ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 1/15/2014

Well I just mean the spirit that says I can take over at any time because no one on the court can check me is what Harden has. The work ethic.. well there's another story entirely.

 

wow really, lin and harden were running pnr with each other? that's sick...those used to be used all the time last year and i thought it was a really good play that often ended in a bucket. nice to see the lin harden tandem going again. i like that the team is starting to develop more chem with each other.

 

The htownsports game stream chat room was hilarious. You guys crack me up

 

Thing I worry about Canaan with is whether or not hes simply big/athletic enough to be effective at this level. Has that Lowry type physique but Lowry seemed a bit taller and is definately much more athletic.

 

it was extremely average. The Pellies were going right at him whenever he was on the court so I can give him a little leeway being a short rookie on his first stint.

 

Man these jokers trying to give a brutha a freaking heart attack. One minute im cussing the tv out lol , next minute im running around the house screaming, " Hell yeah, that's what im talking about.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde a** team

Bwhahaha

 

Parsons played for 45 minutes. Wonder how his knees would be tomorrow?

 

Jones is already the "answer" at the 4 for us. But we still need to acquire a 4. The team is far too thin in the frontcourt. There are just 2 guys who can play NBA basketball in the frontcourt (Jones + Howard), and we need more 'beef' in the paint.

 

lowry is a bulldog on defense and can pass the ball during his early years. He just lacked the 3pter that he has now... canaan is just a scorer in college, can't defend or pass well. and if he can't score in the NBA level which he hasn't, he's not gonna last long. At least brooks can rain 3s on you on any given night, even if he's a sg in a pg's body.

 

If only Asik is willing to play. Asik can help us soooooo much right now. If Asik is willing to accept his role, I bet we can make it to conference finals.

 

well we have asik... but that's another story. DMO needs to get the backup PF spot from casspi, casspi really should be spelling parsons at the 3.

 

Canaan is built too short to really defend anybody. His legs and arms are too small.

 

Well in that case I guess I can agree.

Jordan had a huge ego but the skills to back it up on BOTH ends as well as being so fierce and intensely competitive he literally punched teammates in the face during practice lol

Harden has the ego and offense but is nowhere to be found on defense. I also don't see the same intensity and desire to win. Not saying he should punch out a teammate but I wish he'd show some more fire and leadership.

 

He has great handles, getting low on his dribble...... for 6'9" and 252 lbs, this is great! He out grew his point guard position, which is why he is great at creating for himself, leading the break and driving the lane for a bucket. This guy is awesome! He was having a block party

I hope he can improve his FT shooting, 3 pt shooting and mid range shot.

 

Team still needs help off the bench. I hope Morey can get someone who can contribute right away. As for the Thunder tomorrow I am sure the team will be ready for some pay back. Plus the Thunder are 0-3 on their last three road games.

 

Down by as many as 17! This might be the kind of win we need to finally hit our stride. Hopefully we play way better from the start tomorrow

 

Asik and smith can play the 4 when we need to go big. Smith played it a lot last year and we won games.

 

Just noticed. A season high 6 blocks and another season high of 25 points for TJones And the Rockets needed every point in this one. Good job young man.

 

LOL! Rockets have come back from bigger leads than this only to not bring it the next night. This might just be who the Rockets are until they become completely healthy.
