ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 4/12/2013

NO LAW SAYS THAT YOU MISS THREE BUT YOUR CHANCE OF FOUR WIL BE HIGH EITHER.

 

Moral victories are fine for such a young team that isn't in contention status.

 

Foul situtation looks pretty weird in the Utah-Minny game also...League must want the Lakers at #7 so they can play OKC in the first round

 

loljazz might blow it against the wolves lol

 

Not trying to bash Harden or nothing, but 7-24 shooting, he should NOT get Landry's player of the game award. Jeez. 7-24???? 8 TOS....LOL!

 

Delfino: 3 shots in 15 minutes = 0.20 shots/min
Beverley: 3/23 = 0.13
Dmo: 6 (5 shots + 2 free throws)/7 = 0.83
TJones: 7/28 = .25
Smith: 5 (3 shots + 4 free throws)/21 = .24
Asik: 9 (8 shots + 2 free throws)/34 = .26
Garcia: 8/22 = .36
Lin: 16 (13 shots + 6 free throws)/45 = .36
Harden: 31 (24 shots + 14 free throws)/44 = .70

Dmo and Harden shot way too much this game. Surprisingly, Delfino wasn't up there.

 

I wish people would stop setting up straw men to yell at. No one here (except maybe a handful of trolls) is blaming Harden for taking the last shot.

 

And without Parsons who can go crazy some nights.

Yeah, I don't think there are many Rocket fans terrified of playing the Grizzlies when the other options are the Spurs, Thunder, or Nuggets.

 

Good job.:grin:

 

Yeah we all know that you need to hit at least 3 shots before it's considered having a hot hand.

Spoiler

 

Glass is half full? We held them to 33 points in the second half.

 

I agree with you. Regardless he's wide open or not he is determine to take the hero shot. Good game all, goodnight!

 

al jefferson 40 pts today

 

Nobody's arguing the last shot. The previous possessions the shots Harden took were not the best option, as he had open teammates. I don't see how taking a contested 3 is better than passing to a teammate for an open one.

Kobe always did and still does the same thing. Would rather take a fadeaway 3 pointer with a triple team on him than pass. Wins games sometimes but loses them most of the time. Harden seems to be in a similar mold/mindset.

Of all the end game situations in close contests this season, Rockets have lost way more than won using nothing but Harden ISO down the final stretch.

 

30 points on 24 shots is great.

8 turnovers is not ideal, but what can you do.

 

D-mo's confidence is shot right now man.

 

Surprisingly? The dude's been spending pretty much the entire last week in bed. I know you can't see it on your stream, but the dude has lost some weight. He wasn't comfy with his shot and was reluctant to take it.

 

Tell that to Steve Kerr

 

Alot of BB players believe in the hot hand even though its not been mathematically verified.
What has been mathematically verified is that open three pointers have a higher chance of going in then contested three pointers.

 

I started reading after the half so I may have missed some. I did see a few though. It's the hate going both ways that makes me shake my head. You'd think fights would be breaking out in the stands and the sports bars at this rate.
