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

[BigOrange1 6,611]

also KD if you could start missing some shots that would be fantastic, thanks.

[TexArcher 39,074]

Golden State is leading offense boards 14-7 and turnovers 13-5.  It's a miracle we're down 10 and not 20.

again, Dantoni is an idiot for benching his young players. 

Rivers didn't get benched for game 1.

[Southernthunder 38]

Harden gonna have to do it by himself. 

[NowThis 931]

scott foster pro houston tonight

[goatsaag 281]

It's funny how Curry gets zero respect from refs while Durant, Green, and Igoudala are generally allowed to just hack away with no consequences.

Lol. Not a single foul called tonight would have been called in 1994. 

[TexArcher 39,074]

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucking god damn fuck.

[BigOrange1 6,611]

jesus, there are two guys on the court you can't let beat you right now and one of them just had back to back open 3's.

That's great, but has nothing to do with the statement I made.

bitch, Dantoni's rotation is very stupid, like you. 

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

We chip away slowly then let GS make a run that makes their lead the largest of the game. fuckin' a

[deech 2,402]

Run it Back.....again....without Durant next time?

[Southernthunder 38]

God. Capela just doesn’t want to even try to slam it down. Twice he passed when he had a chance. A max contract fucking center.

Sure it does. Nobody is hacking away. They are all getting called, or not, for touch fouls with little to no contact. Green got called for a BS one on Capella about one second after you posted that. And they are in foul trouble so nobody is getting away with anything. 

What sucks is that they are straight up out playing the rockets. 

[NowThis 931]

good thing GS doesn't have Cousins

[deech 2,402]

It's not like they would be outrebounded worse than they have the last two games.  He probably takes a few three point shots and converts them to two point plays which Houston could use.

yeah, he has no O game at all.  Stats wise who does he resemble?  Maybe he's got something injury wise but he's not the same sparkplug of last year.

[satyanash 15,648]

GS has gone ice-cold since increasing the lead to 15. Great chance for the Rockets to cut the lead down heading into the 4th quarter.

[BigOrange1 6,611]

dumb pj.  very dumb.

I said that in general Green, Durant, and Igoudala are allowed to hack away and Curry always gets called for touch fouls. I said that in response to Curry picking up the 4th foul.

[BigOrange1 6,611]

dumb kd.  very dumb. 

[NowThis 931]

i like it, Nene smart. 

[BigOrange1 6,611]

overreaction from the ref there.

[Southernthunder 38]

Harden is fucking trying. Let’s do this shit!!! Come on guys make something happen in the fourth!!!

The 90s comment was a comment on the overall game more than anything. Stockton and even Olajuwon would have fouled out of this game in the first 5 minutes. 

The touch fouls are annoying. There has to be a happy medium between this over called shit and 90s football on hardwood. 

[BigOrange1 6,611]

game is on the table. 

[TexArcher 39,074]

What exactly did Nene do there?  He gets a tech for standing his ground?  Looked like Draymond was doing all the yapping.

[Victor Lazlo 1,814]

that was a bullshit technical on Nene 

he didn do nuffin 

[deech 2,402]

Huge amount of heart shown by the Rockets there.  They were on fire to start the Third, but every time they got it to single digits, KD would take their soul.  Then GS ran it up to 15 and there is no reason this game should be at 7 points entering the Fourth quarter.

[BigOrange1 6,611]

ughhhh

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

That was an unfortunate sequence. Rivers fell down in slow motion

[NowThis 931]

no margin for error.  Rox playing mad ball but can't miss the easy ones CP3.

I agree but it’s never going to go back to those days. No point in even talking about it. There probably will never even be a happy medium although I wish there was.

80s 

[TexArcher 39,074]

Eric Gordon is playing his ass off.

[goatsaag 281]

Durant constantly calling for screens to switch Harden off of him is hilarious.

[Southernthunder 38]

Gonna have to play pretty close to perfect basketball here on out to get the dub. Let’s go!!!!

[TexArcher 39,074]

Harden with 7 quick points.

Let's go!!

[Victor Lazlo 1,814]

Kevin Durant as a point guard is nightmare type shit. 

And still the Rockets are hanging around. 

Still got a chance. 

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

Capela should have gotten a FT % money incentive for the playoffs like he did in the regular season

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

Welp
