Tonight on TNT at 8 p.m. : Houston Rockets @ the Brooklyn Nets

[It's A VC3!!!]

So far Dwight and Beverly are out for the Rockets.

Garnett, AK and Thornton out for the Nets.

Our bench is 4th best in the league but without Thornton and AK, we could be in trouble.

Nets are on a 13 game home winning streak and I think they will lose it tonight due to bench being depleted.

[Le Shaqtus]

Sweet, a game that's actually watchable.

[Eric Cartman]

Best teams in the West and East in 2014 :rockon:

[Batz]

Sweet, a game that's actually watchable.
What a terrible April fools joke.

[Le Shaqtus]

What a terrible April fools joke.

You saw right through my ruse.

[It's A VC3!!!]

In the last two first quarters Pierce has scored a combined 33 points on 10/10 shooting and 8/8 from three. I'm worried about harden. I don't like his flopping ass and could go for 40 if nets allow him to get going early.

[ImmortalNemesis]

This is insane!! Paul Pierce can't miss!

[Marlo_Stanfield]

mcfail is such a piece of shit.
acts like lin cant guard dwill and puts parsons slow ass on him.
lin has shut down dwill in the past.
what an idiot

[Marlo_Stanfield]

parsons and harden two of the dumbest players in the league:roll: :roll:

[BlackVVaves]

Plumlee and Leonard from the Blazers are some athletic ass big men.

They run down the court faster than some perimeter players on the fast break.

[Smook A.]

Why is this b*tch lin guarding Livingston

[Marlo_Stanfield]

how disgustingly selfish is this harden??:biggums:

[Smook A.]

Casspi is a piece of shit player

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Why is this b*tch lin guarding Livingston
ask your genius coach you whore

[Smook A.]

Another open miss by casspi :facepalm

[TonyD]

Is back issue serious or are they just resting KG? If this were the playoffs would KG be playing tonight?

[Smook A.]

ask your genius coach you whore
I can't

[Smook A.]

How did lin miss that layup??

[Smook A.]

Another OPEN missed layup by lin? you have got to be joking...

[Marlo_Stanfield]

How did lin miss that layup??
it was not the easiest but he should have made it. the one before he got hammered but as you should know, an asian guy wont ever get a call

[It's A VC3!!!]

Don't like this pace for the nets. Rebounding and three point defense have just turned to shit.

[niko]

Harden is one of the worst defenders I've ever seen, and i say that having seen some horrific knick defense at times. He doesn't move.

Nets defense isn't what it was earlier, they are allowing a lot of easy drives to the hoop. If they don't tighten that they'll have to outscore Houston cause the threes will be falling.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Another OPEN missed layup by lin? you have got to be joking...
what about hardens and parsons man getting open shot after open shot??
harden didnt even came back to defend after casspi made the three:roll:
of course you dont care about the shit play of your stars but about a supposed "scrub"

[Smook A.]

His post defense isn't that bad doe

just after the casspi three he celebrated an easy assist and then gave iso joe 15 feet of space:roll: :roll:

[Smook A.]

Casspi has got to stay on blatche. Unacceptable

[Eric Cartman]

So much hate in this game thread hilarious.

[navy]

His post defense isn't that bad doe

Only because he doesnt have to move.

I just dont get it. I dont think he was this bad at OKC.

[Smook A.]

Only because he doesnt have to move.

I just dont get it. I dont think he was this bad at OKC.
Hes actually not a bad defender when he tries. He needs to give more effort on that side of the floor.

His defense has looked better than last year, though.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

when Lin was a starter the last time craperley was injured he roflstomped Thomas,Wall and totally murdered Parker on defense and now MCfail ahs to prove how great Beverley is and put li8n on scrubs.
parsons is absolutely terrible at defending PGs:biggums:

[Clutch]

Mirza DA GAWD :bowdown:

The only likeable Net.

[Smook A.]

Shaqtin A Fool!

[Le Shaqtus]

Nice airball Asik

[kamil]

Asik with the incredible airball on a FREE THROW :)

[BasedTom]

Still a better shooter than Dwight

[Smook A.]

So many missed layups

[Marlo_Stanfield]

excuses

[buddha]

Asik :facepalm

[Smook A.]

Nice move by canaan

[Smook A.]

excuses
:blah

[buddha]

excuses

If James gets a pass for not trying why doesn't Harden?

[Marlo_Stanfield]

If James gets a pass for not trying why doesn't Harden?
because harden is an unproven piece of sh*t and runs less than any perimter player under 34 years old per 36( theres a stat for that)? and james just played three nba finals in a row and tries to reach another one.
dumbass

[It's A VC3!!!]

This nets defense is downright ****ing shit. Second unit needs to defend better. Rockets driving at will. He's were supposed to build separation without harden.

[buddha]

Look at these retarded excuses

[navy]

These teams have no IQ.

[Smook A.]

Nice block by asik. It's rare when you see a block from him

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Nice block by asik. It's rare when you see a block from him
have you gone insane now??
Asik is a better shot blocker than Dwight
rockets as always playing better and harder without that bearded ball stopper

[navy]

Asik is a better shot blocker than Dwight

Stats?

[It's A VC3!!!]

Kidd you ****ing idiot. Why did you keep this shit bench in for more than three minutes. You and them lost us the lead. This defense is unbearable right now.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Stats?
he blocks shots every game and in less playing time.
i dont know if stats back it up but hes better imo.
he blocks Centers dunks attempts and shit

[Marlo_Stanfield]

harden comes in, another idiotic fancy pass attempt:facepalm

[Clutch]

Motieunas :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Smook A.]

Better blocker than Dwight? :oldlol:
Asik averaged 1 block last year. Dwight averaged 2.

This season Dwight averages close to 2 and asik averages .6

[Marlo_Stanfield]

harden and garcia have gone insane

[kamil]

My God I never felt how violated and annoyed you can feel when a bandwagoner tells you something about YOUR team.

Heat fans how do you cope with this? :(

Dont worry about Marlo_Stanfield, the dude started watching basketball in 2010.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Better blocker than Dwight? :oldlol:
Asik averaged 1 block last year. Dwight averaged 2.

This season Dwight averages close to 2 and asik averages .6
asik plays a 3rd of dwights minutes genius

[Smook A.]

We could really use Dwight, Jones and Beverley right now

[Marlo_Stanfield]

harden actively destroyed the unselfish momentum the rockets had and gifted the lead to the nets.
good job good effort

[Smook A.]

They played the same amount of minutes last year, Marlo :confusedshrug:

[Marlo_Stanfield]

harden will never win sh1t:roll: :roll:

[Smook A.]

Wasn't a foul but whatever

[inclinerator]

that headsnap

[KG215]

Brilliant flop by Harden. No one does it better.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

how can houston fans seriously like this fakkit:biggums: :biggums:

[It's A VC3!!!]

**** you pierce. We were up by 7 and a shit turnover just led to six straight points. STOP WITH THE SHIT ****ING TURNOVERS. shot like that makes me want to break my screen.

[Smook A.]

how can houston fans seriously like this fakkit:biggums: :biggums:
Because he scores

[navy]

Travel?

[Marlo_Stanfield]

what a joke this mcfail, harden and parsons are:roll: :roll:

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Because he scores
wait for the playoffs.
since hes 100% manufactured he will likely still get these BS calls but he will never win a thang

[It's A VC3!!!]

This is why fans hate harden. Refs are just as trash. You should never call that.

[JohnFreeman]

Guys, stop fighting.

[Smook A.]

Why do they keep playing this Drake ad? That commercial is like 100 years old

[Marlo_Stanfield]

This is why fans hate harden. Refs are just as trash. You should never call that.
he gets this EVERY SINGLE GAME.
he got fined twice for flopping earlier this season.
didnt give a ***.
flopped even more and not only did they not sue him again, they give him all those shit calls.
nba is rigged, at least to some degree.
the other players on the rockets dont get calls at all because harden needs to get his 10 FTA per game.
its absolutely absurd

[navy]

On the 3? He was hit on the elbow
Before or after the release?

[Smook A.]

When he drives he brings the ball down really low so the defenders try to the strip the ball but end up hitting his arm 90% of the time

[Marlo_Stanfield]

agreed

[JohnFreeman]

Marlo take a little timeout my man.

[Le Shaqtus]

Asik is such a bad finisher..

[Smook A.]

Asik can't finish

[LeGOAT]

Disgusting the calls Harden routinely gets

[Smook A.]

Motiejunas... c'mon man

[inclinerator]

ppl bashing lin, he's better than beverly

[Marlo_Stanfield]

harden gonna shoot 25 FT tonight

[Le Shaqtus]

Harden is so shitty to watch

[Marlo_Stanfield]

ppl bashing lin, he's better than beverly
hes better than 90% of the PG in the nba.
hes not allowed to score on this team OR playmake.
when he takes over 11 shots houston is 17-2

[aboss4real24]

nets will beat the heat in the playoffs

[Inferno]

Not watching, but are Harden's 12 FT's all bullshit?

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Not watching, but are Harden's 12 FT's all bullshit?
no 2 were legit

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Lol lin missed a shot. back to the bench u asian asshole

[It's A VC3!!!]

ARE YOU GOING TO STOP HAVING SHIT ****ING TURNOVERS PIERCE. Shoot the ****ing ball you dumbass. Stop killing the momentum. Damnit. It's ****ing horrendous.

[Smook A.]

Not watching, but are Harden's 12 FT's all bullshit?
I'd say more than half

these upcoming free throws are legit since williams wrapped his arms around him

[Milbuck]

Beardsley with 14 ****ing free throws halfway through the 3rd. Sickening.

[navy]

Rockets always chuck threes

[r0drig0lac]

Nets ball movement :bowdown:

[Smook A.]

Why doesn't joe johnson play like this every game?

I don't understand him :confusedshrug:

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Someone need to put this racist piece of horsepuke mcfail out of his misery.
hes losing games on purpose to show lin is bad and beverley is the better defender.
he puts parsons on elite PGs on defense even tho he gets murdered by them and has no energy on offense.
then he puts lin on SGs who are 4 inches bigger and of course they shoot over him. what the hell is he supposed to do?? thzen he benches lin for that
Lin always defended the elite PGs before beverley went down and did a good job at it.
McFail is seriously the biggest piece of shit i have ever seen coach an nba team

[It's A VC3!!!]

Why doesn't joe johnson play like this every game?

I don't understand him :confusedshrug:
He's been the most consistent net. He can't play "like this" every night with Paul, Deron and other scorers too.

[Le Shaqtus]

Parsons shot is so flat :lol

:mad:
its sad but true.
mcfail is an insane old fart

[Le Shaqtus]

That was a sexy dunk

[Smook A.]

Nice move

[LONGTIME]

Refs

[Inferno]

Harden with 16 FT's. Disgusting.

[Le Shaqtus]

F*ck you Harden, finally you don't get a call

[LONGTIME]

**** Harden

[Smook A.]

Harden just did the Reggie Miller. Stickin that leg

[KG215]

Now that I'm not blinded by my "favorite team" bias, I can't believe I ever liked watching Harden play. I know his game is effective, but it's annoying as shit to watch him either jack up a three, or barrel down the lane with his only attention being to throw his arms up and hope to draw a foul.

[LeGOAT]

All Harden does is try and draw fouls

[navy]

Teletovic blatantly handchecked...

[Smook A.]

Y'all always be hatin

Sounds a lot like a player on the Thunder

[Milbuck]

:banana: I'm LOVING this shit. Harden keeps exposing himself to the eyes of ISH. Soon everyone here but Rockets fans will hate him.

You obviously dont. You are either the dumbest guy on the forum or an annoying troll. Either way me telling you to stop wont have an affect.

[MVBallin2K]

I legit feel like you have a notepad of cliche phrases that you say every thread expressing the same viewpoints that even I, who doesn't watch anywhere near every Rocket game, knows by heart by now.

We get it, you hate Parsons, Harden and McHale. You hate the way that Lin isn't utilized. Please...bring something actually new and articulate to the conversation by this point.

[sejoon101]

Lol parsons gon jordan

[DuMa]

deron's son is diagnosed with autism? damn

[BasedTom]

Asik is always amazing to watch. Yet Houston fans shit on him...

[KG215]

Clean block by Parsons. Bad call.

[LONGTIME]

Clear goaltend not srs

[DuMa]

clean block... how u gonna reward that scrub, refs?

[sejoon101]

Refs and the softness of the league..

[It's A VC3!!!]

Look at that flopping piece of shit. Trying to draw the foul.

[Smook A.]

Look at that flopping piece of shit. Trying to draw the foul.
He was hit. Not every head snap is a f**king flop. That's goes for everyone in this league

[The JKidd Kid]

He was hit. Not every head snap is a f**king flop. That's goes for everyone in this league

With Harden the vast majority of them are.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

see lin doesnt get the foul even tho he got fouled 3 times in 1 second
all because of harden

[navy]

Airball

[FKAri]

Harden :lol

[sejoon101]

Harden :coleman:

[Marlo_Stanfield]

that RIDIColous fuqing no call where blatche fouled lin three times :biggums:
never seen anything like it.
he literelly tried to rip him out of the air.
harden tho, choking as always
choking and chucking:coleman:

[It's A VC3!!!]

During the nets 13 home winning streak they have won by double digits on like. 10 of them. Going to check the official numbers later.

[JohnFreeman]

How can you even defend Hardens flopping?

[oh the horror]

Hardens defense is straight up ass crack.

[DuMa]

Harden trying to defend Iso-JOE is embarrassing

[Marlo_Stanfield]

whoever calls harden a top 20 player is absolutely insane.
his points have zero positive impact on a game.
only when he hits a clutch three but that is not very often.
what a disgusting prick

[Smook A.]

How can you even defend Hardens flopping?
Wasn't even a flop. Go back and watch it. Not every head snap is a flop

He was hit right on the chin

[YouGotServed]

good loss for the rockets. this should secure us the 4th spot. Portland and SA in our first 2 rounds.

sweet!

[Legends66NBA7]

Is Diwght Howard playing tomorrow ?

[It's A VC3!!!]

Had the Nets not blown a 22 point lead vs. the Pelicans and won that game they would be just half a game behind the third seed. Losses like that could haunt the Nets when the regular season is done.

[steve franchise]

No Howard . No Terrence Jones. No Beverly
Rockets didn't even have a game plan tonite..
Good game Rockets. 4TH SEED

That's pretty bad considering Lin and Asik were starters last yeart. Asik had a beast of a game tonight.

Nets were down Garnett, AK, Thornton and of course Lopez, but Kidd actually has handled the injuries exceptionally well in 2014 and has a game plan when players go down.

[ChuckOakley]

LOOK AT ME!! I SCREAM AND YELL AND SWEAR. I'M NOT FUNNY. I ADD NO INSIGHT TO THE GAME AND MAKE MY TEAM AND IT'S FANS LOOK BAD WITH MY PATHETIC POSTING WHERE I TRY TO DRAW ATTENTION TO MYSELF

I haven't been on this site in ages and it seems nothing has changed... but at least it looks like everyone ignores VC for the most part. That's a positive sign.
