ClutchFans Game Thread: Knicks @ Rockets 10/4/2016 (PRESEASON)

Yeah, i kinda expected a bit more by Clint tbh, but looks like he worked on his body and condition a lot this offseason, maybe he's just a bit slow now but he'll be better as the time goes by.

 

No respeck for rockets...
Keep winning and eventually they'll shut up.
It takes alot to build up a reputation but a few games to lose it.

 

Ryno had one serious fluke injury that could have derailed his career, a herniated disc, however he made a full recovery. Ryan Anderson has always been able to score.

In college in the Pac 10 2007-2008

Ryan Anderson CAL 21.3 PPG
O.J. Mayo USC 20.8 PPG
Jerryd Bayless ARIZ 20 PPG
Brook Lopez STAN 19.2 PPG
Jon Brockman WASH 17.6 PPG
James Harden ASU 17.6 PPG
Kevin Love UCLA 17.1 PPG

Great showing. The offense looks stellar, and the game is coming really easy to Harden!

Gordon and Anderson showing what they can bring to the team.

I'm not real enthused about any of the garbage time guys except Wiltjer. I'm guessing we won't have any surprises making the team, given how many guaranteed contracts we already have even before D-Mo.

 

Nene should start.

We need Dmo to get in and backup 4/5

KJ>Brewer and should play alondside Harden to guard good PGs and run.

Gordon isn't going to be able to stay infront of top tier PG's but should take on backups and should be highly involved when Hardens out.

Wiltjer can shoot, needs to make the team.

Would trade Capela, Ariza, and Beverly for Jimmy Butler in a second.

 

warriors look even scarier

 

Yeah, they're gonna win multiple titles. But who cares? Durant made a b**** move. I'm fine enjoying the rest of the league.

 

Any chance of catching replay if not in Houston?

 

Check out this site. They have full replays of all the games. Sometimes they aren't up till the next day, but anytime I missed a game last year I caught it there.

 

Well, when you have Melo on your team, you are pretty much going to have to placate him with his ISO plays and get his points.
That's why I'm SO glad we never landed him even though Morey surely tried.
I believe he's the one who derailed MDA's stint in NYC.
PAYBACK BABY!

 

Espn will replay it agin

 

I'm guessing that will change if the Rockets keep putting up this kind of performance.
The bandwagon will likely fill up again

 

You guys need to quit posting Mason Ginsberg tweets. That guy will do anything to take a shot at the rockets.

He's an idiot.

But the team looks great I love what I'm seeing. Harden is a special player and he can make these guys look better than they really are. If everyone buys in (looks like they have) then the team can really make some noise.

Get dmo back in here so we have a legit big man rotation of Capela/nene/dmo/Anderson and I'm 100% sure that we can beat anyone not named the Warriors.

I like this team a lot it was so nice to see players hitting open shots and the team as a whole not turning the ball over.

The defense looked really good for stretches. If they can shore a few things up there's no reason they can't finish 12th or maybe even 10th especially when you factor in the scoring they will be doing and the amount of pressure they will put on other teams to try and keep up by shooting a lot threes and rushed shots.

This team is really going to surprise a lot of ppl this year. They can win in the 50s and challenge for that 2 seed again as long as Anderson and Gordon can play 75+ games.

 

They can't wait to gush over Warriors and Clippers playing behind us.
I"m surprised they waited until the game was over. If ESPN had their way, they would have
cut our game at the end of the 3rd and jumped into the GSW/LA game.
Like kids waiting to open a pack of Pokemon cards

 

Did I SEE that?

Juggernaut offense? Ball movement? WIDE open looks. Alley-oops galore
Defensive stops, rebounds

BREWER knocking down 3's? Ariza knocking down 3's?
McDaniels makes a 3? Could it get any more unrealistic?

I kept expecting to see a unicorn run across the court at any time. LOVE IT!

 

Daryl has a couple of decisions to make with the last couple of spots.

Beverley | Prigioni | Payton | Ennis
Harden | Gordon
Ariza | Brewer | McDaniels
Anderson | Dekker
Capela | Nene | Harrell | Onuaku

Gotta believe these 3 guys are fighting for 2 spots. Montrezl has only been playing C thus far and that fits MDA's philosophies. If I had to guess, I would guess that Ennis gets cut and then Payton/Onuaku get sent to Rio Grande.

 

That's if Durant's foot holds up. He's had some issues with it before.
I don't wish injuries on anyone. But that's a possibility over the next season or 2.
If GSW loses Durant, they are a totally different team. They moved some key pieces to get him there.
We'll have to see if the dream season plays out or not
