ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 1/25/2014

FYI guys they have Goosebumps on Netflix now

 

We might not even make it past the first round. Remember 2011 epic collapse?

 

Yeah, I don't know why but I'm less pissed about this game than I would have thought. Not sure why, maybe I'm at peace with our occasional suckness.

 

dude i've said it b4 many times, u already got seven starting PGs. or they believe they are, by the poise they dribbling the ball, aren't they.

 

Anyone knows anything about basketball knows the Griz is a bad matchup for us. They suffocated us last year, we had 0 chance ( Indiana too). This year I thought we should fair better against them since we got Dwight. Not so much. Even the first two games them without Gasol, the wins weren't easy. Come to playoff time, McHale brand of basketball won't work. The Asik situation needs to be addressed first foremost.

 

epic post. strong work. :grin:

 

Thanks - wait, wuhht???

 

I doubt he is weak mentally considering all of the obstacles he's overcome to get this far but yes I don't think the Rocket's org are doing much to instil any confidence in him.

 

He does have the heart of a champion. Just look at how he play. Play hard and hustles. He just won't back down.

 

Need a new coach

 

your a bad man a very very bad man... i wish you all to the corn field

 

Calvin " pleading rockets to take the midrange shot"

 

Agreed. Except for garbage time, Lin didn't play point all night. On offense, let Lin bring up the ball for Christ sake and run some plays. Having Bev bring it up and then passing it off to someone was pathetic. That's all on the coaching staff.

 

Honestly we don't have much talent outside of harden, Howard, parsons and asik. Everyone else is a gas been couldn't get off the bench player for garbage teams. Caspi couldn't play in Cleveland, Garcia couldn't play in sac, Lin was cut by 3 teams and then had linearity and the Knicks still didn't want him. Dmo and jones are late first round picks in their 2nd seasons. We overrated this teams a lot. We're still good and could get hit and steam roll teams in the playoffs because harden and Howard are that good but chances of them doing that 16 games is unlikely. I'm not saying we need allstar talent but we do need 2-3 Courtney lee type role players. If we had that this team would take off to emit status quick. The core of harden and Howard is envied by about all but 5 teams in the league. We just need to build around them better.

 

Mchale should be embarrassed to lose to the same team twice in back to back nights. Losers do that not championship contenders... Memphis owned our team that alone right there should cause for termination. But like Houston teams do let it get worse and worse or to a point where it's too embarrassing before the firing takes place.

 

On to the Spurs on Tuesday and two days to digest these past two games. Asik is suppose to be back by the end of the month. The team needs to get healthy, this has been brutal year with all the injuries on the team.

 

Good job Calvin. The best shot in the NBA. Hey, But Morey looks at numbers, 3>2.

 

We need to play our bests playmaking PG at the PG position. That's the problem. Having him sit around in the corner doesn't help us at all.

 

Basketball is all about matchups. I GUARANTEE we will be the Spurs!

 

maybe ling plays better next game if bobo finally comes out he may move faster.

this budginger is for you
