ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 12/26/2013

Shaq is right. Give Dwight the damn ball.

 

I can't deny that he's done a good job on Conley. It was the other players he switched onto that got away from him a bit. He wasn't on Conley the whole night.

 

This game right here Memphis makes players like Motiejunas, Casspi, Lin irrelevant you gotta be strong and physical. We gotta have Dwight in with Randolph is in. Not having Asik or a true backup center sucks. Asik I have no respect for if not injured. Memphis is not going let unathletic horrible defensive physically weak players have open shots unless we run...

 

We are losing the game at rebounding, guys.

Nothing nor a single Rocket player had more influence than the 12 or so extra possessions Grizzlies had.

 

TNT crew telling the truth right now about Rox execution of not get Howard ball in post adequately.

 

Yeah....3 shots only for Howard. Really on Lin? Dude he's kept Conley in check for the first half.....Conley only scored 3 points on him. Hopefully, he'll score some points in the 2nd half.......Johnson is killing the Rockets.

 

I am with Shaq. I am so freakin pissed throughout the game that they don't get Dwight the ball. I swear if I was Howard, I would grab James/Lin/Parsons by the neck and tell them if they don't give him the ****ing ball he will kick their ass after the game.

 

"Throw him the ball!"

 

The difference is that for some reason these scrub players are allowed to grab and hold and flop all around the place with no penalties.

I wish we had a scrub big man just to throw out there so that he could do the same ****.

 

No effort in 1st half. I know it's a back-to-back, but they can at least try to get some rebounds. Hopefully, the intensity picks up in the 2nd half..

 

Yea but Conley has 5 points 4 assist and 1 turnover.. Lin has 2 points 0 assist and 3 turnovers while shooting 1-4... Jones is the only guy on the team to make over 3 shots from the field. That could probably be why we are down. Depends on how you look at it.

 

The TNT crew is 100% right. Dwight needs to put his teammates in there place. Those examples they just showed of guys ignoring Dwight should make the team feel ashamed. This is where Dwight needs to put the nice guy act to the side and demand the ball.

 

Add Harden and Parsons to the mix to well you.......

 

Lin didn't play well so far...turnovers...gambling on D resulted in dunk....taking quick 3. And even missing a layup.

 

We could use Camby right now if Omer is "injured"

 

Parsons and Harden handle the ball a lot and are always looking to score first. If you just let Lin be point guard I'm sure Howard would get the ball more.

 

truth be told... he should be calling the games instead of drexler.. he actually cares about the team, drexler spends most of the game talking our players down

 

They need Howard to stay out of trouble if they want to win this game. This team don't have anybody to guard inside.

 

Allstar Parsons is struggling when not being defended by Belinelli ?

 

Yeah but he has made bad decisions with defensive lapses. You can't just compare two players stats and have an idea of how the half actually went. He made horrible decisions during the Grizzles run.
