ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 12/26/2020

The way I see it, House is walking on a thin rope right now. If he isn't going to hit the three, he is going to be useless to us. I rather have Nwaba or Tate out there. Those guys play with ****ing energy and heart.

 

11-28 from the field

 

Brown and nwaba looked good .

between wall , Gordon , and brown and nwaba .. we have a solid enough guard unit to put around harden .

can Tate , house , PJ, wood and cousins be a good enough frontcourt ?

 

Totally agree. Super proud of the effort. Harden was just amazing...

 

I Think we need a more than anything a PG someone like JJ Barea

 

He should be in the G League at best.

 

Good D does that lol

 

Technically the first game was postponed.

This the second game on schedule.

Always a thriller against Portland.

 

A team that has House on the rotation can't win anything in this league. As simple as that.

 

I guess it turns out that Harden is worth the asking price.

 

This. The reason we lost imo.

 

We would have lost by 20+ with dantoni coaching that group.

This was a tough loss but so many positives.

 

It feels like Harden is afraid of glory.. just take that ****..

 

Harden outscored both benches combined tonight.

 

What Im saying is House was the problem and not Tucker, cuz tucker was doing his job as a small forward. What do you mean Tucker played small dude is 6'6 he is literally small. You are blaming the wronf person it should be House replaced for s proper PF not Tucker.

 

Don't respond to him seriously. @Crybabyjames is just a bandwagon Laker 'fan'.

 

Harden can go to as many strip clubs he wants if he plays like that.

 

House is a Silas favorite.

Smh

 

Like DeMarcus Cousins?

 

Harden was Harden and was sublime. Biggest issues were the lack of outside shots falling. Non-Harden players shot 5-22 from beyond the arc. Take out Shannon Brown and it was 3-19. When they shoot over 40% from 3, that’s hard to win. Harden seemed to flow well in the Silas offense, and took his moments to do his thing.

Wood had a monster game, and it frankly seemed like he left some points on the table. The sky is the limit there. He had a couple nice defensive plays, but the light hasn’t come on there.

Tate was great. Wish a couple of his 3s fell, but I was surprised by his confident ball handling and passing decisions. I even liked what I saw from Thomas in bursts - decent flyer of a 2-way player.

Tucker did not play well. He should’ve been in the corner on the last play.

The defense was in rough shape, but some of that has to be the rotation too. We’ll see how it evolves. I didn’t understand House in the game on the possession where CJ hit the game winner — we had Nwaba on the bench. House had way too many lapses in judgment earlier in the game, so losing CJ was just par for the course.
