2018-19 Houston Rockets Thread of running it back (mainly)

[CurlyDumps 4439]

 Even if they pathetically eek this out, they’re getting run off the court in game 7.  Nobody has show up in Oakland except Harden, and Rivers once. 

[LTtxfan 48962]

Besides PJ, CP3 & Rivers, who for the Rockets wants to keep playing this season??

Guess we'll find out in the 2nd half......

Has throwing up a shitty shot with less than 30 seconds left to get a "2 for 1" when the 2nd shot ends up essentially being a half court heave ever worked out for the Rockets? We seem to do it every game like it's an intentional strategy but it doesn't make any sense.

lots of times.  they do it every chance they get and it works out plenty.

Yeah it's silly. A true 2 for 1 should be 40 to 35 seconds left. Under that it's worth it to just get a normal good shot.

Does Harden care about winning or getting his?

I'd be be ready to check out and get the eye fixed. After that first game, it's probably tough to give a fuck

I can't think of a single time we've gotten two even decent looks when we go for it at 30 or under (which we do every chance we get). Yes, normal 2 for 1s do work out when there is enough time to get two actual shots up. You shoot with 28 or 30, the other team uses the whole clock and you're hoping for to get a rebound with 5 seconds left and get a shot off. It doesn't feel like anything I've seen us do with that all season would make that more valuable than actually just running offense for the first possession.

tough to give a fuck because he got poked in the eye?

[CurlyDumps 4439]

Where the fuck is the team that won the rebounding battle in games 3 and 4?  Guys just fucking standing around and ball watching in an elimination game.

crazy how NBA player don't box out.  

[BigOrange1 6422]

better go balls to the wall for the next 24 minutes.

[BigOrange1 6422]

capela GTFO

[elfenix 34171]

jeff is right about harden. 

 

capela needs to sit for the rest of the playoffs

 

CP3 needs to stop shooting 3s

Edited May 11, 2019 by elfenix

[TexArcher 37508]

Capela is just lost.  I'm struggling to figure out how he ever looked like a good player.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Why is our crowd not more into this? Sounds like a god damn regular season game yet it’s an elimination game against the defending champs? Pathetic

[elfenix 34171]

CP3 needs to stop shooting 3s

Edited May 11, 2019 by elfenix
let's see if it works again

[elfenix 34171]

CP3 needs to stop shooting 3s

[elfenix 34171]

why is capela playing?

[TexArcher 37508]

Are you fucking KIDDING me?!  Bogut fouls him on purpose, no call, and if EG doesn't like it, it's a tech?!

[elfenix 34171]

mark davis seems like he sucks

[BigOrange1 6422]

2nd time in this series the refs have missed a call on the rockets then fucked them even more by giving a technical.

1. the long layoff disrupted his timing. 

2. he gained weight by working out too much and lost the precious burst, reflexes and hops, milliseconds lost.

3. last year was a contract year, the hunger and CONCENTRATION is gone. 

[TexArcher 37508]

But Draymond doesn't get a tech for his TWENTIETH bitch session of the night.

Fucking bullshit ass bullshit.

No tough to give a fuck after they got obviously screwed in game 1

[Telegraph_it 3354]

Dude we know the refs aren’t worth a shit. The way GS has been playing the refs should not even be a factor. Rockets look bad tonight.

[hookem48 4631]

time for Harden to take over, period.

[TexArcher 37508]

Boom!  Pair of three-pointers.  Let's get some breathing room here.

[hookem48 4631]

god damnit Capella, you're playing lazy as shit

[TexArcher 37508]

That reaction was worse than EG's.  Fuckers.

[LTtxfan 48962]

To be honest.... calls not great for either Team tonight.   Refs aren't the reason Rockets are struggling tonight.....

[elfenix 34171]

fuck yeah nene

sit down green!

[elfenix 34171]

green should have gotten 2 techs in the last 3 minutes

refs aren't the reason, but it's ridiculous that gordon was t'ed up and draymond hasnt been

Harden choking his chicken at the line tonight

Part of why it's close is our turnovers and missed free throws.

The other part of why it's close is every time we stretch it out to 4 or 5, Golden State gets a bullshit call.  Every fucking time.

[hookem48 4631]

5 missed free throws, nice job Harden

[elfenix 34171]

take the open 3 instead of the contested 2, rivers

[hookem48 4631]

no KD, Curry playing like me, 15 turnovers = tie game. Fucking Rockets choking like dogs.

[NowThis 931]

this is the end of the team as we know it. Key guys will be gone, nothing in the draft, everyone gets older, lots of injuries next year. Houston will be a 7 or 8 seed next year. 

[CurlyDumps 4439]

Refs know Draymond gets suspended with another T.  He could punch a ref and not get T’ed up.

[elguapo 4583]

No excuses, better get our shit together or we’ll be rightfully crucified

Green whines too much, but if EG used the wrong words then technical is warranted.

Green has 4 fouls... (1 undeserved)

Steph with at least 3....

Not sure any Rockets are in foul trouble

[TexArcher 37508]

Nene should get as many of Capela's minutes as he can handle the rest of this postseason.

[elfenix 34171]

That was a foul?

[hookem48 4631]

didn't Kobe put about 50 on someone after dislocating a finger on his shooting hand?
