ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 10/14/2014 (PRESEASON)

Imagine if we actually ran some screen plays for Troy Daniels?

Ish & Dorsey have looked terrible out there…Canann only slightly better.

Black & Adrien have possibly played their way onto a roster spot, if not here then somewhere.

Jones is getting it, slowly…as is D-Mo.

Big Papa is going to be huge…imagine a Smaller version of Scola.

Loving the Ariza signing.

…and Bev is Bev.

 

Papa easily makes Parsons expendable. He's that good. Having Papa and Ariza is > Parsons.

 

PaPa reminds me of Battier meaning when Battier's 3 point shot wasn't going he did all the other things to have a positive impact on the game. Maybe KP defense will get to the level of Battier.

 

He'll impress ..not this year..he won't even see the court (barring injury or trade depletion of assets )

 

lol that's funny

 

Ariza > Parsons

and

Pap > Lin with impact off the bench

 

If you mean Papniko is a more skilled version of Battier I will take it.

There are tons of video off him blocking, stuffing and dunking so he must be more athletic too

 

For two years now I have been.

 

Dorsey looked awful. Granted the off-the-ball screens were poor, Dorsey made a lot of dumb passes to the screenee anyway. On top of that, Dorsey also set some weak, weak screens. At least he's tall ... Wait, no he's not. He should be gone. Him and Powell. Black has earned backup center consideration in my book. Very energetic in personality and the dude can jump. His blocks thus far have been spectacular.

 

We definitely have something special with Troy Daniels but it's up to our coaching to really make his abilities be shown.

 

I'm liking how our bench is looking with Troy (raining them 3s) and Papanikolaou (I need to start to remember his name now lol).

 

This game tonight is a perfect example of the fact that we either need to get a 3-point shooting power forward or we need to get a lot bigger 4-man in the lineup. Because if we are going to bang around down low...we're going to get outsized and out-lengthed (if there is such a word) on a nightly basis against most of the Western Conference. We have one player on this roster approaching 7 feet (DMo) and he's no strong man. We simply can't compete with the size of teams like NO now that they have 2 big men in the lineup. Sames goes for Portland (we already proved that), Memphis, Dallas, OKC, San Antonio, LAC, etc. All of them have 2 bigs in their starting lineup who are both bigger than our starting 4 and 5. Dwight is uber athletic but that doesn't make up for size altogether.

If we aren't going to get a true stretch 4 then we need to get another 7-footer to play alongside both Dwight and DMo in our big man rotation.

 

Boxscore is up again

So that's how twin towers is supposed to look.

 

I am with you!

 

this season has me more nervous than any the past few years.

 

Yes, you are right he could be more skilled than Battier since he is more athletic than Shane while Shane was here. Also think KP just does a lot of intangibles when he's on the floor.

 

we'll be killed inside due to lack of length...

 

Chandler who?????

 

So you expect 48 minutes of him on floor against all the twin tower lineup's in the West? Stfu
