Game Thread 53: Rockets host Blazers 2/6/16 

Post#1 » by Mr. E » Sat Feb 6, 2016 8:31 pm

Afternoon game, people!

Coming off of a big win where Brewer & Ariza bailed the team out the Rockets moved back up to two games over .500 while holding the Seventh Seed. Today's game is against the team that is right behind them in the standings. Every game from this point out is important, but there's a little extra importance to this one.

Go Rockets!

Harden's eurostep is so pretty

Josh Smith's defense has really regressed from his first couple games back

Lillard and Harden are chucking today, Josh Smith too but I'd rather forget about that

The problem with the defense isn't really awful scheme or awful players it's just a bad scheme for this personnel. The personnel is also not great at defense in general

Howard looks like he's running in mud on D again

Is everyone else getting tired of making the same comments about every single game? Every critique that I could make is something that one of us has said over and over again in just about every game this season.

It's crazy how Dwight is now better on offense than Defense. Also very damaging to the team.

Trade Dwight. Fire JBB. Trade Ariza and Brewer. Build from square one. This team is going no where gotta collect assets and rebuild around Harden. No joy in making the playoffs just to get smacked by SA or GS. And if you don't think we'd get smacked you're delusional.

Dwight gets hacked going for a lob and no call. Montrezl gets all ball and gets a whistle. Sigh.

It's a gorgeous day outside. I'm going to go for a walk. Maybe things will look better when I get back.

down 29pts in the 3rd. We're setting all sorts of records this season. Bad ones.

I blame these stupid Chinese singlets we're wearing. No Yao Ming in the team any more, so why still suck up Chinas Arse?

James is the only one still playing hard. Why does Dwight never box out!?
