ClutchFans Game Thread: Bulls @ Rockets 2/4/2015

And then you will cry when the Mavs and GSW hold emergency drafts and take away key pieces of our team.

 

Crazy considering how much time our players have missed this season and how almost everyone, including the local media, predicted the rockets to struggle to even keep up in the playoff hunt.

 

This Rockets team hasn't even hit its peak yet, haven't put a long winning streak up yet. Best is yet to come, especially if Howard can come back rejuvenated

 

Thats because they really dont watch Rockets games and when they hear Parsons, Lin and Asik leaving they assumed it would hurt but it actually helped. Them leaving meant Harden got the ball more and made better decisions.

 

I honestly feel like we will start hitting our peak right now. Dwight is out for an extended period of time, so we won't have to relegate post touches and slow our tempo down.

Praying that Harden stays healthy.

It's unfair that Steph, Klay, the Hawks have been able to stay so healthy and Harden is limping to the finish line...

 

It was also the 'easy' story to push and publish. Least amount of work which had some kind of tangible backing to fall on.

 

Yup that sounds exactly right. There are 29 teams and these people try to sound like experts on all of them and it just doesn't work like that unless you watch every game of the season. The only thing left to do is look at the stats and say what you think sounds good.

 

They just don't like the Rockets period. The media been really hyping the Warriors up since they got Iggy.

 

Same here, and it felt like poking white-hot needles in my eye.

 

After tonight's games:

Player PPG APG RPG SPG BPG PER TS% WS DWS
Curry 23.0 8.2 4.7 2.2 0.2 27.2 0.623 9.0 2.7
Harden 27.0 6.8 5.6 2.0 0.8 27.2 0.609 10.1 2.8

 

D Mo needs to get those boards, when he gets 10 or more rebounds we are 6-0

 

Good to see Battier tonight. Been a long time.

 

Good win.

If we played hard like this every night we'd have a much better record.

Great rotations defensively from everyone.

Tough game for Jones, not surprisingly he's playing like a guy who hasn't been on a basketball court in months. Hopefully he finds his rhythm soon.

 

I really don't think they like Dwight.

 

Unfortunately, I'm afraid he's too PR conscious to say anything significant.

 

I'd rather have Harden win the NBA finals MVP instead of the regular season MVP.

Not getting the regular season MVP will make him play harder, I think, in the post season.

 

Is this really true? Is there statistical evidence to this?

 

Jimmy Butler ANNIHILATED by James Harden. Completely shut down with blocks and one deathly humiliating ankle breaker. I feel bad for Jimmy he will forever live with shame and embarrassment, might as well retire

 

Dang good win.
