ClutchFans Game Thread: Magic @ Rockets 10/16/2013 (PRESEASON)

Get to see Cannan get some serious minutes tonight hopefully. I don't want to see Brooks, I know what he has to offer.

 

Yes, it gets you wonder if there is another reason besides jet lag. Harden and Howard are probably under the weather too. Shouldn't the team let them rest since they are obviously more important to the Rockets?

 

Is it worth watching a game without Lin and Parsons....hnnnn

 

So Lin and Parsons missing tonight, together?! Hmmmm.. Hahahaha

 

Well at least we get to see Brooks shine again

 

This should be interesting. Hope Jeremy feels better soon... these guys have to be exhausted.

 

PB going for 20 pts !!..lol

 

Hopefully Canaan can put up his first points lol.

 

hell yea !!...D12 and Harden

 

Who's freaking out? Btw, Pacers also doing same thing. Read this morning that Hill, PG, Hibbert, and West were out for their game tonight also.

 

I hope D12 and James PnR the Magic to death tonight

 

The Garcia/Casspi connection would be interesting to watch. Garcia and Delfino had really great chemistry together.

 

I didn't mean everyone, just some people who are sure to read into all of this in an unnecessary fashion. And yeah, lots of teams do this, it's not some indictment of future starting lineups and whatnot, but we'll probably see a lot of that discussion.

 

No reason to read into it any more than you need to. There isn't some conspiracy or ulterior motive behind every move.

 

Just saw all the important starters faces. Dwight and Harden should be resting this game. They and Lin/Parsons look really tired.

 

Pretty easy.

Are you a Rockets fan? If so, then yes it is worth it.

 

Gotcha! It's not the garm if it's too level-headed

 

ag3ntgandhi, don't read too much into my post. I am just having the same concern of sleepyazn. I think the coaches would like to give Harden and Howard some rest too. Rather than conspiracy, I am thinking there must be a reason that they don't. My guess is the coaches want to test more lineups to determine the 9-10 man rotation.

 

I doubt harden and Howard play THAT much. I'm sure the coaches just understand that their relationship is the most important one on the court. We need them to be clicking together.

 

I think that's understandable. I made the same comment about resting Harden and Howard (they've looked tired in their interviews). As I've mentioned, the Pacers are also resting their starters tonight. But our next game is Monday so I guess it's cool too if Harden and Howard play tonight. Probably in minimum minutes too. Also, sounds like Lin was slotted to play, but is taking a sick night off.
