Does Jones ever pass the ball in this game?

 

He had a nice alley oop pass to Dwight for a dunk. I think it was his first possession in the game.

 

He had three assist.

 

Did anybody notice all the David Bowie music played in the FedEx Arena tonight? Nice job, Memphis.

 

Best win of the year, no doubt. I hope we will succeed in incorporating Lawson off the bench, and getting a healthy D-Mo back in a month.

 

But I really like those stepback 3s from Harden.

 

I was kind of gobsmacked by it, actually. And they looked like they were enjoying playing even.

 

They be clownin Harden on NBA Tv even after wins

 

I loved the game tonight, I'm still nervous about everyone's minutes when Lawson comes back. On one hand you have to keep trying with Lawson, and on the other hand can you push Brewer or Thornton out of the rotation? You can't play too many of Lawson harden and Thornton together, and Brewers game has improved, damn tough decisions. I say throw Thornton in and let him crank some shots if they fall keep him in and of not put Brewer in lol

 

as much as i liked this win, it's hard to lose when shooting 18-35 from 3, bit of fool's gold there.

 

Subtle stat increases.

Ariza is 1% off from last seasons FG% and has already caught up to his last seasons 3pt% (40, 35%)

Howard averaging 14, 12, 1.5 blocks, 1 steal and 61 FG%

Jones has his FT% up to nearly 70% WOW + is is keeping up his good 3pt %

Terry percentages are looking good at 44/37/80

Thornton balling averaging 11 points in just 20 mpg, such baller.

 

Dwight Howard pat yourself on the back, because you played one heck of a defensive game today. Corey brewer what did you do to yourself??

 

What happened to the good, obedient Thornton?He is calling out JBB and now he is barking Howard to set a screen. Lol

 

He had a good game off the bench (16 pts in 15 mins, 50% FG, 3/5 from 3) so I'm okay with it.

 

Case solved. I feel bad for McHale.

 

I love it!!!

Wow I'm impressed with this win even with Conley out. They are still a very good team without him. I thought TJ would sink but the brother swam. The whole team except Capela seems to be doing well. Glad we are making our shots and play some defense. Keep it up and win tonight or else this doesn't mean much.

 

This^^^ That dude has dementia or something. It's not funny to me it's kinda sad.

 

Great win by the Rockets. They did everything I was hoping they would do. Dwight demanded the ball. He did lose his temper and get a couple of stupid fouls which he needs to grow up and stop doing. Harden played solid D and made some good decisions with the ball he was struggling with the 3 but he didn't take too many. TJ was good almost reminded of how he played before he got injured last year. I hope he can keep it up. Brewer is gonna Brewer but as long as he can hit a couple of timely shots its not as painful to watch him play basketball. I still think Brew needs to go and the jury is still out on TJ. Lawson also seems not to be needed and maybe can be traded for something of value.

 

i think we're all forgetting though that MEM was without their best player in conley
