Roberson is so good defensively.

That's like the best thing ever. How am I just now learning about this?

And what did we do to get T'd up?

That cheap foul before the ball was inbounded essentially spurs a quick 9-2 Rockets run to cut the lead back down to one.

Only James Harden could go 2 for 9 and have 15 points.

That's either an up-and-down or a jumpball, ref!!

These refs are killing us.

He's shot as many FTs as our entire team.

We played with so much fire on that possession. Houston had three wide-open, good looks from three and, luckily, missed them all.

Jesus christ. Are we gonna criticize every aspect of our game now?

I hate the feel of where this one is going. It feels like we're semi-comfortably outplaying Houston, but you look at the scoreboard and we're down by one.

Why is Huestis playing?

Pillendreher · Post #53 » by **Pillendreher** » Tue Dec 26, 2017 2:39 am

Harden cooking Melo, but of course we're inserting Grant and not Patterson.

NaturalThunder · Post #54 » by **NaturalThunder** » Tue Dec 26, 2017 2:39 am

That's, what, the second or third time Harden has been rewarded a 3-shot foul?

Funcrusher · Post #55 » by **Funcrusher** » Tue Dec 26, 2017 2:40 am

**** you Donovan. Just... ****. I just can't. Playing Huestis over Patterson, just has no rhyme or reason to it. It's certifiably insane. This **** clown.

the rockets are abusing melo in pnr. they aren't even using capela anymore. brought tucker and in and going at melo over and over. imagine if we had another big on our bench who could play pnr defense and knock down some threes? wouldn't that be great? oh there he is. it's josh huestis. not.

Has Royce or Katz or anyone ever probed this asshat as to why he keeps our best bench player on the bench?

It's against teams like this where we need George to be aggressive when he's out there with some of the bench.

NaturalThunder · Post #59 » by **NaturalThunder** » Tue Dec 26, 2017 2:47 am

Ariza's on fire. He's made back-to-back heavily contested threes. Like, our defense couldn't've been any better. He'd have three straight makes if Nene hadn't got called for an illegal screen.

We'd just get some canned, evasive response because Donovan is a moron.

Patrick Patterson should be our 6th man. Instead, he's our 9th man and losing minutes to inferior players like Huestis and Grant.
