ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Cavaliers 3/22/2014

Not that it is really so important, but to the best of my recollection his first 3pt attempt was "in and out". The second, a scoop from 6 ft, was too high on the glass (I thought he was fouled) and the third, a corner 3 pt, hit the glass from the side (it was contested and I thought it was deflected). He had 2 blocks and 2 steels, but only one rebound. You're right that he made an unnecessary TO by travelling, which looked like a miscommunication. I think he did fairly well against the tall Cavs like Zeller, Hawes and Varejao in D. Casspi is only 6'9" and not a "wide body".

 

Young teams frequently lose big leads and give up career nights to scrub players, veteran contending teams rarely do. It happens but not frequently. When the classic Lakers, Pistons, Bulls, Celtics got you down they crushed you like a bug. The Heat typically make big comebacks for wins. There are always exceptions.

 

Which has absolutely nothing to do with my post.

 

Uhmmm. Because the are untested rookies and McHale has shown immense understanding of when to promote young players into the rotation? Parsons made the starting lineup immediately. Jones started exactly when he was ready. D-Mo is playing great from the bench. So why are you complaining? Canaan will get garbage time minutes to get him prepared in case Harden, Lin or Bev goes down with an injury. Covington is not taking any minutes away from Jones, Parsons, Hamilton or D-Mo. And there is a third prospect down there, but the Rockets have a very good or perhaps great team. Roster spots are in short supply. Their time will come. But it is not now.

 

Don't bother with cbl, dude is clueless.

 

Hi all!

I hope it's not insensitive,
but I was very close to our bench yesterday (trying to upload videos right now...),
and these 2 ladies caught my eye:

Any idea who these women are, and what's their relation to any of our players?

Two more pics of the blond girl:

 

LOL creeper alert

 

Can anyone tweet Dawk Ins to post Harden highlights?

 

^ will rep anyone for highlights!

True!

It was like he was trying too hard to prove something...

He made a lot of effort and was very good on D.
He had 2 steals & 3 blocks, including the one on Zeller that was called a foul.
(I overheard Zeller complementing Omri, admitting it was a good clean block)

 

I was lucky to be really close to the bench last night,
so here's some footage of our boys from the sideline:

lmao this

 

I think that girl is Tori Kelly.

 

LOL... for Hamilton?

Ham was just as bad on O, and he was terrible on D as well!

Casspi actually played very good and hard Defense against much bigger guys.
He was all over the place with steals and blocks
(More than were registered on his name. There was this one great block on Tyler Zeller, for instance, that was called a foul, and I personally overheard Zeller complementing Omri, admitting it was a good clean block)
The problem is he kept losing the ball after he won/stole it...
like he was shaking or something.
...and his shot was off

Not a good game for Omri, but not for lack of effort.

Hamilton did not really try that hard...

 

Some more sideline footage -
this time from a timeout:

Nice win and awesome game by Beard. Bench coughed it up, but glad they got more experience and also equals starters getting extra rest. McHale appears to be letting Parsons play to work through his woes. . probably should just rest him more. Rockets broadcast said Chandler has been fatigued.

Rockets great ball movement without Dwight.
Assists numbers are 31, 36, 31 since he went down.

Dwight matters more for the playoffs' more halfcourt style..

 

OK, makes sense.

She was said to be going out with Jeremy Lin.
