ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 2/14/2012

Worst 1st half of the season.
They are playing no defense.

 

Memphis playing like they don't care but just care a little bit more than houston

 

I'm used to it by now, since it happens every single game. The opposing team gets the ticky tack touch fouls, and the Rockets get hammered with no whistle. Maybe they would get more calls if they cut back on the obvious flops, but you see other teams who are flop-crazy and they get the benefit of the whistle.

 

Our team is such a freakin tease, it drives me crazy!

 

Wasn't that Pargo he flopped on.

 

went down like the bowling pin he is

 

He wasn't guarding Conley on that play, he was guarding Jeremy Pargo.

 

or rudy is just that good, despite the officials.

 

the rockets defense is ridiculous... nba player make open shots most of the time.

 

They've been making every fadeaway, three point, prayers after contact, etc. Same thing happened against Warriors

 

Jeremy Lin is looking good again.

 

yeah. seriously wtf???

 

Rudy is a very good NBA player, but you'll hardly ever see it posted by some on this board. Since the Rockets traded his rights for Shane Battier.

 

Rockets are not athletic enough

 

BS, people whine about Gay way more than he's earned on this board for that exact reason. He's not that great. He's a good roleplayer and that's all.

 

Huh? He's deserved to go to the line maybe one more time than he already has. He's made some great shots against some decent defense, and he's made some easy shots against sub-par defense.

 

Lin has 7 turnovers tonight.

 

getting killed by jump shots has nothing to do with athleticism

 

When the rockets play defense they play defense in too much of a fundamental way and not in a way to throw off the rhythm of athletic players. Trying to throw a players balance off without fouling them is better than putting your hands up hoping they will miss.

 

Uhhh..... He'd be the best player on this team.
