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

ok fair enough, in other news, no venom being spewed on CF!

 

Oh dang it. You gave Maurie an idea.....

 

Tell me something new about half the time not showing up. I rarely watch games because of that. Harden kills the tempo and ballmovement and with his no defense self pisses everybody off I would think. Props to Harden for being a scoring beast. AND to the LOH hysteria, Im not propping up Lin. The hate is ****ing ridiculous here and sad

 

His name is JAMES HARDEN

 

Holy crap, we came back and won in OT?!!

 

The beard makes him look emotionless. Emotionless makes for good clutch.

 

If only had had drawn a foul with that kick out. 4 point play and no overtime needed :grin:

 

nice shot but why were we losing? Does anybody else get pissed or do people have with low standards here and just simply wash it down with the horrible win as usual most fans.

 

Gave it heart AB, can't lie.

But boy oh boy, Harden is nasty.

 

Awesome win after a horribly breakdown. Hats off to Harden, Omer and Lin.

 

Gutsy win. Gutsy and v good win.

Was following via play by play on nba.com and I had to switch tabs a few
times cos was too nervous.

CParsons played > 42 mins(!) and is +22.

Thinking aloud, with OT, there is a total of 53 minutes,
which means he wasnt on the floor for 11 minutes of that.

We won by 5. Which means that in the 11 minutes CParsons wasnt
on the floor, we were down 17.

Influential game.

Well done Asik. And well done team!

Who's next?

 

Beverley being out probably has a lot to do with it. We don't really have any "energy" guys except Beverley.. and we lack intensity when he isn't in the lineup.

 

No such thing in my book. This is the type of game that, yes, they should have won without the drama, but with the drama it can be a real momentum booster/chemistry builder going into the playoffs. Not worried.

 

Harden is as close to a "MJ" as we are going to get. He just wins games.

 

See what you miss when you don't give the team a chance to finish it out?

The Rockets went on a 13-4 run at the end of the 4th, shut down Denver's offense, and tied it up with 7.0s left. Then took them out in OT.

Huge last 6 minutes by Harden, Lin and Asik. Big OT by Harden and Parsons.

Our current starting line up showed all last season that they could come back from deficits when the pressure is on. No lead is safe against the Rockets.

 

The sequence that ended the big league was a bunch of easy missed buckets and no sound D. Then Canaan and Dmo comes in with Asik and Lin out. Brooks goes off... The problem is McHale keeps both of them out too long and Brooks and Faried go off...

 

everyone made some big plays. harden bein harden. lin the steal, da ft's. parsons knockin down shots. even garcia.

 

Which is very relieving. It's crazy that T-Mac & Yao were both better all around players than Harden but they never gave me that "winner" vibe.

We're very fortunate to have player like him, let that "not a superstar" myth be squashed once & for all.

 

That goes both ways.

 

asik was beasting tonight really puts into question if howard deal was really necessary.
