Houston Rockets 2017 Preseason Thread - Spurs MyPlayers Take Over

[bonafide hustla]

Buddy trying to give away the MVP with less than 10 games left, smh

 

[bonafide hustla]

damn man, he did that arm up - where's the foul thing with like 1 possession left, entire blazers team getting out on the break. it felt like he threw the game

 

[Peep Game]

Really ****** way to lose after tying it up, but there were multiple possessions down the stretch where they could have taken the lead but didn't take advantage. Harden was trying to go for the quick 3s when going to the rim would have been more beneficial, but I also feel like he was trying to protect his wrist. Lou Will basically led the comeback, but he missed shots down the stretch too. Jusef Nerfdick was being a bully out there too, just clogging up lanes with his clumsy ***. Rockets shouldn't have gotten down so much early anyway. Can't really point to just a handful of possessions. They fought an uphill battle for the entire game, and it cost them. Would rather have Harden rest tomorrow than anything else tbh.

Was is this harden shooting 13 3's with a bad wrist.

Literally makes no sense

 

[Peep Game]

Need Anderson and Harden both fully healthy for the playoffs, but we also need Dekker to do more than just be a body, and Bev can't be the leading rebounder all the time, Capela has to play stronger. Some of those 3s Harden took should have either been mid-range shots, or been shifted over to Gordon and Lou Will. Seems like Lou Will realized his 3s weren't falling and immediately attacked the paint.

Now look at this garbage. Dame always gets his, but no way in hell should Harkless, Crabbe, and Aminu have what amounts to season bests.

bruh, if we had chandler parsons now (2014-2015 healthy parsons), even over ariza, we would be so damn good.

Parsons was that dude before the micro fractures and knee problems smh.

Harden shouldn't even be playing right now

Yep. Ideally, the Rockets should have found a way to steal last night's game, then rest Harden for tonight and maybe two or 3 more games, then have him rolling into the playoffs. And at the same time, insert the latter end of the roster in these last couple of games, cause you never know who might pop and be a gem
Yep.

 

[Peep Game]

Only the Rockets could have Javale and Iggy looking like Hakeem and Clyde

 

[hardens beard]

 

[hardens beard]

Beverley is legit pissing me off. Give the damn ball to Lou

 

[Peep Game]

Feel like a broken record talking about missed opportunities

 

[hardens beard]

I can't believe how soft we are.

No retaliation on Barnes????

 

[Peep Game]

I applaud the effort, but there were still so many trash possessions both on offense and defense. The last GSW bucket was a microcosm of the entire game, a lot of effort only to get caught slipping.

Just need to prepare for the playoffs at this point.

Just need to prepare for the playoffs at this point.

Yep. 6 More games, @ Suns, vs Denver & Detroit, a back to back @ the Kings and Clippers, and lastly at home vs the Wolves. Very fitting that besides the Pistons, those are all teams that are young and fighting, or trying to right the ship (Clips).

 

[Peep Game]

Can't post the actual stat chart right now, but I'm looking at both team's stats, and we really got beat by Iggy, Javale, and Matt Barnes. There was overall terrible shooting % from both teams. Dekker and Harrell were the only Rockets to shoot at 50% or above, yet the Warriors entire bench + Matt Barnes shot over 50%. All those blocks they had were demoralizing too. They put up the numbers and at one point it was 11 blocks for them to 2 for us.

Capela going for 4 for 13 is troubling. He's only shooting from 5 feet away, no way you should miss that many shots unless you're going up soft.

Ariza slow release is killing spacing lately. The last 3 games GS and Portland having been zoning up off him and he doesn't have the quick release or ability to shoot further out like Ryno.

Just to list the other bad shooting:

Bev: 4-10
Ariza: 5-13
Gordon: 5-12
Harden: 4-18
Lou Will: 4-11

That is atrocious

 

[Peep Game]

Harden and Ariza are supposed to be sitting tonight comma and Sam Dekker and Troy Williams are supposed to start

 

[Peep Game]

Shuffled roster aside, this team is very annoying when they play down to clearly inferior teams

 

[hardens beard]

Troy Williams

 

[HOU$TON]

Dekker is trash

 

[hardens beard]

Dekker is trash

He gotta work on his shot in the offseason or he won't be here much longer.
