Game Thread GAME# 40: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 5, 2019 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

Nice to see Zach hit a '3'.

 

[illmatic99]

Because they were double teaming him.

lol no they werent. They made no adjustments. Even Turner ignored him while Nurk had Harden sealed under the basket

 

[Jade Falcon]

Houston can't miss from downtown. They will cool off, though

I hope so. Otherwise, we're in for a long night.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Why did we stop going to Nurk after he scored the first 6 points?

Nurk needs to get in better shape. He plays like an all star in the first few minutes, then does almost nothing the rest of the game

 

[Jade Falcon]

What are you talking about? You obviously missed two or three plays in a row where they doubled Nurk when he had the ball in the post.

 

[James lamphear]

While if this the game plan to allow them to shoot 3 then it pretty piss poor game plan.

 

[JDC]

Seriously. Just make Harden go to his right all night long and don't let him go back to his left. All he'll be able to do is jump into you and try to flail for fouls.

That's nearly impossible.

Elite handlers with a first step like Harden are just going to attack that lead right foot and at that point he's got you on his hip and you're done.

 

[Labinot41]

Meyers is emberrasing

 

[LuckyShot]

Holy shit our bench... And this House guy looks fucking awful but we make him look like a decent player.

Ummm... wut?

 

[Jade Falcon]

That's the Meyers we know.....

Not too impressed with Collins either. He needs to bulk up.

 

[HailBlazers]

Just started watching the game. Guess Stotts has been reading the forum. CJ staggered with the second unit.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

TOUCHDOWN COWBOYS!

 

[Blazer4ever]

It's absolutely terrible that we have a clueless defender guarding the paint (Meyers) when Zach is guarding the perimeter. It's simply bad coaching

We he? Dope.

If there's no other way, take Meyers out of the game and have Zach as the only big.

Meyers is even worse on the perimeter. There's really no place for him defensively unless he can guard a Favors/Aldridge type of PF.

 

[Darkwebs]

Jake the Great

 

[Blazer4ever]

What's the point in having our best rim protector playing as a perimeter defender? What's the logic?

 

[HailBlazers]

We he? Dope.

Who woulda thought he's best used as a Sixth man.

 

[TBpup]

Layman nice '3'!!

He has been open for lobs several times but his teammates aren't finding him. Good movement off the ball.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Layman Terms laying down the terms.

I feel like we throw the least lobs in the league.

 

[LuckyShot]

Best I can figure is it's because Meyers is in, and Meyers is in because we're paying him too much to send him to the end of the bench every game. Because we're stupid.

Meyers can dole out the hard fouls.

You want Meyers guarding the perimeter? Glad you’re not our coach lol.

 

[ripcityboy]

We could out two models of Han Solo frozen in carbonite and they'd be more effective than Nards and Collins are at times.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

out of that time out, they set one screen ET is behind the play and no one stops harden as he walks to the rim...

 

[TBpup]

Jake hits a '3'....and Stotts subs him out....lol. Of course he did.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Nurkic stop back-paddeling everytime a guard goes to the basket, confront him
