ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 2/23/2017

Why us.

At least we get them head on when they have no idea how to play with each other.

 

I hope the team remembers to box out.

 

Surely hope Boogie isn't draining his threes, 'cuz Lord knows he's going to be determined to prove he's got that green light, especially if it's yellow or red.

 

The worst schedule of all time somehow got worse.

Hopefully there will be growing pains in the first game, but Anderson/Capela are still going to get obliterated. Arena will be going nuts. Not exactly shaping up well for us.

 

Boogie been shut down by Capela all year, only averaging 16 ppg on 31% and 7 reb against us. Expect it to happen. Again. Rockets own paint.

 

Rockets win in boring fashion.

James cooks, Boogie Davis eat.

 

Boogie and Anthony Davis go off in their debut, and will make a run for the playoffs. I expect this a loss from the Rockets.

 

Rockets get outrebounded by a record margin.

 

Too bad AD is going to drop 52 on Ryan Anderson like he's playing in the All Star Game again.

 

I'm not sold that the boogie/Davis front court is going to be a hit right out the gate.

I get why the Pelicans made the move though. They needed talent around Davis and they got one of the most talented players for dirt cheap.

I don't even think they win enough to
Make the playoffs this year.

The Rockets get to play them first so it makes the game that much more interesting but I expect a double
Digit win. There going to be good on the boards and down low but they will get killed in transition and defensively they will also be bad in the half court. Rockets should get a lot of easy looks and fast break dunks.

Will be a fun but easy game.

 

Davis: 32/15/6/3blks
Boogie: 35/12/5/2blks

Rockets 130
Pelicans 129

 

there will be a boogie a brow and a beard in the arena

 

You guys are all talking about nonsense. There's only one person of relevance in this game.

His name is D-Mo.

 

Agreed. They got nothing much outside their big 2.

How many ex rockets on the pels now? I'm counting Asik, DMo, tjones, casspi...

 

I hope we make a trade before this game, not just to match up with Boogie and the Brow, but just because we need too.

This could go either way. They could blow us out, or we could blow them out, or it could go down to the wire.

Oh well, at least Boogie's first game as a Pels.
What are we going to do? Ryan Anderson isn't going to be able to defend AD or Boogie. I would start Nene together with Clint.

 

As weird as it sounds, lady time we played sac Ryno killed cousins. He had more points and rebounds and they guarded each other quite a bit.

 

I loved our chances yesterday afternoon.
