ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 12/26/2013

Tjones needs to lighten up lol.

Agreed. Lin seems to play better when he doesn't think and just goes for it.

 

Love that.

 

Wasn't just the highlights, he was also directing the zone defense the Rockets tried out in the third. If not for him, the Rockets would have really let the game slip away in that quarter.

 

Great leadership by Harden. You need to build up young players' confidence, not tear them down.

 

No, it is a habit from Euro ball.

Rose: Can he be another Steve Nash?

Cuban: Yeah, he absolutely can. He’s that good. He’s got that type of talent. But, part of what made Steve Nash great, when Nash went from the Mavericks to the Suns and became MVP, it was a system that he just excelled at. So, Jeremy has got to play in the right environment with the right players and he can be a star.

 

Lin's FGs. Three reverse layups and two 3s.

Nash has how many rings in that system? Yeah, zero.

 

I have to tip my hat to Jeremy Lin.

If he keeps this level of play up, we can hang with anyone.

 

Jeremy should focus on driving to the rim for layup. He got great talent for that, even better than harden imo.

 

I honestly think they could have had one in 2007 when Horry hit that cheap shot on Nash and Amare got suspended. Spurs took the ring that year and I feel that was the pivotal play that allowed them to win games 5 and 6 against the Suns and advance.

 

LIN DO THE GREAT JOB IN END OF GAME

 

I agree 100%.
It's hard for Dmo when he doesn't get any playing time, and when he does it's nice to see the leaders give him credit for his good play.

 

I remember that, and that great Suns team is a good example of how the window of opportunity to win it all somehow gets shuts pretty quickly (i.e. age, injuries).

 

Great team win.

I'm really loving Dwight's leadership and attitude so far. Griz can cry all they like. If you don't want to give away free throws, stop committing the foul.

 

He played ****ty D like he always does. Did you even watch the game at all? In the first half (I stopped paying attenting once I realized he didn't give a **** about defense) he was literally ballwatching until the ball swung behind him for an easy three. Harden would be in the paint scrambling to make up 6 ft distance between him and the shooter. Get the heck out of here with "great D".

 

You'll be surprised that Martin is getting calls again now under Adelman

 

Dmo threw a great pass to Parsons cutting to the basket.

 

we're so lucky to have this DH with us :grin:
