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

I don't blame ZBo. I think the refs were really bad tbh.

 

LOL. Howard and Dmo had 5 fouls each.

 

How about Lin's Defense the last 2 games

Lin 37 minutes
Mike Conley 38 minutes, 4-14, 28 FG%


Lin 34 minutes
Tony Parker 31 minutes, 3-11, 27 FG%


Tony Parker and Mike Conley are top 10 starting PGs in the NBA. Parker might be the best (I say CP3 is the best) PG in the league with a finals MVP, all star, all nba, top 10 in the league in MVP race many years.

 

Dude was getting FT's even when he was throwing elbows and forearm shoves. Still wants to complain about the biased reffing.

 

These same refs gave Dwight 5 quick fouls. Howard was gone you couldn't dominate late in the game when you got your chance stfu and realize y'all are missing Mark Gasol.

 

Harden played great D tonight! Can't believe no one mentioned it.

 

Never said anything bad about Harden today. I think he did a good job with how tight the Grizzlies were playing him.

 

I missed the game, what'd D-mo do?

 

If Lin keeps playing like the last two games, Beverly will be his back up.

 

So happy for Dmo!

 

I think if no one complains about Harden's D, then he played great D. Plus people are spelling his name normally. :grin:

 

Harden manufactured at least half of the calls with his unparalleled flailing talent, but it takes two to tango (or three, as it were). We've definitely seen other nights where the officials are considerably less indulgent -- and there goes Harden's crutch. I guess this is the "human element" to the game that Battier so deeply treasures.

"When we lose Harden is always like "we" need to get better. When we win and Harden plays well it's always "I" had it going tonight."

 

Jeremy Lin's reverse lay ups were absolutely beautiful. Especially the one in the 2nd quarter.

 

But do they compare with Asik's???

 

Harden only made 3 made free throws in the Spurs game, and he had 28 points.

 

You call it a crutch, most knowledgeable basketball fans would call it a weapon.

 

Blocked a Conley floater and ran to the other end of the floor to jam it in hard and permanently give the Rockets' momentum. It was glorious. Other than that, I thought he boxed out Zach pretty well. He was called for some silly fouls and got bullied in the post but he delivered when it mattered the most.

 

I couldn't watch the game tonight, so I cannot comment on it. However, Harden played beautifully against Spurs.

I think Harden is at his best when he is not forcing for the foul and actually trying to score. Come to think of it, Lin is at his best when he is thinking of scoring first and not forcing the pass.

We should create a fund for therapy sessions for these two, in case they regress and go back to their old ways. :grin:

 

Why do you even bother?
