ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 4/6/2013

1. Had this one penciled in as a loss
2. Nuggets always win at home. Almost always.
3. Schedule loss, back to back.
4. Thin air, our players not acclimated, especially Asik.
5. Chandler out, Delfino sick.
6. Our team really tried hard; worth something
7. I like this team, they compete.

 

Don't confuse people with a solid post, Solid. It flips them out.

 

Nuggets are deep and pencil them into the Western Conference finals.

 

The only way that scenario become reality is they don't face the Rockets in the first round.

 

Nope. I think OKC, SAS and the Grizzlies would kill them. Then again I think they would kill anyone not in the aforementioned 3.

 

Just cause Parsons looks good doesn't mean he's that good XD

It never ceases to amaze me how much we underrate Omer. His presence on court is the difference between a top defensive team and the absolute worst defensive team.

IMHO, no Harden we might be able to cover the scoring gap. No Omer = no def.

 

Lin has eclipsed Parsons lately, especially with Parsons out:

1) Harden
2) Asik
3) Lin
4) Parsons

 

he had less shots than usual because he got taken out in the early/mid part of third period. but many of the shots he missed were long shots and threes. many of those misses led to fast breaks the other way at the most inopportune times.

 

You say he needs to trust the team if his shots not falling, he took three three's. How is he going to know if his shot isn't falling if he doesn't shoot?

 

How does Lin eclipse Parsons when Parsons isn't playing. Not that I think we should be ranking or own players. We're clearly worse even when we lose Delfino and we all know the flak he has taken some games.

 

Here's my ranking of importance of this team. Not ranking of talent of this team.
1. Asik
2. Harden
3. Lin
4. Parson


5. whoever plays the 4

Without Asik, opposite team would abuse us inside and we would have lost a lot more games. Of course Harden being the best putting the ball in the basket. We need Lin to facilitate. Not saying Harden doesn't know how to run offense but he usually look for his shot first and when he's cold, his volume shooting could hurt the team. Parson is the guy who usually get the duty gaurding opposite team's best scorers. And he's also very good slasher/cutter. However without him, I don't see we much drop off because Harden and Lin could just find other open players. Finally our PF is the most useless and inconsistent position. Smith and Jones have been pretty good. I hope McHale keeps giving them more min.

 

Here's my ranking of irrelevantcy of the team. 1. McHale 2. Royce White 3. Clyde Drexler as a commentator

 

People might want to remember Parson is on the receiving end of Harden and Lin, I seldom see him create his own shot. I wonder what his stats looks like comparing assisted points and non assisted points. I doubt Parson could be nearly as effective if Harden was not able to draw double team and give him space and Lin didn't get him those fast break points.

 

REPPED!:grin:
