I agree.
keep the lead at single digits, and see if we can steal this game in the 4th quarter.
50%+ FG 40%3ptFG for Hou.. law of averages should catch up to them
He's not as bad as he used to be though. He'd wait entire quarters before making adjustments. He got Rivers back out there quickly when Roberts was making our offense stagnate. Also letting Davis play with two fouls for a short while because Davis just doesn't foul people a whole lot.
Really impressed with the Rocket's PF's, much better than I assumed. Loving Davis' increasing block rate over the past 2 games, so glad to see Rivers making some shots, still playing too rushed.
Anyone know Rivers' FG% so far this season?
Rivers can't shoot..:idoh:
Where where did the d go?
Harden should be doubled everytime off the pick & roll .. Make somebody else beat you
good thing this game is Aminu not taking too many jump shots. Our FG% would have been more disastrous !!
Hmm. They need to find a way to cover Harden. He is getting to the rim with little impedance. It would be nice to get this down to 10 by the half.
damn huston kills us on both sides of the floor, hope our guys can comeback after halftime, but i guess not
we cant give up 59 points in a half and expect a W. can we?
check that 64!
:idoh:
man.........
Rivers doesn't even make layups
Well this is a huge disappointment.
I'm starting to believe that Rivers does need to go to the D-League for a while...
Awful, Awful, Awful!!
Easy to notice how the lead blew up when Davis was subbed out.
Blame this all on Gordon... too easy.
Game Over everyone .. Man, in other drafts, Austin Rivers would have been a 2nd rounder !!
Terrible .... 39 points given up in the 2nd quarter . The backcourt of Brain Roberts & Mason completely turned the game around in the 2nd quarter & got Houston going
Ant D should never come out. We need his offense and definitely the defense
learning time for our young team.
How can Harden lay it up over 5 defenders? And continually?
U guys need to give rivers a chance. Its completely obvious he is overt hinking and trying WAY too hard out there. U can tell in his body language that he is PISSED with his slef. As a HORNETS fan, i will stand behind this ROOKIE. Lets not add more pressure on the young guy. I really believe his drive will make him a great player. Give him 2 years and he is a all-star. Yes all-star. I honestly believe that.
The ****. He misses a lay-up and suddenly Rivers needs to play in the D-League?
I'm starting to wish we would have taken Jeremy Lamb over Rivers.
True, Monty had this problem last season too, he would let the garbage crew stay in the game when it was obvious that some change was needed... And then we'll be in too big of a whole to realistically come back from... hopefully we can muster up some stops and miraculously some points in the 2nd half
oh my god, 38,5 % shooting, thats disappointing
Monty needs to learn in game adjustment from Pop. He's supposed to be from the school of Pop but I can't say he's learned that part of coaching from him.
we just can not deal with the quickness of harden and lin plus morris and douglas are shooting the lights out for some reason! absolutely disappointing from an defensive perspective, offensively we had a little bit of bad luck but i was most of the time happy with the plays (except roberts forces his own shot). Let´s hope that we can make this into a game in the second half!
Rivers is a rookie, there are going to be days like this. Beal went 1-10 or 11 yesterday. Should he go to the D-League too?
I remember a Hornet rookie, well two of em... Collison and Marcus Thornton, boy they were young and ROOKIES and they made it happen... Thornton was advertised as a SCORER, and he..., wait for it... SCORED... Collison was a pass first PG and he..., wait for it, PASSED FIRST...
My problem with Rivers is that he is advertised as this great scorer but he cant..., wait for it... SCORE... not only cant he score but boy does he stink up the entire offense while out there... I don't know if you guys forgot, but we desperately needed a scorer in the offseason at the guard position to help take slack off of Gordon and also to keep us in games... Well we wasted a 10th pick on a dude who does none of the above
The difference with Rivers and other lottery pick rookies is that they show flashes of what is to come. I don't See a future all-star in Rivers. He is a marginal player
We need to see more of Davis & Anderson in the post ...especially Anderson . Play through him & instead of having Roberts dribbled the air out of the ball .
It's obvious we can't play the same pick & roll offense when Roberts is in the game ... We trying to make him do something he can't do . Feed Anderson the ball in the post & work off him
^^ Then you are blind. He is able to get to the rim well and has a low turnover percentage. Those are very useful skills for a guard.
