ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 3/25/2015

I'm still surprised how poor defensively an Asik+Brow tandem have been. I mean they aren't horrid, but that should at least have them doing very well.

Heck they allowed 62 points to us in the paint

 

Who knows. They might come out without a care and lose a couple of those games. Looking at at least on of those Lakers' game as a lost.

 

Fantastic win good peeps

 

56-26!

 

Such a great win for the Rockets. Ariza played an amazing game. D-Mo was great. Harden was Harden. The Harden iso wasn't working great at the end of the game which allowed NO to get back in it, but it also ran a lot of clock which shortened the game with the Rockets in the lead. If the Rockets can play with the intensity they showed from the second period on in this game they can beat anybody.

 

seems reasonable. If they can go 8-3 over the last stretch, we should be happy

 

Back to back against the Spurs.... ouch!!

But will let us get a preview of the playoff match up.

 

With Wizards slipping and Lowry out indefinitely, we should win out till the Mavs/Thunder game. Tough stretch with Dallas/@Thunder/@Spurs/Spurs, though.

LOLOL ESPN just showed the last play of the Rockets-Pelicans game and the clock stopped at 0.3 for a good second and a half.

 

I seriously cant believe that last shot by the Pelicans... Cunningham took 3 steps out of bounds...

 

Washington is winnable, especially if Beal is out. Toronto is usually a tough place for the Rockets(especially with it being a B2B), but they're playing like crap right now and Lowry may not be able to go in that one. Dallas is a tossup. OKC is winnable with Ibaka and Durant out. The Spurs will be brutal, but a good test. And Charlotte is a very winnable game, especially if they have nothing to play for by then.

 

Great game!

 

Great win! Good to see Dwight back! We're going to need him. Hope Bev and Jones are back soon. We'll need them too.

 

Big win vs a team who has blown us out previously every game.

Who knew we would win by going small and playing even faster?

 

Wasn't able to watch tonight had to work. How did Dwight look?

 

If there is a obvious clock malfunction and the clock stalls, what can the refs do about that if it was in the last possession?

What would have happened if Pelicans actually made a shot at the end but it only happened because of the clock stalling? The refs would look at the replay but it would show he got it off before the buzzer.

I'm pretty sure "clock stalling" is not reviewable so the refs would have to call it as it is - a made shot...

Now I will be scared of playing road games with the other team's scorekeepers playing with the clocks at the end of games.

 

Solid and active with limited minutes, from what I can gather

 

Ariza on Davis is key. Good move by coach.

 

Impressive comeback. Harden was Harden, Ariza was special, DMo did everything very good. Nice game, when mattered defense showed up.
DMo was awfull first year on defense - now pleasure to watch. Became reliable defender. He is quick and nimble on his feet, head works all right, and he is pretty big. And strong.
Dwight looked all right, hope McHale will control his minutes even i n PO. It is better to play less, but productive and effective, instead of overdoing and sucking.

 

I don't care where we fnish in the standings, would obviously love home court, so as long as we finish 4th i'm happy. for now getting Dwight back in and settled, plus integrating the new pg's with the starters is crucial.

time is running out to setle the rotation now having to adjust with all the injuries. to have this record with the injuries we have had is remarkable

 

Johnson has shown some improvement at the 1 in the D-League. We need him out there for defense.
