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

They were NEVER better.

This has been going on for years, some of you newer fans may not realize it, but ESPN has always avoided talking about the Rockets.

Ask anyone who was a fan in 94-95, ask them if the Rockets got a nationwide SI Finals winner issue when they won the titles. Ask them if the major sports talk sources did more talking about the Knicks then the Rockets during that period of time.

ESPN is in the business of building up stars, not covering the league fairly.

 

I still vividly remember Bob Costas not even hiding his disdain for the Rockets on national TV. I also remember the likes of Peter Vecsey and Spike Lee calling Houston a hell-hole, and Richard Lewis running out of the stadium with a wig on after the Knicks lost Game 7. Sports Illustrated not giving us our commemorative issue was the ultimate insult though. Completely unforgivable.

 

Just like when Mavs beat Heat for the championship it was all about Lebron choked in the 4th instead of them giving Mavs any credits

 

That was just beautiful. I didn't see the game, but my goodness it was like clockwork for him. He's really something special.

 

Is James Harden the most clutch player with the game on the line?

We were down three and I was unable to watch the game(I was in SA yesterday), so I followed via espn game tracker. I saw we were down three with 10 ticks left and put the phone down out of assumption it was headed to OT. I was also watching the Acm's which kept me busy(Taylor Swift's dancing was LOL worthy). I check the phone again, and it's in OT and Parsons has sealed the game with his second trey.

James Harden might go down as the second best Rocket ever!!!!!!

 

if harden would of show up in the finals .
I think thunder would of won .
if thunder would of won the finals
harden would of never gotten traded .
Thank you harden for not showing up in the finals .

 

just wondering. does anyone know the timetable for dwight's return?

 

Is Kobe in the East???

 

I'd pick a HEALTHY tmac over harden any day. Remember those days guys? If tmac didn't go down following Yao going down, we would've easily gone all the way..

 

Why do you want us to trade him? I doubt we can get anything other than a role player for him and what role player would be more valuable to this team than Asik?

 

I haven't heard anything from him in a while.

 

True, but when he was playing it was like ESPN LA here in Richmond VA. They do tons of Spurs and Mavs (when they're winning). LA Clips get a lot of love also.

 

Zach Lowe had a great time in Houston during the all star weekend in Houston.

IIRC, they only did that after it leaked that they were prepping a Knicks special issue but not a Rockets one.

 

He is okay to return, but I think Rockets are allowing Asik to play big mins before the playoffs. It's a win/win! Asik is happy and have playing time, Dwight is resting before the playoffs.

 

Bullard said it best, if the playoffs were yesterday, Dwight would've played. He's at 75% or 80%, they're just probably resting him until the playoffs mainly because of how well Asik's playing.

 

and the way cannan is balling bev can rest till the playoffs as well

 

Man, I totally missed the end of the game and OT. I was watching "Game of Thrones" on one buffer and the other buffer was buffering "Shameless". That means I couldn't flip over to the Rockets game. I said to myself on my last check of the score down 3 with 10 seconds left..."I bet Harden drains a 3 and sends it to OT.". Sure enough...I miss the made 3 and all of OT. But, great win because it really felt like the Rockets were going to lose that game the way it was going.
