melo is out for the game feeling sick
Now we'll see if Melo is truly a cancer to the team. There should be more ball movement w/o him on the floor. Williams should also get more minutes. He literally provides instant offense off the bench but fishers benches him right after. Wtf? If they lose tonight. They should look into finding another coach.

>There should be more ball movement w/o him on the floor.
Probably not, he's been one of our primary facilitators this year. His volume early in games in particular is way down
What happened with Melo?
What the fuck happened to my Rockets? Usually they're the only reason I give a shit about living, but this season has been a nightmare. I'm still in shock.
>>63897989
>46
He got sick... Of losing.
>>63898042
A lot more kinks to workout than most everyone imagined. Harden was far and away the MVP last year and the painful start this year showed what he was dragging along.
Motiejunas being hurt sucks too.
>>63898161
I guess, it's still early in the season and the West isn't as strong as everyone thought so maybe they'll make the playoffs. Don't know who can even beat the Warriors though.
>>63898161
>Harden
>Mvp
This needs to stop. Also I love how his fans just forget all the turnovers he commits. All he's good at is drawing fouls.
>>63898277
I agree. What's your reddit username so I can send you gold, I too, dislike the Flopckets!
>>63898277
I like how 1 game in the playoffs implants such a strong suggestion from a casual watcher. Im not gonna pretend he's the most ball secure guard out there, but he was #1 in points created in the league.

Two more rotation changes for JB Bickerstaff's Rockets...Terry ahead of Lawson and McDaniels ahead of Brewer
OH THANK FUCK
>>63898448
nigger he's averaging 5 turnovers a game this season, averaged 4 last season.
2006 Kobr and 2003 McGrady didn't even average that many when they were carrying their teams.
>somehow up 4
>it looks sustainable
tfw I'm a Knicks fan but I drafted Harden for fantasy tonight
>that being a continuation
lol
Philly is getting keked by the Grizzlies
Why isn't Derrick Williams playing way more minutes than he averages?
Why isn't Amundson playing?
Do the announcers on MSG also announce the Yankee games? One of the guys sounds the same as one of the Yankees commentators.
>>63899128
Clyde Frazier does kind of sound like Ken Singleton
Harden's pass selection is way better so far this game.
Despite being behind, it feels like the Rockets are slowly moving in the right direction
THAT FUCKING SEQUENCE
>SOFTEN
>HAREN
>>63899056
Defense is the big thing, and he isn't a great passer in the triangle yet. Definitely deserves more time though, at least to check if he's hot or not.
THAT JAMES HARDEN "I GIVE UP ON THIS PLAY" DEFENSE
Can the Rockets just not make the playoffs for the next 3 years and Daryl Morey slips into irrelevancy.
>>63899128
The main guy sounds like Mike Breen.
>>63899541
It is Mike Breen. He's a Knicks announcer when he isn't doing ESPN games.
>>63899604
Oh shit. I wondered what he did when not calling ESPN games.
i have to wonder if the rockets' scheme bites them in the ass
if you're another team and you know the rockets only want layups and 3s, doesn't that make it easier for you on defense?
>>63900046
I don't necessarily disagree, but they are shooting way more mid-range this season.
Was that Defense?
Holy shit
DRAMATIC AND EMPHATIC
Calderon is unironically locking down Harden
I WANT ti hate Calderon
But damn he makes it hard sometimes
>new york knicks
isn't that a pleonasm?
Here I was thinking Grant couldn't perform
Getting shitted on by Kevin SERAPHIN, Lance THOMAS, and Derrick WILLIAMS
baka desu senpai
damn i guess melo is cancer
Why don't they put back zingis already?
Seriously.
Well, that was a bit more promising. How did Thornton get that? Prigioni move?
This garbage ass fucking team. Every fucking game they play like absolute dogshit in the fourth.
>>63902255
Because Fisher
>>63902287
Does he hates crackas? I mean, he put Calderon, who isn't great at defense, in but some people say Spain is not white.
>>63902371
He hates rookies. He already explained why kp doesn't play a lot of mins.
>>63902423
That should be because 3/4s of rookies are garbage, not the best player in the team
>>63902423
idk man, was Phil responsible for his hiring?
>Knicks 4th quarters

>>63902371
>some people say Spain is not white
And those people are correct
>9/23
>Harden
Holy fuck.
>>63902700
That's actually pretty standard for him. Last year he had a game that was like 3/24, 0/6, 17/18 for 23 points and 6 turnovers
LUCKBALL LUCKBALL
Why can't anyone box out or grab a defensive board...?
Thornton is legit still the most consistent, and best overall, player on the Rockets. Followed by Capela.
>calderon
>>63902692
Australia won't be either, if criminals can be considered white, because you don't stop chink immigration. So much for stopping the boats.
>>63902758
Do they not have a much more efficient scorer?
>that fucking shot
they fucking deserve to lose, holy shit way to give a completely garbage cockshits team a chance to win.
>hardbrick
I was legit terrified
THANK YOU HARDEN
YOU ARE OUR GREATEST ALLY
HAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT HARDEN SUCKS
>>63902818
Harden's always been a streaky shooter, but he's just been super inconsistent this year. He scored 50 last game.
>>63902803
>Puerto Rico
hahahahahahah
also
>implying I'm not first generation Australian
Well, good night porzingis. Oh shit.
PORZINGAS BAPTIZED
DE FUCKING STROYED
>>63902882
Whoa easy there lad. It was 34 which is not that bad.
Also against the sixers.
Ooof, what an oop, holy shit
lmao zinger just got put on a poster
Go fucking kill yourself calderon
I love you Marcus Thornton
can beveryly lock down curry?
These stupid fucking decisions... It's a young team, sure, but some of this is just inexcusable. We have timeouts. If no one's open, call one.
dogshit. absolute dogshit. fuck this team.
Amazing
>>63902894
>first generation
How does your cat tastes mr. gook?
While I enjoy the knicks my hatred for Fisher grows after each game in the seasons.
You would think if the Knicks playing well in the 1st half he would use the same starter line up for 2nd half but dude is so afraid to use Lopez I just don't understand.
>>63903037

You know what the best thing about waking up Puerto Rican is? You can roll over and go back to sleep.
My Rockets are still better but im loving this new knicks team
time for the zinger to zing all over the rockets
>>63903322
Not at all. This Rockets team is garbage, the Knicks are just too young and make too many mistakes.
>>63903320
Are you a grill? Are you gay? Can we fugg?
Ladies and gentlemen, your Houston Rockets player of the game
>>63903405
I'm not a grill but I've got some rice and beans in my basement if you want to come over.
Some questionable calls by the refs, but the Knicks blew this game with turnovers. Got to get better
>>63903445
A picture of the entire Knicks roster would also apply since turnovers killed them.
>>63903452
If I pick the rice with my butt naked, would you proceed?
We get iced by this fat fuck
>Knicks have one important shot left
>Didn't gave it to Porzingis or Afallo
>Gave it to fucking Calderon
>>63903558
Calderon is a good set shooter from 3
>>63903494
I would only proceed if you pick the rice with your butt naked
