ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 3/20/2014

There is a stretch of the game when he had a few TO and we're losing. I'd sure complain hard if we lost because of that. Now that we won so no more complaint. :grin:

 

It isn't coincidence that the Rockets will win roughly 10 more games this season than last. Howard is the better player.

 

Very solid all round win. Happy D-Mo had a big game.

 

Yes you're right bro ! he's gotten better with decision making this year so I think defense will be the next thing that happens next year. Then he's easily top 3 player with durant & LBJ

 

Really, really, really hate I had to sell this game... will watch later tonight and enjoy the warm feelings. Box score tells the story of a balanced attack / unselfish basketball, which is always awesome to watch.

If you're in here b****ing after a game like this, please log off and step away for a bit.

 

Is Harden elite?

 

This is my only question. I was on a flight for most of the 2nd half, but it looked like Harden was in the game long after the win was secure.

 

Beautiful, beautiful, dominate game by our Red Nation Rocket Boyz.

 

If Lin and James Harden are the same player, putting up identical production and have identical impact on the court, then that argument would make sense.

 

I think the Wolves got within 14 points mid 4th quarter on a 6-0 run and we called a time-out. Maybe they injected Harden so we could secure the game and gain some garbage time for the bench players.

 

The Wolves made a push and cut our 20 point lead to around 11. So McHale kept Harden in.

 

Yeah but Harden defends.

 

bwhahahahah minor upgrade are you serious. Man please

 

We were outside looking in last year without Howard. We are in the hunt for 3rd even higher right now. 15 games better at this point compared to last year. Minor upgrade?

 

Actually, young kobe (when he played with shaq) was more of a team player who COULD score big when needed. It was only after shaq left that kobe wanted to prove himself that he started winning scoring titles and jacking up shots while gasol and bynum waited for the rebound

 

Harden is such a superior player and has to playmake. Lin does not have the ball in his hands that often and according to lin fans he's not really the point guard yet he does the dumbest turnovers. That's the difference.

 

Hardens average game like today would be considered linsanity to u guys. Don't compare a king to a pawn

 

Harden has matured, Beverly is defending and Jones is balling too. The improvement in the win column shouldn't be counted on Howard alone.
I think Howard is more than a minor upgrade though.

 

Been nice seeing last years style of basketball being played these last two games.

 

Lin has highest assist efficiency among PGs, he is a "high risk high reward" guy.

He will always has low AST/TO ratio, if you wanna compare Lin's AST/TO to a median level assist efficiency guy, use this: AST/(TO-1)
