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

Pacers...man.

 

No, but I think he may make a case being better than Hibbert, no joke

 

What's the Rockets record for most rebounds in a game?

 

lol so light up the aaron brooks of the world and then on other nights go toe to toe with Cp3, Russell Westbrook and the rest.

Keep some perspective with expectations.

 

yeah i mean its nice for lin and everyone else is get into rhythm against a mediocre team but the playoffs are what its all about, we're locked into 4th seed pretty much

 

Despite everything he's done, Rox still would have been better to package him for Rondo. Rondo would have learned this system in 15 minutes. He took Allen and Garnett to a championship their first season together.

 

I think he already made a case last season. That's why he was so upset about being a backup.

 

Seriously this board has gone to s*** with the obsessive negativity towards Lin. Does your life suck so bad? Damn..

 

You know what both those teams have in common? Shot blockers. Our offense is predicated on attacking the basket and Ibaka and Jordan are elite rim protectors.

 

I think Asik is Hibbert's height. Both legit 7'2".

 

LOL

Jeremy is looking good against the Denver Nuggets tonight. I'm happy for him and his fans.

 

Oddly, that's what I was thinking as I read the numerous posts thinking Canaan was anywhere near a starting PG.

Canaan can shoot, but he's a rookie. He's on defense, both on the ball and help defense (like most rookies). He lacks size so opposing players easily shoot over him. And he has minimal chemistry with the team having played virtually no minutes with them.

The idea that you can throw a Rookie into the starting line up against Starting quality players that are actually going to defend him borders on insane in my books. Unless you're talking a Big Man (size counts for a lot) you're just not going to get great results 99/100 times.

The guy has loads of potential, but throwing him into the buzz saw is a fast way to destroy a kid's confidence and lose a bunch of games.

 

Asik has already been in for 19:30... what's the longest we have kept him in a game?

Still, he has been awesome.

 

LOL Yeah you should have stayed quiet instead of telling people to keep "perspective" on tonight's game. Just be quiet next time like the rest of the LOH Ok? Thanks.

 

holy omer 17 rebounds jesus

 

Hibbert plays so small.

 

I apologize to you for what seemed like a harsh statement on my behalf.

 

Lin is playing very well right now

 

Jeremy is taking all Nugget's lunch box:grin:

 

Good 2nd Qtr after a very slow start. Happy for Canaan in having a game so far. I know he must be feeling good about himself and his 3pt form is very nice. Could be a weapon that will come in handy in the playoffs.

Good to see Lin with some confidence at the end of the 2nd Qtr. Less hesitation in his last 3 shots. I have to also give props to Chandler for consciously trying to get Lin going with those nice assists.

Asik is beasting. His making a total joke of Mozgov. His catch and layup/dunk is cringe worthy sometimes but he does everything else well.
