ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pacers 12/20/2013

Biggest win of the season so far, if we get the victory.
Go Rockets

 

Chill. It's just one game.
We don't have to strut them out when they are not healthy in order to reinjure themselves

 

we do if we want home court and want to get far. The path you take in the playoffs really matters.

 

In the shootaround interview, Lin sounded like he can't play in a game. Said he can shoot but wasn't in shape to play defense or penetrate to the hoop.

 

This is going to be a good game...let's see how the Rockets(imo are contenders) match up against another contender

 

No Asik tomorrow... didn't even travel, according to Feigen. :-/

This game is going to be the toughest test. Indiana has the best defense in the league, and I fear the flaws in our offense are going to be exposed.

On defense we need to make sure Harden guards Stephenson, switching Parsons to George.

Early Dwight needs to be active in the pnr to get Hibbert away from the paint and slow him down. Then use his quickness in the post.

 

No Lin and No Asik. This is going to be an L unless the Pacers completely implode.

 

we win, if Pistons could do it, we can too. Harden drops 35

 

Yes you are right to a point. Keeping everyone healthy for the playoffs is far more important. I hope we do win though. But seeding this year is going to be tricky with matchups.

 

I think we match up really well with Pacers. I expect a good close game.

 

We will win by 8 points.

 

Has he been sent home for disciplinary reasons?

 

Lin is in Indy, someone tweeted a picture with him there. But I'm sure he brought a suit with him. He's doubtful for tomorrow night.

 

You missed out on his injury. Still not healthy.
Well you might think it's a phantom one.....

 

Lin needs to rest up until he's comfortable on the court.

 

Any news on Harden? He'd said his ankle was sore after last night's game... I think he said someone came down on it during the first quarter.

 

That's just his opinion...

 

Asik needs to get healthy and grab 10 rebounds in 18 minutes every game to re-up his trade value.
