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

Better than getting booed by your own team's crowd.

 

Why is an early season game against decent Mavs team more important that an early season road test against a tough 9-1 team. Both are in our division.

Or are you just appealing to sentimentality because of the offseason?

 

What a waste

I might as well have watched WWE Monday night Raw

 

We sucked.

End of analysis.

 

Scheduled loss, but still disappointed in our effort tonight. We'll see how this team responds. If we stuggle against the Lakers at home, time to be worried.

 

That submariner pass Joey threw to Penny tho

 

Harden needs to work on his ball handling and right hand if he wants to take his offense to the next level, just imagine how good he would be if he had that because without it he is already damn good

 

just a bad game. it happens

stop overreacting

 

For people criticizing the shoot 3's strategy , I guarantee if the game was close then we would have tried some 2's. However , we were down 20+ at the half. The only realistic way to close that kind of gap is to bomb a away and hope you get hot . Basically if we didn't cut it to about 15 by the 6:00 mark of the 3rd and about 10 by the fourth then you aren't winning the game .

 

The reason we were down twenty was cause we were jacking three's nonstop.

 

lmao nice i needed a good laugh

 

Absolutely agree. Teams have scouted him and know the way to neutralize his effectiveness is by forcing him right with heavy ball pressure.

It's up to him to make the adjustment.

 

Just a reminder, for those who are convinced this is "just a loss" and the hot start = contention.

NBA Strength of Schedule

 

What would Jones do against Gasol? Wouldn't really want to see Jones's defense against the Grizzlies tonight.

Could have used Chandler Parsons's performances against the Grizzlies from last season.

 

I really wish we could implement the elbow 2pt shot into our offense. I don't have the stats on it, but it seems like that's the highest percentage 2-pt jump shot outside the paint.

 

Being down 20 at halftime is no reason to rely solely on threes.

This isn't NBA2K.

 

and to the rest of the world it seemed like it was something to do with that record turnover pace in the first quarter

 

Memphis is 25 on that though.

 

I think its a bit early to worry about strength of schedule when we are only 10 games in. I get what you're saying, but its a bit early to know exactly how good or bad teams are. Remember, the Suns were supposed to suck last year and missed the playoffs on the last day of the season.
