ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 10/2/2018 (Preseason)

Don't be surprised to see Ennis start this game paired with Melo at PF.

But I do believe when PJ is back, Gordon will be the SF starter. We'll see.

 

Game Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Is it on root or what locally? thanks!

 

I predict we'll see a whole lot of -

MCW, Bruno, Gary Clark, R Gray, Chriss, V Edwards, and Gerald Green.

Its a shame we won't get to see Hartenstein, and Zhou play because the battle for the backup 5 spot is one of the most interesting pre-season story-lines IMO.

The second half of this game is likely to look like Michael Carter Williams' rookie season with Philly.... which wasn't that pretty.

 

Why is it confirmed that Hartenstein and Joe dun play?

 

“We try to get ready quicker, I do, anyway,” D’Antoni said. “We treat them almost as dress rehearsals. With a veteran team, it’s a lot easier. You try to work them into shape. You don’t have to teach as much. It changes it up a little bit. We try to make sure we treat each game in the right way.

“They’ll play 20, 30 minutes. We’ll see how the game goes. We’ll see how they feel. If somebody gets winded, we’ll probably take them out. But they’ll get a good run.”

 

I saw a tweet earlier from a reporter that both are out with injuries. I guess they could just be questionable, but I figure in preseason they typically just sit everyone with a nick or bruise.

 

Read Feigen's article I posted.

Backup centers Isaiah Hartenstein and Zhou Qi, who both returned to practice Monday, along with Marquese Chriss will get a chance to show if they can hold down that spot in games, including Tuesday’s, when Nene is unavailable.

 

I just watch the first half of both games. We were the better team; the game just got stolen from us in the third quarter by the officials.

 

i watched the third quarter of game 6 today and didnt see refs robbing us...can you pinpoint some incorrect calls in the 3rd quarter of the game 6?

 

all I remember is Harden and at times Gordon getting bodied on drives to the rim resulting in no call...all of the sudden the likes of Swaggy P could stay in front of and defend Harden because the refs turned blind

 

GO ROCKETS!!!

 

It's the omission of calls, not the commission of calls. Go back and watch how the first and second halves were officiated. Drastic change.

 

wait this won't be on Root sports???

 

Straight jubilation.

 

Glad I misread his tweet earlier. Probably the most intriguing players to watch this preseason other than Melo of course.

 

Not sure why it wouldn't be. League Pass is saying its Rockets broadcast.

 

can you pinpoint 3 missed calls in the 3rd?
i watched it today and couldn't find it...
rockets were still in the game in the 3rd tho

 

finally some Rocket's games!! been a long summer

 

Rockets gonna win by 37.
