Boston Celtics vs Houston Rockets Scrimmage #3 7/28/20

Houston play like 5-out Pro-Am teams do in 2K

It's disgusting to watch.

Amplified by it being hard to stop

By the end of our bench, sure. We'll see when they have to face an actual team like the Lakers or Clippers.

I guess I more mean Harden specifically. Unstoppable offensive force

Hopefully we see another patented Har_en chokes in the playoffs. Something like 2/13 from 3, and 10 turnovers in a vital playoff game?

We might, but given the attention Westbrook draws, especially with how well he was going before the shutdown, Harden might have more space than ever before as a Rocket

I hope not. Rather see Lebron and the Fakers get another ring than this awful brand of basketball.

Definitely disagree. I'd much rather see Harden and Westbrook win. Harden is underappreciated, and I appreciate Westbrook's fire. Literally anyone but LeBron, let alone LeBron on the most despicable franchise.

What has Brad learned in this game that will be helpful for the playoffs?  I kind of annoyed at not seeing rotation players tonight.

Yeah, gotta say I don't get it either. Feels like we should be tuning up our starters, right?

I would have thought the starters could have used some work tonight but I guess this was to help build the bench's confidence?  only takeaway I can see coming from this

I really dislike Lebron, so that should tell you how much I hate Harden. My least favorite player of all time to watch. No way he's underappreciated with how many times he's ghosted in the playoffs.

Ha, fair enough, to each their own.

I think he definitely is underappreciated. Three finishes in the top-2 of the MVP race (IMO has an argument for being robbed of 1 MVP), and is only behind LBJ in this one because of the media hype. He's been better than Bron on both ends this season. He definitely has struggled in the playoffs before, but I feel like that's to be expected given how their teams have been constructed.

I think this Houston team could give the Lakers a run for their money. Lakers love to play big, but the rockets love to shoot threes and Lakers may have a hard time defending that.

They are toast against the cippers tho, those guys can play small better than the Rockets can, and the Rockets dont have a counter.

Houston fans are going nuts....oh...that's right.

The Clippers are the worst matchup for the Rockets. Two great wing defenders and a great guard defender, alongside great offensive forces and an interior nightmare in Harrell.

Tacko should shoot underhanded FT's

Ikr, anybody but the Lakers. We lose our identity as a franchise if they get another title before us. I can't believe the Lakers managed to get Lebron and AD. I am all for an injury to one of them (not career-threatening).

Have you seen his supporting cast?

Maybe, but is that so important with 8 games to go until the playoffs in a completely new format?

Not sure about Brad, but I’ll tell you what I learned: This team has no center depth, none whatsoever.

Although I don't know how the Rockets are gonna defend AD. He's gonna feast on this Rockets team in a playoffs series.

I'd never picture that we would ever get to see the Red Maine Claws vs the Rockets.

Good thing, I got cheap seats

I don't mind our big depth tbh. Theis-Kanter-Williams isn't too bad for me. I also don't see many teams where big man depth is a strength. The Lakers are the obvious one, and I guess Toronto with Ibaka off the bench, but eh.

AD did wreck the Rockets in the one game he played against them, but they lost as Westbrook dropped 40 on them. That's only going to get worse without AB. Danny Green can't defend both Harden and Westbrook
