    Our whole lineup was clutch in OT. Harden clutch blocks, Smoove clutch offensive rebounds, Dwight clutch free throws. What a way to close out a win on the road.

    I was just responding to some guy who downplayed Smith's performance and was saying that it was his fault we did not win in regulation.

    No kidding. 11-2 on the road! It's almost a shame Harden scored that breakaway dunk at the end. Had he just dribbled out the clock, it would've improved the Rockets record in games decided by 5 points or less.:grin:

    How about you give us some time to adjust playing with an all star caliber power forward before you begin making conclusions. Sure it wasn't pretty, but it's the Western Conference. Every win matters.

    Carter doing what he does. He hits big shots. He also misses them. He hits one big three and suddenly he is >>>>>>>>>>> Harden.

    I think the Grizz are a lot better with VC. If Lee was more consistent (some players never change I guess) he would easily take over Allen's spot. Some nights he just can't contribute. Until then, I don't think VC and Conley will cut it. Prince is too old, Allen can't make a jumper.

    ...but improves our overall margin of victory so we rate better in the Hollinger rankings.

    I have League Pass. It's great when there aren't blackouts. I don't have cable, but I have a macbook and an AppleTV, and I stream from firstrowsports.net as my backup. AirPlay Display FTW!

    Just checked the box score. Harden played the most at 41 minutes in an overtime. That's 36 in reg. I think we can keep him to that of less and have him fresh for the playoffs. Bring on the next opponent!!

    OH CRAP!!! :mad: I'm gonna be at my son's place in Katy for the next 5 games. Now I love him to death, but he has Dish. I'll be going through Rocket withdrawl.

    Agreed. We are a tough team in OT so far this season.

    they should probably be removed from the vote, let the coaches pick whoever to fill the roster out

    brow after Gasoline/Lowry. You can't be MVP on a team with a losing record.

    Yeah, I thought McHale managed his minutes well. I don't know if he was punishing Dwight, but if you are gonna go small ball then keep Smith at PF to help with rebounds. Outside of that he did good.
