ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pistons 12/21/2013

Total opposite of last night.

 

I'm not going to let these lin loonies ruin a great win

 

While Dwight is a fabulous player when you know how to use him, Chandler is the Rockets equivalent to Paul George.

 

Thank god for point guard depth.

You could arguably say that the Brooks signing was the 2nd most important of the off-season right now.

 

I think that's BS. They are about the same and you can repeat that all you want, both are big players for the Rockets. Go back and look at the games Lin came up big for the Rockets when Parsons was struggling. Both guys can bring it and help the team.

 

Agreed. Howard is a proven commodity with huge impact at both ends of the floor. Harden is still just a one way player at the moment.

 

Let's just trade him. Rockets fans don't like him anyways. Clutchfans logic no Harden = win



Guy doesn't even play due to injury and still fools talk ****.

 

Casspi isn't a good defender but it would be tough to win this without him. You can't just dismiss 13-7-6 from a bench player.

 

That's why he is already injured. McHale is going shave years from his career. The ball should allways go inside first that usually opens up everything from there. McHale incessive 3pt style is not a good recipe.

 

Solid win.

A win against the Pacers would be a great one.
Spurs win was the win of the month or 2 months.

 

Great defense by Brooks and Garcia locking down Jennings. 2-11 shooting and missed all of his 3 point attempts! Lockdown defenders! (yes- being sarcastic b/c if Bev had played most of this game everyone would be saying that he locked Jennings down).

 

You're an anti-Lin looney. There haven't been any. It's Dwight's night yet you can't stop going on and on about Lin and trying to diminish him as a player or how important he is to the team.

 

Yeah, I could not figure out what coach McHale was thinking.

TJ did not do too much for several games already. Why didn't he give D-Mo some burn?

 

I love how Harden is blamed for anything that goes wrong with the team.

Maybe Dwight is limiting James Harden? Since compared to last season he played much better than this season.

Harden+Dwight PNR is not a problem, the problem with Dwight during the start of the season was that posting him up usually led to...

1.) A missed shot...
2.) A Turnover
3.) A Charge.

Very rarely it led to points.

I'm not going to discuss this, it is silly. If anything a player as James HELPS Dwight because he's not occupying the same space and is camped out at the 3 point line.

It would be a legit concern if we were talking about Dwight and Asik...but not a guard. That's like saying that somehow Dwight is the reason for James 3 point shooting slipping.

 

Right on, man.

That was a great gutsy performance for the team.

Damn, we're really deep...!

 

True.

 

Blasphemy.

 

The offense now needs to start with Dwight, he will open everything up.Also give credit to the the post entery passers, the team has improved at the angles and to get him the ball in better spots.

 

I agree. When we had Dream, the ball always went inside first. It didn't matter if we had Sleepy Floyd, Kenny Smith, Cassell (who were all scorers), Dream always got the most touches. Even Clyde, who played best when he had the ball in his hands, deferred to Dream and changed his game up some when he got to Houston (though age had something to do with that too).

Bottom line, this is the Dwight we could have every game but he needs the ball to do that. And all of our guards need to have that as priority #1.

 

Dwight's post moves are improving. Still needs to get further down low when he starts his post up, but he's definitely coming along.
