ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 12/26/2014

Mike knows his stuff, so does Smitty. They also were spot on with Howard not being engaged so doesn't surprise me they recognize real. Mike was also spot on with his analysis of this game.

 

Great win, team has legitimate contender potential for the first time in decades, rather than just an underdog chance

 

Regarding Josh Smith taking more shots than Harden - it really felt like that was what the defense was giving us (and I'm sure that was by somewhat by design). I counted three bad shots. The three pointer. One near the basket when he was swarmed. And the one mid-range jumper that he actually hit (but I missed most of the first quarter).

 

Missed the game. Glad we won, against a very good team.

 

I love this team. Most recent additions have been great. GO ROX!

 

He's right - like he said, no one else in the league has been as consistent as Harden

 

This team has had legitimate contender potential at several different points over the last two decades in addition to now.

Just because things didn't work out doesn't mean the team didn't have the necessary roster talent.

 

First highlight of night for sportscenter was rockets highlight. Im happy rockets are well on radars of the media

 

Ya... I've never seen a team try to deny a player a chance at even touching the ball as the Grizzles did on Harden. It just shows how much opposing teams fear the beard... Doesn't matter. He still had his 32 10 8 game.

 

So Josh Smith is trending on twitter.

 

Some nice props from NBA TV for Harden.

I can't get over just how clutch Harden is with his passing out the doubles he was getting in OT.

 

Conley is a gamer. Him, Lillard and Ellis probably wont make the all-star team. Kobe/players on non-playoff teams shouldn't even be eligible for the game.

 

Was there in person!!!! Saw maybe 3 other rockets fans total...horribly angry grizz fan sat behind me, it was awesome!!!

 

So can we make a trade for Lawson and make him our 6th man?

 

Kobe shouldn't be in the all-star game even if the Lakers in some alternate universe was in the playoffs. He is absolutely atrocious this season. I've never witnessed a less efficient season from a volume scorer.

 

Thanks for all the great responses for my post earlier.

Its refreshing to have a versatile 4, and I do hope he starts,With DMO and Jones manning the bench unit.

This team is oozing with potential, this could be our year,if the guys get better and better.

 

You do realize if non-playoff teams were ruled out Anthony Davis wouldn't make it?

 

How great does it feel to be a VERY good Western Conference team on their floor when they were playing very good basketball?

The ONLY concern I have is Dwight just disappearing at times. Then again...we won with him playing poorly. Imagine if he comes to play....

 

It was what.

 

When Bullard mentioned to Smith about Championship team, you can see how excited he looked. Said he has that feeling.
