ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 11/18/2017

Calvin says 21-22 minutes maybe

 

They should be scared of parsons recruitment skills

 

Yeah their announcers admitted the pj and Paul one as bad calls. These guys and the Pacers announcers are really fabulous.

And a fresher Harden in 4th Quarters and Playoffs. Paul only needs 28 MPG, so he's fresh and avoiding injury.

 

Just caught up, Paul and Harden have looked really good on the court together, but we got that big lead when CP3 was in by himself against the Grizzlies 2nd unit.

That is the difference in this game, and will be the difference in a lot of games in the future.

We were able to weather their run because of that lead and hopefully we can open up another big lead in the 2nd half.

 

And he's still what? 12 or 14 already?

Lift the restriction. It's a bone bruise, not back surgery.

SIL

 

Is that you DD

 

I bet he plays if needed. He looks like he is fine

 

Na @SirIvyLeague is yoked.

 

If feel we would do much better if we sit harden for this game and let cp3 dissect them

 

The issue now is not having a fatigue related injury because his oxygen delivery system can't handle the pace yet.

He's gotta build up the minutes to get his fitness level right. He hasn't played in a pace offense like this before.

 

So the rockets backcourt trio Is a combined 9/18 on threes for a whopping 38 points and 9 assist at the half.

A few brain farts here and there but this teams ceiling is very very high.

And there is a noticeable difference on the defensive side of the ball when Tucker and LMM are in the game.

Those guys are the stoppers for this team.

 

Seriously, it's a bone bruise..if he tore his ACL, had like structural back issues, hip, or even feet sure ease him in.

We need him in game shape. I'd play him 40 a night for the next 3-4 games, then taper him back to where he should be at around 30-32.

That's nice that @what decided not to spam the garm during the game this time

 

Just noticed Conley isn't playing

 

They're hustlers. PJs hustle is legit Bev like but bigger.

SIL

 

I'd make him play the whole game then I'd send him to jazzercise class right after

 

He's a pro, he'll figure it out. We're all athletes here.

SIL

 

It's not whether it's Harden or CP3, its having one of them going up against second stringers who aren't used to defending superstars.

This is the benefit you get from being able to stagger superstars minutes.

 

It's funny cause in Phoenix, he went to do cardio straight after leaving the game.
