Westbrook out and Harden doubtful vs. the Jazz

Do they call lane violations these days? Not that it matters, but Tucker had his foot on the line there.
 
Good hell... we earned that loss... played lazy, completely unfocused, shot like ****, completely selfish ball...

Rudy has so many potential open shots in the first half... we turned it over 800 times in the first half... not sure any of those turnovers were trying to get the ball to Rudy.

Quin... wtf is going on... why is TB even out there. We end up in the penalty within two minutes... he wasn’t gonna get an offensive rebound with Tucker in there... so maybe put in someone that can shoot or defend on the perimeter.

Beyond disappointed in the mental and physical effort.

I’m worried Mike has forgotten to play basketball... his turnovers were so bad... his shot ain’t fallen and his defense is so-so. I’m full on worried about him.
 
So, why is everyone putting all the blame on Conley?. Yeah, he played erratically on offense but Joe or Royce should not be given a pass. Royce and Joe's perimeter defense on Gordon/Rivers was really bad tonight. Couldn't hit open 3s. Rudy was late to contest open jumpers too (particularly in the first half). Also, the refs were terrible (especially on Bradley). The team played tight and out of sync. Dumb TOs. Just an awful performance.

Eric Gordon reminds me of guys like kevin Martin, Michael Redd, and Michael Finley who always seem to kill us.

We let him get going with our mediocre effort then they keep the effort up. We put Joe on him for a while and he was just blowing past him. We had one guy to stop... DM and Royce should have been able to handle it.

refs were dog **** tonight too... we deserved it though.
 
He was -12 on the floor as a backup. How many deflections, steals ect did he get? ZERO

Don't be a stats guy. Blocks and steals rarely don't necessarily mean good defense. You are just letting his poor play on offense cloud your judgement. He played good enough D on a team that allowed everything. Ingles sucked, Royce sucked. Mitchell was ok defensively, Bogey slept a few times. Conley played good D, so did Rudy on perimeter.
 
I was in school so I was just score watching, WTF happened? We let Gordon kill us?

We showed up expecting them to give us a win... they got hope and were loose so made a lot of shots... we missed a lot of shots and played flat out awful. We played lazy, stupid and selfish AF.

Can we stop this BS about how "the Jazz didn't play well" or "the Rockets have our number" please?

WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE F*** REALLY HAPPENED HERE.
 
To be totally fair, every player up and down the roster has looked like *** tonight. Dribbling of our own feet, throwing errant passes, not boxing out, missing wide open shot after wide open shot... This game has been *** from start to finish.
that is absolutely the truth but doesn’t give Conley an excuse to play like dog **** yet again...I guess it’s asking way too much for him to step up when the others are having a crap night...he has played horrible in at least 4 or 5 of the losses and maybe they would have still lost those games but he sure didn’t do anything to help...like McHale said there has to be an expiration date on the Conley experiment...it’s not the players or fans fault he’s overpaid by many miles...
 
The first half we wouldn’t commit to what we were doing with Gobert. We wouldn’t have him go all the way to the perimeter, but we wouldn’t have him protect the basket. One or the other. “Completely useless guarding the mid-range” is what we went for. We had one job tonight to solidify Donovan and Rudy going to the ASG. Just take care of business. Now we’re in 4th.

Whole team played a lethargic game, but Conley is starting to become an albatross. Just unacceptable given his salary. On thin ice when it comes to my good books.
 
Anyone have one of those men in black mind eraser things, i need it to go back to before this debacle happened.
 
Ben McLemore started for the Rockets. He was waived by the Kings and had been in the GLeague. Jazz were 14 point favorites. What will they do to us when the varsity plays?
