ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 11/30/2013

Why Lin has the same stats as Dragic?

 

I was thinking the same thing Even the turnovers are about the same per 36 min. Side-grade for the sake of it?

 

It's kind of funny, but it Looked like Parsons was going to kiss the ground after that great dunk. Didn't know he was injured.

 

Harden's last quarter was epic!Puts the notion we are better without him to shame. What I liked was we took the Spurs best shot and gave them one better. That is character building win. This could give us that self beliefe that we can truly match it with anyone.

 

that was uncalled from him but tbh you have been making posts that might have lead him to believe there was a slight

 

he shoots 85% or whatever, just a bad night of ft's. it happens

 

San Antonio Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich:

(On the Spurs play down the stretch…)

“What part of down the stretch? There is a lot...one minute, four minutes. What do you want?”

(On the Spurs in the final two minutes…)

“The whole final two minutes. I don’t think I can do that for you. Can you be a little more specific? I’d be happy to answer all of your questions, but I am not going to do the whole two minutes.”

(On the explanation of the foul call on James Harden instead of Dwight Howard…)

“Their (referees) explanation was nobody saw it.”

 

I couldn't watch the game, but watching this clip of the final minutes makes me appreciate what Howard brings to the team.

He tips the ball to give the Rockets an extra possession which leads to Harden's game-tying 3, then runs back on defense to bother Tony Parker just enough to make him miss.

Give credit to all the guys, especially Harden and Beverley, but this sequence of plays is anchored by Howard's fantastic presence in the paint. Love it.

 

NBA.com highlights :grin:

Great win, didn't watch the game because of my work . judging on box score , only thing i don't like it's everyone except Asik and Garcia got more shots than Howard, 6 attempts seems too little for the big man.

 

Well said. When he got that offensive rebound to set up harden's 3 i thought to myself: "that's why we signed D12".

 

LOL these refs were out to get us but we fought through those BS calls and came out victorious.

This team is the real freaking deal.

 

Talking about keeping it real. The man does that.

 

I can't believe the amount of **** Pop gets away with. I mean it's absolutely ridiculous that he isn't reprimanded. Between him and Duncan looking like someone got shot every time a whistle is called, I really can't stand the spurs.

Great win.

 

what you dont understand is that this is only one game... how many games we lost because of his terrible defence?

what use is to win one game if by not playing defence and by forcing iso you spoil the chemistry and ball movement, causing stagnant offence and terrible defense in several games...

 

****ing bull**** that auburn won that game & now sportcenter won't play our highlights. -.-

 

Harden is absolutely necessary to this team, period. Yeah, his hero ball can be a bit much. Yeah, his foul-seeking can get annoying. Yeah, his defense frequently blows. But at the end of the day, he can put this team on his back and get it done when he needs to. I'm betting on him 10 times out of 10, for better or worse.

What is pissing me off more than it should is the fact that NBA.com's nightly highlights say the Rockets "snapped a 7-game losing streak tonight." In fact, the video description says: "The Jazz get their first road win, the Rockets snap their losing streak and the rest of the NBA action from Saturday night. Visit nba.com/video for more highlights."

I am so annoyed lol.

 

Are you seriously implying Harden lost more games for the Rockets than he helped win?

Guess people like you can't even give it a rest in arguably one of the biggest regular season victories in the last few seasons.

 

In addition to Harden's scoring, I love his passing game... really good timing / execution of his passing, it's a real bonus.

 

yeah i watched a whole episode and its nothing but football BS
