ClutchFans Game Thread: Kings @ Rockets 11/26/2014

Very true. Good point, but I still think he needs to knock down at least a few more of his open shots he's getting.

 

Omri coming in hot.

 

No Dwight against Boogie? The Harden magic won't be enough, rockets are losing 95-87

 

Cousins and Zach Randolph are two guys who seem to always come into Houston and get pissed off about the officiating. It's really fun to watch them throw a fit and get technicals/ejected.

 

He's a streaky shooter to begin with, even last year with the Wizards he had bad stretches like he's having now. Ariza is the X-Factor of our team much like Parsons was last year. We should just be thankful that we aren't paying him what Dallas is paying Parsons.

 

Why the Kings would win:
1.Boogie-Landry-Jason Thomson vs Black-Dorsey-DMo

Why the Rockets would win:
1. No Gay-Collison
2. Second game in two nights for Sac. A team that has been a joke for years wins a big emotional game in N.O. then goes to H-town, notorious for night-life among NBA players. Do you see a problem here?
3. If the Rockets pack the paint in some kind of zone, to neutralize Sac's advantage there, can the Kings rely on their somewhat sketchy shooting to break the D? Boogie is awesome, but this is not 1995 where you could just throw the ball in the post every single time. The relaxing of the illegal D rule makes this a very different league...
4. Home court
5. james harden

prediction: Rockets win, unless Casspi/McLemore/Stauskass shoot above their averages...

 

ariza may be the 2nd option but he's also missing a lot of easy shots. he's in a bad slump gong on for 6 or 7 gamees

 

No Capela is no win

 

He's been the cornerstone of our defense, though. You can't fault him for missing shots when he's always asked to defend the opposing team best player.

 

I think it's time for Joey D to live up to his name as Ray Lewis with a basketball and clobber DMC tommorow.

 

Terry scores 20+ on the his last team.

Cousins gets thrown out in the first half.

Harden goes for atleast 35/6/6 for the 3rd time this season. (Only other player to do so other than Steph who did it tonight)

Rockets win.

 

Don't underestimate the weight of the Cousin

 

hey, demarcus can you find houston in a map, bro?

 

Time to blow these Gay-less scrubs out. They're on a back to back.

 

Omri Casspi is back in town.

Was a solid player with the Rockets.

But McHale, which is a decent coach, didn't let him express himself like he can(except of in preseason), which is pity.

Now with the kings, he is averaging about 55% from the field,
backed by the coach, slashing aggressively inside and makes it count.

He had all those features before, when he was in Houston.
it does not come "just like that".

He is by far the 6th best player of the Kings this year.
He is the glue that they have lacked last year.
and from a rock bottom league team, they are now potentially in the playoffs
(and more).

And last but not least - Omri Casspi's support of his country, Israel, during the war... is just like anyone which consider himself as Real American(which is not supporting Al-Kaeda and such), would back his nation, the USA, in times of struggle(yes, i'm talking about the guys that would sing proudly the USA hymn of liberty and not the Sharia hymn of theocracy)!

Your sentiments are appreciated- but quite frankly, he's not a Houston Rocket anymore, so most of us don't really care how he does. But we do wish him well against any team except the Rockets. Here's hoping he has an absolutely disastrous game tonight.

 

LOL @ people acting like Casspi wasn't trash before he came to Houston. Dude had every opportunity to hold onto his role, the Saudi Prince just came back down to earth. No reason to blame McHale

 

Casspi seemed like a nice guy.......but he was doo doo on the court last year.

 

"didn't let him express himself"?

Oh my God...that is laughable...
