mda's offense depends on the stars doing all the work and role players staying in their assigned spot. Its just irritating that when our lineup has changes we dont have a plan b.

 

Is there a reason why we throw in the towel with over a minute left and down 8? Tmac hit 13 in 35 seconds, we have double the time and need half the points (plus one rounded up)
