ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 11/22/2014

No Dwight we will get our ass kick.

 

Rox are gonna get dominated as fck.

 

The Lakers sans Kobe shot over 60% against the Mavs.

Jordan Hill: 7/7
Jeremy Lin: 8/11
Robert Sacre: 5/5
Carlos Boozer: 6/11

Harden is going to have a career night tomorrow, you heard it here first.

 

Nope sorry, this isn't knee jerk and as far as I am concerned I have a right to post my perspective. He may be injured, but the whole thing has been sketchy when you look at how he was scratched just before the GSW game, then is at his movie premier the next day, then this deal with his knee he is at shoot around and "suited up" then suddenly is scratch in a game where had he even played 15 mins it would have made a huge difference. Then he is on Instagram at the movies photo-opping with kids. He is big guy, wouldn't it make sense to stay off that knee for a few days if it's bad enough not to play Wed night and now apparently Saturday night as well.

It's clear by the way McHale handled his post game interview and post practice interview yesterday he's a bit constipated with his responses about what it going on w/ Howard, so I should just shut up then huh ...

 

Kobe had Parsons on him and harden will have parsons on him.idk about a career night rockets need to win

 

Parsons doesn't have the athleticism to check Harden. He'll draw Ariza. Who would Barea/Nelson/Monta check? You really think any of those 3 can slow down Harden?

 

Harden slows himself down by taking 4 seconds to run around a pick and taking contested 3's. Harden isn't athletic as you think BTW that's why he has to take stepback jumpers all game. He gets no lift on his jumpshot and has to go iso to get around defenders. How is he gonna check Ellis BTW who has elite athletic ability ?

 

He doesn't have to check Ellis. That's Bev's job.

 

Harden gets 50 pts , and yet we get blown out.

 

Yeah, I would have Harden guard Parsons. Quickness won't be an issue, and he is strong enough to guard Parsons average post game. Plus I think Parsons will try to go hard at him and become selfish.

Ariza will have to guard Ellis and use his length to bother him.

Won't the the issue though. No Dwight or Jones means we will get torched on the glass. The scrub bigs on there bench like Wright usually play above there pay grade against us. It is going to be a layup/dunk sessions for the bigs.

Hopefully the Mavs go small and force McHale to play Canaan again. Seriously, did Mchale get beaten up or drugged and he forgot the kid exists and recently was playing really well.

 

We must give them a f'n run for they cash the way OKC did with us. We may not have the coaching or the players to copy that exactly - but we have to try and it starts with heart and ends with effort.

Rockets win or die trying.

Anything less is BS.

 

Dallas offense straight out murdering nba defense thread :/

Same fakers team that played us got burned for 140

I wont be watching tom ...... too scared especially without dwight and tjones

 

First I thought 114-89, maybe now I can say 134-89.

 

Okay, so maybe Parsons will draw Harden. You know what? That's just fine. That means they'll have a midget guarding Ariza. Even better for us, we'll have both of them going off.

 

Ariza can't hit nothing though

 

Rockets will get blown out, I'm positive.

 

Time to hoist all the threes.

 

It's not gonna be close. The Mavs destroyed Philly by 53 points. We get the Sixers the next night and need a last second layup to eek out a 1-point victory. The Lakers hold us to 92 points and win by 6 on the 2nd night of a B2B, yet they give up 140 to the Mavs after a day of rest.

Let's be blunt. The Rockets suck right now. And I don't think it's just the health of T-Jones and alleged health of Dwight that's impacting them. Something doesn't look right with this team mentally.

 

Eight or seven guys in double figure every night, that is something

Monta, Parsons, Dirk are good for 20 ppg

they get Nelson, Wright, Crowder, Aminu and Barea

Possibly Villanueva, Jefferson, Felton can give them occasional 10+ points

 

It's going to be fun re-quoting these comments after the game tomorrow.
