ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/17/2014

Home and road sweeeeeeeeep!

 

just win baby

 

Canaan goes for 20. Rockets win.

 

Is he expected back?! Man, it will be nice to see our team at full strength. You have to believe we are even better than our record indicates considering the fact that we've been running on fumes for the last month or so.

 

Canaan is slated to be back ... Now just Garcia, Papa and TJones.

I wish there was even a little bit of info on TJones. (Can he run, bike, practice?)

All I know is that he's alive and can walk (see him at the games).

 

He can submerge.

Dwight: 24pts 13reb 4blk
Dmo: 21 pts 5 Ast 7reb
Harden: 27pts 7ast 8reb

Rockets win 113-95

 

i hope we win, but i think it's gonna be a real close one

harden getting that trip dub will leave a sour taste in the nuggets' mouths, so I expect a dogfight on wednesday

i will be really impressed if we close them out early though...i don't like hanging close to these teams (e.g. kings)

 

On national TV. Let's hope our 2 main guys, Harden and Dwight (especially Harden), have big games and get the win for us. Hoping D-Mo, Bev, Terry and Ariza have nice games too.

Btw, any word on Canaan?

 

he's playing

 

Yesssss

 

is this our "new" BIG 3??

 

This game isn't on national tv.

 

Rockets by shfourteenteen. Reserves close out the game for the last doo and haif minutes.

 

Yes it is on Espn.

 

I hope we get JVG as our commentator

 

Please tell me JVG will be a commentator. Then he can go on and on about the Rockets!

Something tells me it's gonna be one of the unknown guys and Hubie Brown.

But Denver is always a tough place to play. We have to control the pace. Interested to see if Canaan gets some burn if he does return. Johnson has been really good defensively but the second unit needs an offensive weapon. Maybe they will start to limit Terry's minutes.

Beverley (30) / Canaan (15) / Terry (3)
Harden (30) / Terry (12) / Johnson (6)
Ariza (40) / Harden (8)
And so on.

 

Altitude should be our biggest concern.

 

It's on ESPN...
