ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 4/6/2013

lol no but at least he's athletic enough to keep up?

 

Looking at half time box scores Lin has already stepped up. The rest of the team is tired from last night's game.

 

LOFs smh...

 

The nuggets are indeed a great team but every game we have played with them this season has been close up till the end.

Are people forgetting that we just came off of a back to back in portland last night and are playing in the toughest arena at that altitude? As soon as we regroup I see us clinching this game.

 

we need to take charges. they drive like 90 percent of the time. give them some of their own medicine.

 

I think he is tired of the previous 70 games. It's a long season and Harden is playing 40 minutes a game

 

I see a team that outworks and outhustles other teams to get the win. Effort means something in this league, and they've got tons of it from every single one of their players. Nuggets are just the better team, they know who they are, and they embrace that identity.

 

Harden gets the criticism he deserves, the criticism from knee jerk ignorant fans who need a scapegoat for larger issues, AND criticism from fans of other players with an agenda.

That's a lot of crap for one man. Luckily, he has broad shoulders.

 

What channel is he Rockets game on if I don't have HD?

 

The Nuggets have such a freakish combination of speed, size, and ballhandling as a collective team. We lack the ballhandling when we go for fast breaks resulting in our TO's. Doesn't help that they can jump out of the gym and intercept our passes either.

 

The game seems very helter-skelter, which definitely favors the home team. I don't like our chances.

 

We're still in this. If Harden is gonna play, he needs to attack quickly like he was in the 1st quarter. Even when his shot wasn't falling he was getting into the lane and drawing fouls. He's holding the ball way too long before making his move now and the length of Iggy/Brewer is bothering him. I'd like to see him play off the ball more to conserve his energy. He looks gassed.

Anderson should've gotten some more burn in the second with Harden struggling. He and Garcia although play well together, both offensively and defensively. Rarely do you see missed rotations with them together.

Lin is ballin' keep it up.

T Jones is giving us desperately needed rim protection. I'm glad McHale is giving him more time with Smith struggling.

Despite us being down this is a fun game to watch.

 

Hope harden keeps shooting and get into his rhythm. Hes the best scoring option on this team. Lets go rockets!

 

What channel is this on? Astros are on CSN???

 

Harden is not the issue, the problem is we have no interior scorers so we have to rely on perimeter scoring.

 

I believe most people will be okay with us losing this game before the tip-off. As long as we tried our best, even if we get blown out it's fine with me. Remember this is the 2nd game of the back-2-back, and Rockets aren't very good playing B2Bs.

Anyway, I DO NOT WANT to face Denver in the 1st round even with the injuries. The can run us out of the game easily if our defense just lacks a little bit.

 

Man I'm afraid of what the 2nd half holds. Hope we can make the necessary adjustments. They destroyed us in the 2nd quarter.

 

Close up to the end--resulting in a loss. Super.

 

Because they have no discipline as a team.

Harden is not specifically guarding Iguodala or Chandler...but they are making horrible switches.

One time Chandler was just standing at the line and D-Mo and Garcia it looked like didn't seem to know who would switch on to him...in this moment of confusion no one covered him...and Chandler was wide open for three.

Also not only that but our big man are just giving up dunks...but yeah Harden needs to step up and lock down all 5 positions.

 

Calm down guyss
