ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/29/2014

Bev did his thing out there, and he scored what 9 pts on 3-8 shooting, That's actually pretty solid. And a couple of the 5 turnovers were kinda bs along with the 5foul calls, but I will admit it, love it when Lin gets angry! Came through in the clutch! MR4Q lol

 

I liked Dmos rebounding when paired up with Howard.

The main reason we won? Dwight hit his free throws. We're really tough to beat when he's making them. Even with all our boneheaded plays

 

Basically Lin can be a 18ppg, 7/8 assists PG if he is played the right way PG. It doesn't mean he can always help us win every game but he should play fine over all. We can check those games in this season he was played as a PG to verify what I said. As always, this is my observation and no one needs to agree. just saying.

 

9 of 11???? Didn't even see that. He looked really comfortable taking them

 

A few weeks ago some posters were questioning me why I was so high on Dmo playing more minutes. So to those guys, if you still can't see Dmo's potential at becoming an above average big man, I'd call you basketball idiots.

Dmo is indeed growing up in our eyes. Still has some things to learn, but he's a keeper. More, you hear that? DMo is a keeper!

 

Losing that big lead in the final couple minutes was very stressful. But actually, it's a good thing for this young team. They need to learn to not let up, to keep their foot on the throat of the opponent until the game is actually over. This experience will help them in the playoffs.

 

yeah. gotta give dwight props for clutch free throws!

 

Everyone did their part tonight in getting the win....and almost giving the game away. I think Lin might've been the only guy who didn't really make any boneheaded moves down the stretch. But they won and that's ultimately all that matters. Thank God too. Imagine stewing over a loss like that for the next 3 days til they play again.

 

Coach Jim Carrey is pisssssssed in his post game interview lol. Hilarious stuff.

Harden needs to just keep the ball moving and stop those horrible step back 3s...the one "play" I hate is where Harden holds/dribbles the ball at the top of the key for like 10-12 secs just to pass it off to someone for a last sec chucking heave

we actually look like we have an offense the last two games

 

Just play them together. Things will work out them together. What they need to do is taking turns to attack, simple as that

 

Some of those flops the refs awarded the Mavs with were so ridiculous.

Lmao, what the hell are you talking about dude? I know you don't care about the Rockets, but at least pretend to enjoy the win and the great game by your favorite player.

Don't tell me he tweeted this after today's game, Rockets were going 5 on 8 out there.

 

Yeah, Dwight was clutch. He had that stupid foul on Dirk near the end(then again, who on the Rockets DIDN'T commit a dumb foul?), but his free throw shooting was terrific. Carlisle actually abandoned that strategy even though the Mavs were cutting into the lead.

 

What about that crazy outfit Westbrook wore to that award show lol. But yeah that harden shirt was pretty funny.

 

Don't know if this was intentional, but he had a pretty sick game tonight.

 

I love that Dwight hit his free throws when they try the Hack-a-Dwight. Great way to step up in the end.

 

THIS! I can't believe this is the first post I came across - Dwight was awesome from the free throw line tonight. Keep it up!!

 

Someone tweet him the Michael Finley standing out of bounds pic and then tell him to f$&k off.

I agree with him that the refs are generally terrible and have done a fabulous job of butchering this league but he's been the beneficiary of it far too often to be as vocal as he is.

 

The rockets reply will be "stop paying them from your pocket" :grin:
