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

This is why I say we give him more credit than he deserves.

Don't think a replay is available, but at one point in crunch time, he went up for one of the most half assed attempts for a rebound. Ball was way over his head and he tossed one arm up looking a foul.

 

Yeah, I have LP and for some reason the Por guys were on.

It was bad. I am quite frankly getting tired of Harden getting called a flopper.

I remember two screens where Lillard purposely flipped his legs out to get fouls.

It was just bad defense that he made up for by flopping.

 

Glad we got the win last night.

Gasol is really good!

 

Could you imagine that guy in place of Howard on this team?


Oh wow, what did I say. I love Dwight, but Gasol's ability to hit shots and Harden coming off those picks would make this offense terrific.

 

He's been studying game film of Chris Paul apparently. Next we'll see Lillard's next trick: how to punch people in the balls without the refs looking!

Honestly though, he's becoming a dirty player before our eyes. I wish Silver would take more of a stand than Stern did regarding dirty play. Not just flopping (although I really hate how guards can just run up to centers, fall down, and get fouls whistled on the big man) but also finding ways to cheap shot fools when the refs aren't looking.

 

They need to start publically going after these guys for flopping.

It was a joke on the leniency that is given for that.

These guys don't care about fines. It is a habit for most.

Start putting a flop count up for everyone to see on NBA.com etc.

Public embarrassment works.

 

Any Harden, Brewer of full game highlights with Houston feed. Really wondering what they called, since the Memphis announcers were annoying!

Thanks!

 

You sure man.

You didn't get all happy inside when the Grizzly announcer was saying,

"that makes three blocks for Harden, that's a career amount"

It was salty and gratifying all at the same time.

 

Yea, Canaan and Shved aren't the best facilitators either, but I'd like to see Terry get less minutes anyway 'cause he's old.

I'd rather Canaan play over Shved though.

 

That won't happen unless Terry gets hurt. He is a seasoned willy playoffs veteran. So he will continue to get his minutes.

 

The pick and roll would be a thing of beauty between Harden and Gasol.

 

I just don't want to wear him down, we need him to be fresh and healthy for the postseason.

 

Yeah coaching staff should find a way to insert Canaan and papa in the rotation at 10 minutes each. Harden and ariza's minutes should be around 36 a game

 

agreed

 

Look at this atrocious foul Conley got from Bev. Bev almost killed him

Do you have the gif of Canaan bustin a move on the sideline?

Big Papa has the sads...

 

Looks like Terry's being the instigator. In a good way.

 

On NBA tv right now. 4 mins to go in regulation
