ClutchFans Game Thread: Hornets @ Rockets 1/2/2013

I think the pace was just to control their energy with the upcoming back to back.

 

See this thread in feedback.

Any chance we can go back to post game threads?

Thanks holly1985, gate470 and all. Nice to see that in some way those reviews are helpful.

I can't start threads yet, since I'm new here, but I think they are proper placed on the game thread anyway. But I'll keep posting whenever I can, and try to contribute in the best possible way.

 

On the little youtube espn recaps they put up, they called Ppat Patrick Peterson.

 

Great post-game analysis as always.

BTW, Harden dished out 7 assists tonight, just like Lin. It wouldn't be fair to say Lin was the only PG out there without giving Harden at least some credit.

 

After Stephen A. Smith publicly declared he's never heard of Chandler Parsons, this doesn't surprise me anymore.

 

Shuh, you're my favorite new poster. I don't have the ability to watch games, but your post games give me a good sense of what went down, along with the few highlights we get here and there.

 

just got home from the game...awesome game tonight even though it shouldnt have been that close

wrong copy&paste.

 

always love your posts and want to echo with the agreement that you should start a post-game thread with these thoughts!

 

Agreed, harden has to receive credit.

Perhaps I should rephrase that as: Lin was the most fit point guard out there for the halfcourt game. Harden has really incredible vision and passing skills, and that makes him dish a lot of assists. However, I think most of them are from a shooting guard position, when he drives to the basket and dishes, or catches it on top to shoot and attracts a defender away from the paint. Obviously, that is playmaking skills, sure.

That being said, when it comes to moving the ball to keep it flowing, hockey passes (that leads to a subsequent assist) or making the proper third pass before an assist or point, which is a pure PG assignment, I really think Lin was the only one tonight doing that. So, this is what I meant saying Lin was the only PG out there.

Harden is our best player and his assists are really important and prolific. He has playmaking skills and vision that can make him carry the PG job in a transition game, or fast paced environment. But neither him nor TD are a fit PG for a halfcourt setting, in my opinion, when the ball has to move to the right direction towards the finish 2 or 3 passes ahead. Harden usually finishes himself or makes the final assist, one of the two.

 

TD guarding his shadow? :grin:

 

Must be! lol

 

lin play good in defense if you see the game

.i hope you see the whole game.

 

Ew , I got worried when he went back to the locker room without knowing exactly what happened to him, good thing it was just his nose.
Man, that nose has been taking a beating

 

This is why stats can be meaningless at times. Please watch the game next time before posting.

 

I feel bad for Lin.

But Delfino makes me lol

 

Seems like Harden is a better playmaker that most of us thought.
