ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 2/11/2019

nah , keep it going until 75( or not sure how much exactly) !

 

It's jarring seeing so many white people on one team in the NBA. It almost seems intentional. Who in the hell is Ryan Broekhoff!?

 

What dumb arse asked that barea question! Lol MDA was like “wtf?”

 

Harden wins with 1 arm

 

Delicious win!! So many players in double figures!

Once we get Clint and House back and everyone's healthy GSW won't be able to sleep well for this last stretch of the season.

 

why?
the streak was in jeopardy only a couple of times...its easy for harden to score 30

 

IMO he can get past 65 unless he's having a 2017 game 7-level funk. 30 is so easy for him now that he can have a mediocre game and still get it.

 

Best stat of the game is 28 assists.

 

I’m not sure if there are enough games left for him to pass Wilt.

 

yes!

Spoiler: spoiler

btw pls tell us more about amazing time growing up in dallas

 

NOT racist?

 

My post game grades:

A+:

1. James Harden
-pretty clear Mavs game plan is just get under his skin and prevent him from getting 30 pts, the crazy thing is we actually need his 11 pt explosion at the end otherwise Doncic would've come alive. Harden didn't score efficiently but the hustle, playmaking and defense was there I like it.

2. Cp3
-Another excellent outing by Cp3, dude played like a superstar he had 17 pts and 11 assists along with very good D.

3. EG
-The silent assassin strikes again I hope he is having fun cuz he is certainly playing like it.

4. Gerald Green
Danuel House who??? GG has made him obsolete

5. Faried
The Manimal has been beasting, he had 80% FG this game which is ridiculous of he was 3 inches taller I think we can trade away Capela and have him be center full time lol. A couple of lapses on D but the 17 and 8 makes up for it.


B+:

1. Tucker
-Dude is an A+ on defense but an F on offense I credit him for locking down Doncic all game and making lots of positive plays but ******* he is starting to remind me of Scrubberson why is he so scared to shoot lol! MDA needs to give him a scoring clinic cuz he doesn't know what to do with the ball when he gets it.

B:
1. Rivers
-Rivers played a very solid game not flashy and he onky had 1 assist but I like his consistency and steady play.

2. Shumpert
-Shumpert didnt have good stats but I liked his aggresiveness, he may have missed a lot of shots but his activeness opens it uo for everyone else thats why he had 4 assists. His defense of course is pretty good I think he is our defensive stopper this year along with Tucker.

C:
1. Hartenstein
-I can see him becoming CF's new whipping boy lol give the kid a break its his first game with major mins and he wasnt that bad, made his only shot and had 2 blocks. He was in a good position several times but the team ignored him I guess he needs to earn their trust first. The sooner he gets PT the sooner he can cobtribute, kid's only 19 I see a lot of potential especially the white kind.

 

lol he can get a subpar game and still get it...his mediocre game is 37ish now

 

It's an observation. Not saying they aren't good enough to play - Barea and Dirk have killed the Rockets plenty over the years. You just don't see it a lot.

 

Griff has been pretty complimentary towards Harden whenever I listen to him on the radio. He's always saying how efficient and unstoppable he is. About the only thing negative he's said that I recall is that the "one man show" would have a difficult time in the playoffs or winning a championship. A couple of weeks ago, guys were talking about how Harden was chucking shots to get all the points he was scoring and Griff's response was that there weren't too many people who can do what Harden does even if you let them have the opportunity and that what's going on in Houston was one hell of a mad scientist experiment that was "fascinating" to watch. If Griff said that some of these 30 point games may have been manufactured, let's face it... are you going to disagree? If so, you should probably check your own truthfulness because at least a couple of them have been "let's get him to 30" type of wins. lol. I mean, if people can b**** about Crazy Russell stat-padding, but don't see it in those few games where Harden, may have, then you're being a blind fan or at least disingenuous.

Griff is one of the few "radio personalities" I love listening to. I was listening to him today and he impressed me more when he said that you only usually hear about the faces of the organization when they're successful -- like the big name players, the GM, or maybe the owner. He went on to say that much of the infrastructure of what made the Cavs a good organization is still there. I thought that was impressive for him to say that since he was their former GM.

 

Another great thing about seeing the HarGod clutch his 30 is seeing his impostor airball his counterfeit stepback over and over again. Karma for that humiliation in our last meeting.

 

Lol at Mav fans in their subs and forums saying “we are still 2-1 against you guys” congrats you want a banner like the colts?

 

Another doubter, squashed for thinking Harden's "UnguardableTour" wasn't going to continue
