ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 12/22/2012

Rumor has it Lin will be adding an Iverson crossover to his game ...can't wait

 

the key is Harden for this game....he doesn't do well against that Memphis player...i forget his name....

 

Z-Bo is my favorite player to player with on 2K.

Here's to a good one.

 

Today is the day to play with Asik in 5 and Greg Smith in 4 against the Griz

 

lol blasphemy. AI's crossovers can never be replicated. Only few today come even remotely close. See CP3, Jamal Crawford, D-Wade. Still though, no contest.

Iverson = GOAT ankle breaker

 

wouldn't be surprised in the least to see that. Memphis has the best front-court in the league, and I don't think it's close.

 

he was my favorite player...I agree many have tried and none are better.

 

Minnesota has a great front court as well. Definitely just as good if not better.

 

Would be nice if he could... lol...

 

so much fun to watch. yeah, him and Penny Hardaway were my favorite growing up, too.

 

meh. don't get wrong, I'm as big as a Pek fan as they come. Defensively, yes. Offensively, I give the edge Memphis. I think Love might be a little overrated as he is the cover child in the NBA for stat-padding, but that's neither here or there. Love the addition of AK47. One of those "do it all" players like Toni Kukoc, Boris Diaw & Lamar Odom before he got all fat and fell off the Kardashian deep end.

 

We need red rowdies at the game....whatever happened to them?

 

K Love is legit... Put up 28 points 11 boards and dropped 7 dimes last night against OKC. The reason Minnesota isn't doing better is because their guards suck.

 

Westbrook shot 9-28 and scored 30 points and he also had 9 assist and 8 turnovers... He almost had a triple double. Lol...

People call Sam P a genus... If he was smart he would have traded Westbrook and kept Harden.

 

Love and Pekocic score more points than Zach and Marc but they have the edge rebounding.

 

That would be lethal. Lin has such a quick first step. If he could get his defender to move a few inches one way, he could blow right by them going the other way.

 

They're up there, especially when you factor in the great season AK47 has been having so far.

We really haven't seen the Rockets struggle against frontcourt size, however, as they move the ball and initiate the offense too quickly for a loping defender to matter much.

In past games against Memphis, the key factor has always been the pressure the Grizzlies' perimeter defenders are able to exert on the Rockets' ballhandlers.

It's going to be arguably the best perimeter defender in basketball in Tony Allen guarding Harden again tonight, and it's not like Jeremy Lin would have an easy time against a steals leader like Mike Conley.

Will not be pretty.

 

Rockets 103, Grizzlies 98

 

Being in the 7th seed in the Western Conference and being the youngest team in the NBA and only being together as a unit no longer than 2 months is simply incredible!!!

 

Last time down Jerryd Bayless shut Lin down. We're not gonna win if that happens again.
