ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 11/22/2014

GREAT effort from the Rockets I hope they can keep it up

 

we are up by 9 against a very good team... and we are lacking alot of size

 

as long as he makes it, Harden can hold the ball as long as he wants

 

We're still leading, so...

 

Hopefully they don't go all lakers game again. Make a bunch of threes and cool down later on

 

His commentating is to bad for him to be drunk.

 

This has a GWS game feel to it. Rockets in control of the game because of great three point shooting. Hopefully we don't cool off. And luckily Dallas isn't GSW, defensively.

 

Like that Pap is @ the 4 and Monty @ the 5. I have a feeling the Lakers can't even run with this team if Rox had that line up last game.

 

so Harden is starting to find his shot now

 

As much as Motiejunas is a big goober out there, I feel like he gets hosed by the referees as much as anyone. Tough calls all the time.

If I were him I'd play tentatively too, knowing the refs are just waiting for me to get within 3 feet of the opposition.

 

cmon rockets...we have to control it

have a 0-0 mentality

 

LOL

Nah. Keep that ball moving.

Dribbling out the 24 second clock, then forcing a shot, not good.
Dribbling out the 24 second clock, passing to someone last second, not good.

Keep that ball moving.

 

Great players make difficult shots.

That shot Dirk makes is not a shot that any ole player can make. That step back three by Harden is a HORRIBLE shot, but he drains it. Him making that shot is the reason teams double him, Him taking on an entire defense and slashing through the lane is the reason teams double him. That's why he's a superstar in this league. If all he did was play within a system and take open shots he'd just be some random SG that's a nice pickup and a nice guy on your team but nothing more.

 

Just be happy were winning

 

Yes we are leading but with Dallas not clicking tonight, it's good to build a solid lead because you best believe that run is coming. One of their guys is bound to get hot and if we can just at least box out Tyson Chandler once, we could've built a better lead!

 

This shooting is not sustainable, I really hope they dont try to depend on it in the second half. Gotta lock them down on D.

 

you gotta be ****ing kidding me... I'm no Mchale fan but Rockets have played well. The offensive execution was at it's best when Harden was on the bench. Now I'm convinced it's Harden that is the one screwing up the offense not Mchale.

Great defensive effort! I love it!! I hope this isn't like the GSW game where they forget everything that got them to this point.

 

As long as we can keep shooting, we shouldn't be too worried about the alley-oops to Chandler. It's either Nelson lay-up or Tyson dunk.

Also, that's why DMo should post up only against the bench units. Repeated TOs. He did a good job on defensive boards though early part of the 2nd quarter.

 

Look at that gay halftime show

 

Need to attack the basket more to keep getting these good 3 point looks.
