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

21 and 8 plus 3 assists

Great game Josh

 

Over his last 8 games, James Harden is averaging 32.25 PPG, 8.5 APG, 6 RPG, 2 SPG, and 1 BPG. WOW

 

I thought JSmoove,Ariza and Brewer both played really well. And,of course,the BEARD! Was disappointed in DH12 and DMO.

 

48 bench points tonight....48

 

Allen is an incredible PEST! When he fouled out I felt good about our chances.

 

Bet I know more about basketball than you'll ever comprehend. Don't make a blanket statement like if a team is a good 3 point shooting team they'll be great. No ****!

 

Great to see our guys take this one. What a grudge match! It's what we've come to expect out of a Hou-Mem matchup.
What's really good about this one is that we found a way to win with Howard not being an offensive threat.
Credit Memphis with playing tough without Randolph, but our guys seem to find a way to grind it out when needed.

 

2 big threes late from the Jet. I just wish the Rockets could close out games. The Grizz came back using there defense. They pitched a shut out, got out in transition, and crashed the offensive glass. Do they lead the league in steals? I know we have a few of the top steal players in the NBA, but Conley and Allen seem to get a lot.

Harden has so many good games it has become normal to me.

 

I got a ball stream account I barely use I'm in Australia but I don't think that matters. Happy to let a fellow rockets fan use it

 

Im glad the ticky tac fouls got reduced in the second half. Wonder what the game would be like if it was like street ball and you called your own fouls. Imagine that. ok bad idea.

 

I don't think McHale was punishing Dwight. He just stuck with the lineup that got them back in the game and built a 10 point lead in the 4th. The only problem is he stuck with the small unit too long. The Grizzlies were killing us on the offensive boards towards the end of regulation. Just one defensive rebound may have prevented OT. But at least he didn't put the starters back in too late and cost them the win.

 

Sorry to hear about that. I hope it gets better for you.

Rockets are about to go on an incredible run.

 

It would be like games at the rec when people call next. Guys would argue and argue for the foul call then they would settle on a do or die three for possession. :grin:

 

Yes, of course you do. You also know what blanket statements are.

Man, if Memphis were a good 3 point shooting team, they would be hands down the best team in the league. The way they cut and find easy layups with their bigs is unreal, tie that in with an efficient 3 point shooting percentage and they would be damn near impossible to guard.

Very blanket, indeed. I need more base to my quotes, i.e. "If every team was good at three pointers they would all be good"

 

You know when it became too long? When they subbed in the 7-1, 280 pound big man, Marc Gasol.

 

the reason smith had so man shots is because allen kept denying harden the ball, smith had carter on his. any time allen was out harden had his way

 

Go figure with Dwight! He misses his first four FTs, then turns around in OT and makes four clutch FTs. OK, we'll take it!

 

That's not even english broham.

 

Piss. Off.

 

Don't worry about it brew!!!

He thinks Vince Carter is better than Harden.
