Game Thread GAME# 2: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 26, 2020 - SATURDAY, 7:00, NBATV & NBCSNW

[B-Roy]

I hope we lose by 40.

 

[illmatic99]

this is just a bad basketball team right now.

so many things to fix, you don't know where to start

 

[Hoopguru]

Nurk is struggling

 

[BonesJones]

Told you guys it wasn't personnel.

 

[julius]

You know, I'm starting to think this team isn't that good.

 

[Chris Craig]

This is hard to watch

 

[TBpup]

Harden with 10 points and 10 assists...in 15 minutes.

....'but don't give up player X for him'

 

[Labinot41]

Neil should trade for Harden during half time so he plays for us in the 2nd half

 

[beast blazer]

Who is available to replace "we just have to play better" stotts?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

This is 100% coaching. If you don't get that then maybe don't wear a mask in the pandemic.

Harden won't change the trajectory of this team with Stotts at the helm.

Facts.

 

[Cugel]

It's true that stotts would have to go for this team to do anything positive. He has to go for the team to grow. This team has talented players. Dame is blinded by loyalty, we all have blind spots. Dame has to demand that stotts be fired.

 

[Tince]

You're cherry-picking small bits of context to try to excuse the head coach when we're going against a lineup of Bruno Caboclo, Jae'Sean Tate, and Brodric Thomas.

I was questioning how we could have a the deepest team in the league if our 2nd unit is so bad. My post said nothing about Houston or Stotts. We have more talent than Houston. If we lose tonight, it's a horrible loss.

 

[Labinot41]

Years of getting bailed out by Dame is finally catching up with Stotts. This dude is a fucking terrible coach and it's blatantly obvious with a team this good getting blown out for the 5th game in a row.

Pretty sure Harden has axed the Blazers as a possible landing spot after what he’s seen so far tonight.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Are we SURE Harden wants to come here?

 

[Tince]

I think Gonzaga could beat us. Now THATS a well-coached team.

Ok Skip Bayless.

Facts.

Harden would but Stotts would still be a major problem.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Who is available to replace "we just have to play better" stotts?

Jeff Van Gundy?

 

[Tince]

Are we SURE Harden wants to come here?

Pretty sure Houston is going to want to trade with us even if he does!

 

[calvin natt]

Lot of blame to go around but....I haven’t seen Covington do anything yet. Like I don’t even notice him out there.

 

[beast blazer]

We only have 2 new players, the need time to gel excuse us lame

 

[Hoopguru]

Out point guard has 2 assists.

 

[TBpup]

Thank goodness they keep air-balling wide open '3's or this could get embarrassing.

 

[Cugel]

Pretty sure Harden has axed the Blazers as a possible landing spot after what he’s seen so far tonight.

Sad but true.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Harden would but Stotts would still be a major problem.

Yup. Can we trade for Harden AND fire this coach? Please?

 

[Tince]

Yup. Can we trade for Harden AND fire this coach? Please?

I'd take that!

 

[calvin natt]

Covington has 1 point through 6 quarters. Assuming he doesn’t score the next minute

 

[B-Roy]

Game 2 and Dame is already in not give a fuck mode.

 

[Cugel]

I am fine with roco not scoring

 

[JoshuaHall]

Out point guard has 2 assists.

And 21 points
