ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/2/2016

we're winning this one. book it.

 

If we win, it would mean we have our legs back to turn the corner

If we lose, it means we have lost our legs and still can only see the corner but not turn it yet

 

suppose the game gets postponed with a wet floor. what will that mean?

 

The only corner we will be turning is the corner to get to Denver's strip clubs.

 

Not sure the Rockets will have much energy left over for this one. Not only did they have to play double OT less than a day earlier, but it's their 3rd game in 4 nights. Just don't get down big early and you've got a chance at the W.

 

Yea. This smells like a scheduled loss. Not going to be much left in the legs. Combine that with altitude and the day off for the nuggets and this will be a challenge. Nene didn't play though. Is he injured? If not he should be fresh. Harrell could contribute. Let KJ run around a bit too to spell the old farts. MDA will have his work cut out on rotations tonight.

 

The 3's will rain from the heavens.
Another 3dbl for Harden.
Easy victory!

 

I think you pull a Spurs and rest some guys tonight.

Preferably Harden/Ariza

 

If we manage to win tonight, it'll be huge. This is the kind of game where a loss wouldn't surprise you, but a win would be a shocker. It would shock me, at any rate, all things considered (which you mentioned). I'm still high from the win last night. Keep the buzz going, Rockets!

 

It will be a huge win! GO ROCKETS!!!

 

another late game??? what happened to mountain time zone?

 

If you've ever been to Denver you know that would be a good corner to turn. Their gentleman's clubs are highly underrated...

 

Part of an ESPN double header, that's why

 

some games are schedule losses...this is gonna be one of those games. Really dont see how they win tonight. The guys seemed really tired last night.

 

Dont think Nene's injured. MDA just played the matchups - if there was more Zaza, McGee, or West, you might have seen Nene. Most of the game was small ball so it didnt make sense to throw Nene out there.

We'll probably see Nene more tonight, and likely to see more Brewer since he didnt get a lot of PT last night. Hopefully the Rockets can bring the heat similar to last night and put the game away early to rest the rotation players.

 

We want a late game. The more rest they can get, the better.

 

Im not sure about this one, Nuggets sit at 7-11 but with that double OT game, who knows. Maybe the young guys like Harrell, Dekker, hell KJ can pick up some slack.

 

bro i'm in europe......i want to sleep too

 

Vegas has us as the underdogs at +4.5.

I think they're right. We are gonna get beat by around 10 points after playing a double OT game that started at 9:30 and ended at 1AM then flying from Cali to Colorado.

Nurkic is a legit 7 foot, 300 pound big man, playing well. Too much size for Capela inside. The Nuggets seem to have our number.
