ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 12/6/2013

I say instead of Lin going in for bev, have Lin go in for Harden, and AB goes in for bev.

Once greg smith comes back, you'll have a lineup of;

AB
Lin
Casspi
Garcia
Greg Smith

Greg runs the pick and roll with Lin.
Casspi slashes to the basket
AB and Garcia spots up

 

Actually they hit the 2-ball very well offensively just not from long range.

People just need to shut up about Harden, he will get it down pat slowly but surely..

 

I live in Northern California so..

We need to get a better performer in the Regular Season than Garcia.
Everything else is good.

 

Looks great on offense but this team will be no defense 1st team.

 

Garcia has been inconsistent this year, but hopefully he will shoot lights out in the playoffs like he did last year

 

Howard did a great job on pick n roll defense.

 

Just got home and happy to see a W

Can't wait to watch it -- looking at box score, Harden seems to have done well.

But too many minutes

I hope everyone is happy YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

Watching Raptors vs Suns... Good lord Rudy G is so garbage

 

Missed the game but seems like it went well. Can anyone comment on Harden's play? I see a lot of talk about defense, was it actually good?

 

I see. I knew he was injured, but the box score on Yahoo says Toney Douglas: DNP - Coaches decision

 

Don't mind keeping him. Brewer should be let go and we sign someone promising.

Defense alone doesn't get it done. We need a balanced player or a younger prospect.

 

Weak sauce triangle offense:grin:....when you only have two of these (Harden, Howard, Parsons, Lin) it's easy for other teams to stack against the two players. With three potential offensive threat you keep the other team honest by creating more one on one defense and/or more open shots. Good win.

 

He guarded Barnes more often then Thompson early. So Harden wasn't put in positions where he is weakest on the defense end. So multiple times he would defend Barnes 1 on 1 rather than off of the catch or after chasing him through screens.

He was also more engaged away from the ball.

 

Stephen Curry keep getting these 8 TO games and no one is talking about him being a TO machine.....:grin:

 

Because his TO's are dominant TO's.

 

Wow we spanked the Warriors even with Parsons shooting terribly. Dwight with the 20 FT attempts and a dominant night along with Harden.

 

anyone have highlights?
