ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 10/19/2015 (PRESEASON)

Scrubs gonna scrub

 

I mean this guy was the #1 scorer/1a option on the Kings in 2010/2011. Getting someone of his talent off the bench for cheap is a genius move by Morey.

The dude is only 28.

 

Man can't wait for the season to start. Rox are soooo loaded and they know it

 

I'm praying Harden is putting up tons of shots in the gym and working on that shot cause I have a feeling the refs are not going to be giving him the respect he got last season.

Just a feeling...

 

That's what preseason is for though... to try and scrub out the scrubbiness.

 

It's just you.

And bmd wants to sex the man.

lol

Harden and Lawson is going to be scary good.

Capela is going to be a major contributor.

Ariza had another great game.

Thornton had a monster game off the bench. Our bench will be top 3 this season.

 

Jason Terry looks damned incredible. McHale may not manage to keep him buried on the bench, even though there's not theoretical room for a Jason Terry in the rotation.

Fun game, the Pelicans were going pretty hard and the Rockets answered well in the second half. Our depth looks spectacular.

 

Oooo me wantsa da high lites

 

Or he's emulating Mutombo style in more ways than just the finger wag.

 

I had class tonight and missed the game. Can anyone share where I can possibly watch it online somewhere? I would really appreciate it.

 

I got in my truck to go to work, Rockets down 11 late in the third.

Arrive at work, Rockets win by 20.

Where's all the doomsayers?

 

Eh, good finish but this preseason has been pretty discouraging thus far. Hopefully we get everyone for the last game Friday.

Can't tell who I'd prefer for backup 2 minutes - Terry or Thornton. Thornton clearly is more of a volume shooter with the ability to give you 20, Terry seems more efficient and consistent.

Defense is so bad I hope to God it's just a lack of effort. Trying really hard not to overreact here but last year our defense looked so much better in preseason from what I remember.

Harden's 3 looks off but not worried.

Ty is awesome, want him to keep attacking and be aggressive.

And remember Brewer wasn't playing which is why Ariza was out there so much.

 

No homerism, please. How did Capela and Montrezl look, especially Montrezl?

 

very good. Capela had another double double and Montrezl brought some of his summmer league to the game..dunks and all

 

Montrezl had 1 reb in 20+ mins play.

 

The stats don't show the impact he had. He's a beast.

 

and 13 pts 1 blk 1 asst +/- ratio 20% 2nd highest on the team this eve

 

If you are mildly, even MILDLY, worried about James Harden's shooting, or his offense in general, then you are insane.

 

Harden always starts the season off from the 3 pt line.

 

Lol true this shouldn't come as a huge shocker. His MO since joining Houston has been start slow with his FG% and tear it up just before the all star break and finish strong.

Not worried at all
