ClutchFans Game Thread: Knicks @ Rockets 12/31/2016

what a way to ring in the new year! harden is god

 

The Knicks suck ass. Harden is a god.

 

I believe U.S. has the worst media.

 

Jennings back to back threes and a bunch of putbacks by the Knicks bigs had a lot to do with the roaring back. That and the Rockets went cold for a bit from three during the same time.

 

Yep 4th best record in the league style of play

 

Now that's the way you bring in the New Years James Harden and the Rockets.


Happy New Years my Rockets Family.

 

Reverend james. Even dressed like a man of god.

 

Epic night should have been 55 pts but he short armed that dunk.

Yeah, believe it. Rose, Noah, Jennings, all the way down the bench to the towel boy to Phil Jackson. Theyre some of the best basketball players And organizations in the world. This is the NBA after all, even the small fish in this pond have guys that are unbelievably good. Felton was as hot as fire last night. The young man whose name I won't attempt to butcher tonight. He was splashing down and making it close for a second. But for as hard as they had to work to get within five, the Rockets kept the chains moving until it was time for them to strike again. Maybe something for HEYPARTNER to do, if he's willing...see what's the fastest time they've put up fifteen points, twenty, twenty five. They hit absolute burners about twice a game that are amazing.

As for style, sure, live by the three, die by it. Doing an awful lot of living these days lol...I would say to that, it's a game of runs. You return serve when you can, work to mitigate runs against you and hopefully break it open once a half. The last two games, they've had one first half run....one against them somewhere in the middle and put another one on before the end. That's their game, I believe.

 

You know what's crazy, any of the 3 is an epic night. 53 points OR 17 assists OR 16 rebounds. Any one would be a good night at the office for most guys.

Harden put it in like that and you know what? He still can do better. He going to top calvins 57 one of these days. 20 assist game coming for sure, there is no limit really. Beast.

 

plus he did it on a tail end of a back to back (30-13-10 previous night)

 

Yep I thought he would break Murphy's record of 57.

 

Harden is such a beast. Glad to have him on our team and to finish the year out strong!

 

Rockets can build big leads and lose them pretty quick too. Great season no doubt, just observations on my end on the nature of an offense reliant on the 3

 

Amazing performance by James Harden.

 

I still have e a feeling Harden will break Calvin Murphy's record for points in Rockets history sometime soon.
