ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 4/6/2014

Got dayum what a statline for Asik:
http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400490026

12 & 17 w 2 blocks 6-8 fts & a +/- of +19

 

This thread probably isn't the best place to dissect the Rockets offense.

The main issue is what do we do when we're facing Elite defenses that are ALSO long, athletic, and very fast. IE, Clippers, OKC and Miami. That's where our offense has historically had issues.

 

Yeah he will easily get a 10$mil contract

Hope he goes for 30 rebs

 

Our second quarter doubled the Pacers first half LOLOL.

 

Omer Asik with a great 1st half.

 

Feel sorry for the Nuggets though... half their team is missing

 

you hit it exactly that is what makes you so upset with the rox, we play great against the spurs and portland, the warriors are quick though but we tend to play ok against them but the clips and okc when westbrook is playing omg.....

 

asik should play 35 minutes.Come on mchale. i wanna see 25 rebounds.

 

I've seen enough, Asik > Howard.

 

Wow, Asik with 17 rebounds at half - that's ridiculous. Not watching, just following the score - Canaan seems to have found his stroke - I was worried with Harden and Lin stuck at 2pts for what seemed like forever, looks like they're getting it going now.

 

You know if Jeremy's head to head match up was Aaron Brooks every night then yeah, he'd be legit.

Keep some perspective.

 

Asik the beast

 

Nuggets are nothing and leave openings but against the teams he used to be able to put gas to create his own shot or make a play he's in pain. There's ways to hide an injury and but his play alone indicates injury these last 23 - 25 games. I don't know how to explain it to a non-athlete. Back spasms get better but if not fully heal linger as sharp pains in the lower back. Legs, knees, and toes are the same thing. Might be unbearable and put him out by the Play Offs... I notice everything dude.

 

I got this perma-smile thing happening!

 

Morey has his cd burning already so he can showcase him this off season .

Hopefully he ends up with a 20 point . 20 rebound night

 

Harden has been stepping up against those teams lately. The other guys not so much.

I do know we are 2nd in the NBA in scoring and 6th in offensive rating. I feel confident in saying that there are much bigger problems than Harden to worry about. Outside shooting seems to go cold in big games, PG play, PF play, turnovers, etc. Harden is the last guy I worry about when we play an elite team. They gear their defenses to stop him and he still manages to get his. Other guys are practically ignored and shrink under the pressure.

 

this season is it if lin doesn't show up in playoffs, he'll be somewhere else come oct for 2014-15

 

I think the +/- is usually a meaningless stat. But Omer with +19 is earned with his 12 points on good shooting. Combine that with 17 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 freaking steal with no turnovers for the man with the hands of stone. All you can say is great job big guy.

 

Perspective is Jeremy Lin is a role player. He's not a max contract player so you can't ask for hero performances every night.

Also, plenty of posters said Brooks would be starting if he was still with the Rockets. According to your statement Brooks would be lit up by every PG in the league worse than Lin.

Give credit where its due, hater.

 

Asik better than howard?
