ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 12/26/2014

If every team was a good 3 point shoot team they would be good teams.

 

This is ClutchFans.

 

Call me crazy, but I just don't see too many similarities in their games.

 

Things I don't want to ever see again. Shved play. Please give Papa or Canaan playing time.

Overall. GREAT GAME!

 

NBA TV stating Beard MVP and not even close.

 

you forgot about flexibility.. with all that the rockets can still go out and get Dragic! just freaking amazing! it's embarrassing how Morey has set up the team.

 

D-Mo played 31 minutes. All the D-Morons can relax. He's a permanent fixture in this lineup.

 

Sorry, but you are wrong. The one and only thing T-Jones has on Josh Smith is shooting jumpers. Smith is MUCH more versatile (attacking/finishing, passing, offensive rebounding, [anything else you can think of]).

On defense, T-Jones is a complete joke while Smith is very good.

T-Jones ceiling is Carl Landry.

 

I feel like quoting HTOWN_DIEHARD again.


"Carter>>>>>Harden"

LOL Clutchfans

 

Harden getten some love on NBA-TV!

 

Smith took a lot of shots, but, legit, they were almost all good. Mainly layups. He had 2 three point attempts which sucked ass, but apart from that he was actually really really good. Hustle rebounds, good passing. The way he can drive into the paint as a pf was extremely good. It's not so much that they went to him as an offensive set, but that they gave him the ball and he went aggressive, and it worked.

Dwight had possibly the worst game of his career up until the very end, so he sat a lot, DMO wasn't playing particularly well either. That's why their touches were low.

No idea about Papa, but Terry had a good handful of minutes where he was a steadying three point threat and got the team back in it. I think that's how you play him, as a spark, he doesn't need to play all night.

Negatives - Dwight.......Shved was also garbage

Positives - Smith even better than expected, Brewer continues to be solid, and Harden with the classic 32/8/10 MVP performance

 

I'm so glad we won, I didn't want people turning on smith. Could you imagine if we had lost that game?

we got the WIN! !!!! And on his first game being thrown in there, that's all that matters

 

mike fratello "Not even close"... Referring to Harden's position in the MVP ladder.

 

Predominantly because dwight and dmo were being worthless, it's not like he took shots away from james, pat or trevor

 

Good game by The Rockets, but wasn't Conley even better? He played great out there and kept the team in the game. I can honestly say Conley does not get enough credit. Did anybody know Conley might not be an all star this year? Despite all the hard work and clutch plays he provides he is still having a hard time getting into the all star game... This is absolutely absurd, he is much improved on both ends of the floor and was fantastic today, what do you guys think about Conley?

 

Ya, on the plus side, he took okay shots mostly, made some really nice passes, and though he didn't get any blocks you could see him alter some shots with his size. He rebounded well too.

On the downside, he took too many shots, cluttered some spacing for Harden, and seemed to be a little confused on the defensive side with when to switch from time to time but I hope those are all things he can correct with a lot more practice with the team.

 

Very wrong. While I agree Smith is pretty good.

TJones will be a beefier Odom light maybe not as crazy with the Kardashian

 

Uhh, everybody knows the meme bro.

 

Smith wasn't even getting calls. He could of easily gotten to the line a lot more.
