ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pistons 10/31/2012

He posted 6 something PER last year. He 2-guard playing in small PG body.

 

And Morris is? If it was about spreading the floor, why not play D-mo, who is the best shooting big we have. Sorry bro. I do not understand the Morris start. He's disappointing on almost every level.

 

Bill and Bull tonight on Harden:

 

one thing good about Lin he does not freak out when the going gets tough.

 

I had to stream the game since I live in dallas....so this was me too :grin:

 

You can't go deep into playoffs without a legit bench

 

Yeah? You should see my screen!

 

Our 2nd squad was atrocious tonight. I really hope our rookies can change that soon.

 

any word on Smith if hes injured?

Amazing. Also side note: Larry Bird was supposedly on his last legs w/ a terrible back in 91-92. Still put up that baller stat line. Ppl forget how good he was.

 

Had to take the little one for trick-or-treating, just finished watching the game. Wow, Harden is the muth effin truth! Worth every penny, this team will be in the playoffs, book it!

How Douglass got the backup PG role is beyond me, wish Livingston was kept. You can see in Lin's game that he's progressing as a PG. That look-off with the Def scrambling to cover Delfino, and he layed a beautiful dime to Asik. I don't think he had that pass in his game last year. Oh, and his defense is so underrated.

Parsons was oaky, shot FT's well but was reckless sometimes with his handles.

Asik, I've already said this guy is a top 5 Center in the league, he's making me look good. Only thing that can hold him back is the FT's and picking up tick-tack fouls. Smart player with great footwork.

Delfino is a great vet to have on the team. He's a cocky player, which translates well for hitting big shots. The high PnR for Harden worked so well because they were scared to leave Delfino.

Bench needs work, eff you Mchale for not playing Tjones. We should've been up 20 so my guy Royce can get into the game.

How can you not be excited after this game? Lezzgooo!

 

ESPN Showed us some love today finally. Not the usual 2 second clip. Feels good :grin: Last player to put up those type of numbers on The Rockets? THE DREAM! Today it was THE BEARD!

 

I would rather give him a bus ticket out of Houston.

 

ESPN on the Lin-Harden Connection:

 

OMFG I can't believe I miseed this game. Curse you work and mid-terms

 

I have to rewatch the 4th quarter, just unbelievable how valuable Harden is, just incredible.

I mean there is some serious super star potential in this kid. Smart and smooth as a motherfuker...especially running at the basket...my god

 

From what I saw, not much to be excited about. With the Harden signing, the Rockets officially has the best and most expensive 2nd Unit Bench Starters in the league.

Against a GOOD team, lets see how it goes. They played a bunch of piston rookies and almost got beat.

 

Get out

 

douglas' atrocious. Not sure why we kept him....

 

You should crawl back to that rock you hide under in OKC, rookie.
