ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/2/2016

And didn't we lost a couple of games(ATL, JAZZ) where the opponent was on b2b and we were resting.

 

Yeah, it's funny how sometimes the team on a b2b comes out with more energy and hustle than the rested team.

 

If Harrell doesn't play tonight I'm going to freak out

 

actually I'm guessing Harden comes out flat tonight but finds something of a rhythm in the second half

 

This is a game where our depth will need to step up...

Oh and....

Panda.

 

Vegas has the Nuggets at 5 pt favorites. Duder is thinking about putting some money on this one man.

 

I think we're gona lose this one too. They did us wrong with this back to back.

 

it's not like the schedule makers knew we would play a double OT game... if this was an east coast game you would have an argument

 

It's hilarious how a win tonight after would actually be more impressive than last night's win. Double OT the night before a game in Denver altitude, gonna be miserable.

 

Yeah but they're like Denver man, and we're not going to let them dictate the basketball. MAYBE, we win this one before halftime?

Smoke on Clutchfans!

 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They owned the Rockets last year so it's not as if it would be a breeze if it wasn't on the tail end of a back-to-back. I can see them getting crushed early, then making a slight comeback late in the 3rd, only to end up losing by 12-18 points.

 

Do we play home games or not even?

 

Meh, is Toyota Center much of a home court advantage? I would say not even.

 

That's because it's too laid back, Dude

 

I know man. But its not the right kind of laid back, its like the opposite kind. ALMOST like people who buy these tickets think they're going to an insurance seminar so they wait till the last moment to go.

Duder would go to these games if they let me in with my vape and PJ.s. Not even a concealed gun or anything like that.

 

It's funny how I was scared last night when Harden was supposed to return to the game in the 4th and the reserves were doing just fine.

 

Still changing time zones in the wrong direction.

 

Anyone notice how MDA has been alternating playing time for Nene and Harrell? Rarely puts Harrell in when Nene is active, then he'll rest Nene and Harrell eats up the minutes. I hope this changes after the GS win. Harrell is a tremendous competitor and needs to be part of the daily rotation

 

Give rest to the vets or decrease the minutes. Play Harrell and Dekker heavy minutes.

Just keep it close. Let Harden finish out game.

 

It's not just the crowd... which is probably still helpful... and of course the opposing team doesn't get the benefit of their crowd... it's getting a few days at home... sleeping in your own bed.... not traveling if you have 2 or 3 at home in a row... It means something.
