Rockets (37-25) at Celtics (38-25) Game #64 3/3/19

[gouki88]

Rozier comes in and immediately commits a stupid foul.

Bit of a theme isn't it

[jpotter33]

Jesus Christ Rozier might literally be the dumbest defender in the league. Harden and Paul just feasting on him due to his incredibly low BBIQ.

Stick a fork in them. They legit can’t get a stop to save their lives.

this game has long been over

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

And Theis with TWO turnovers in the last minute. Awesome.

[ozgod]

Theis has had a ‘mare since coming in

[nickagneta]

Mook and Kyrie didn’t communicate on that last possession, Kyrie was with Capela so Mook went to switch and didn’t tell Kyrie who had to run to Paul who drove past him and passed out for a 3

a 15 year old child could tell that that is no way to "close out" on the 3pt line...that was patetic by kyrie

all Kyrie does is switch to the point he tries to guard the easiest situation (player on top of the key waiting for a pass)

He is never involved around the action. Doesn't backpeddle to try to strip the ball, or take a charge or grab an offensive rebound

pure shortcut defense

That must be why he averages 1.6SPG, is top 25 in the league in deflections, is 7th in the league in loose balls recovered and is top 25 in charges drawn per game. All those shortcuts

watch the game

you telling me he is playing inspired exceptional defense tonight??

be real

No, tonight he is playing garbage defence like basically everyone else on the team.

You're the one saying things like "he's never ____" which is provably incorrect. Criticise all who are playing badly, not just the players you irrationally hate

what are you talking about

Tatum is "Trying" he is guarding Paul, Gordon....

Who is Irving guarding?  D'antoni?

he is not doing anything on the defensive end. Might as well just place a pilon on the court

Tatum is trying on defense? When? He has been a defensive sieve for over a month.

His lack of defensive effort has hurt my eyes recently.

He is in a stance, arms open.... "trying"

What is Irving doing?? 

whenever a Rocket player gets the ball .... Irving runs away from such player like its a virus

This is leadership?

Putting arms up and occasionally being in a stance is trying defensively? Seriously.

This ends my inclusion in this conversation. Obviously your bias is going to make you ignore even the simplest of stuff to see.

Sad part is, that may have actually been one of our better 3rd quarters in the last few months.

But we're still down 15+ so it almost doesn't matter... 

[PAOBoston]

I’m done with this game. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

[cltc5]

Kyrie and the role players.  Awesome team 

[jpotter33]

Jesus Christ Rozier might literally be the dumbest defender in the league. Harden and Paul just feasting on him due to his incredibly low BBIQ.

And once again, Rozier completely misses the fact that Paul will be looking for a 2 for 1 and gives up an open top of the key three.

Just a complete dumbass.

[ozgod]

What’s with all the pump fakes when they get the kick outs for 3. Just shoot the ball if nobody is near you

[Phantom255x]

We cut it to 15, and then HOU goes on a 10-3 run. You knew it was coming.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

But we're still down 15+ so it almost doesn't matter... 

Offensively, yes. Defensively, no. Cs had a legit chance the last few minutes to end the quarter down only about 15, but they once again slacked off and are back to being down 22.

Literally cannot wait for the day he is no longer a Celtic. Makes my head hurt

[Jiri Welsch]

Theis and Rozier. They suck.
