ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 11/17/2014

'like cmon guys. we're playing BASKETBALL. we aren't in the mine shafts working our tails off for a crust. this is just BASKETBALL'

*clap clap clap*

 

And I love the Memphis actually had midrange posts.

117 points

64 on the paint
21 from 3
20 from the line

12 total elsewhere

Looks exactly like the motet strategy executed to perfection

 

This makes absolutely no sense.

 

im not sure how morey got his 3 or layup philosphy through to be taken seriously. if at the end there was a "if that doesnt work THEN take the best availble shot" THEN ITS A GOOD STRATEGY! you dont keep shooting threes when yo cant make any. and the friggin grizzlies, one of the worst 3pt shooting teams for years, is shooting it better than you. you dont completley ignore the mid range game. they're playing basketball, not statistic analytics. take a better shot if your threes dont go in

 

Get these guys some home cookin.

 

Welp. There goes my hopes and dreams.

 

*morey

 

...... yeah we won a beating......

 

Its not just a loss. Its 12 straight quarters of unbelievably bad basketball on the offensive end. Its turnovers galore, poor shooting, boneheaded passes, lack of ball movement, little to no ability to create off the dribble, Harden regressing in his shooting %...I could go on and on.

 

I don't really understand this though.

We almost beat GSW without Dwight, we had depth before the Mexico City game. This team needs rest. That's what they need most right now.

I said it after the Mexico City game that it was crazy that they only get one day of rest after that. You'd think the NBA would thank the organization for doing their duty and playing that game and give them a few more days of rest. That was crazy inconsiderate of them to do.

Minny has looked like straight garbage since then too, getting blown out. They weren't losing like this before the Mexico City game either.

 

It really seems like our schedule made our record what it is..if we keep playing like this..we are going to get killed on a nightly basis..dont see us beating portland or dallas..t jones needs to hurry up and come back..

 

no team has lost more games to injuries from its starters, thats certainly something we're used to, haha

 

I like kpap's moves in the post.

 

It has suck for black to get booed by his hometown crowd. Thats actually ****ed up.

 

J.R. Paging J.R.

J.R. Breh - Can you tweet Morey asking him what he thinks of best defensive big in Europe Dorsey now and when he will fire Milk Hair?

 

how? He's just saying its a long season and he'd prefer not to hit the panic button after a couple of bad games, im in line with his thinking

 

McHale so stupid for keeping Dwight in

 

It begins and ends with Harden. Harden is struggling. He's our whole offense. No one else can jumpstart this offense.

Okay, coaches now must earn their pay. If I were them, I'd rest Harden for one game, and give the bench plays to run.

 

no need to worry. we're still shaking off the mexico city jet lag. got to adjust to u.s time zone, brehs.

goodnight,
McMe.

at least what hasn't posted to gloat at his team's suffocating defense.
