ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Cavaliers 3/22/2014

Hamilton has regressed badly. I thought he would bounce back these last three games against non-playoff teams but he still looks bad. Casspi too. Usually players play well against their former teams but Casspi couldn't get anything going.

 

With Rondo and Jeff Green we would have been better defensively too but... hey reality is and what could have been is just a dream.

 

what a transformation of the Spurs, a few years back they had one of the most boring and uncreative offense in the league, although their defense was the best.

 

lol what an awful performance

 

The Spurs have a system that makes average role players into big scoring machines. They suffocate teams with TEAM defense. They don't need superstars or athletic shotblocking to win games.

 

guys we're supposed to coast against easy teams to conserve energy...

 

I dont think there is such a thing in the NBA.

Look at the Heat.

Talent coming out of their ears.

They've lost 4 out of 6? or something that seems like that.

 

Harden didn't play in the fourth

 

I was at the game tonight, and when Harden was on the court it was a complete mismatch. Early on, he was distributing the ball and nearly had a double-double in the first quarter. When he started scoring, no one could slow him down. The only reason the Cavs got close at all is because he sat out the fourth quarter. But even then, it never felt like the Rockets were in any real danger of losing.

 

The rockets were coasting . They decided to make it a learning experience for the end of bench guys. Put harden, parsons, asik in and it's blows open again...but the cavs weren't going to win

 

You can't be watching lol Tony Parker is playing tonight. He is leading them with 16 points and 4 dimes.

 

And we did, so job well done. G'Night all!

Hard to believe we were up by 29 at that point when we only won by 7. But wow!

 

Still a good win. Third string is too undisciplined. Lin probably feels like he is playing with a DLeague team.

 

they set tremendous of successful picks.

 

Love the Cavs announcers reaction to complete Harden ignition that we've been seeing more and more in recent games. With his 3 stroke back, the man is unstoppable.

 

i am watching... when i wrote the post, patty mills was in - but still there offence showed same zip!

 

Lin playing with the bench players would be better if Asik came of the bench with him. Lin, Asik, and DMO will be a good group.

 

As bad as the Spurs are as a team, they have some good size with Verejao, Tristan Thompson, and Zeller. That front court lineup can beat a lot of teams with the right coaching. Fortunately, their coach was Mike Brown tonight.
