ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 1/13/2017

He has been playing slow for quite some time now. The bench plays at a much faster and physical pace which is why they have been giving the Rockets the lead during games. And when Harden is put back in the game, he slows the pace down again and the Rockets lose the lead. Harden and his plays are now becoming predictable to opponents.

 

The bottom line is that Ryno and Gordon have to score when ones off they can still beat the lower seeded teams but not against the better teams ! It seems like Rynos shot is broke

 

Man, tonight, instead of being the Clutcher's, we were looking like the Chucker's.

 

This team hasn't been playing good in a span of games. Just lucky wins or barely getting by but as long as it was a win everybody was happy and it didn't matter. But I saw this coming from way back with the infamous "luck is about to run out fast". I don't think this team is a contender playing this way.

 

Forthe majority of the season they have been playing like contenders. Basically since January starred its been rocky. I hope they can correct the issues

 

If the Rockets can't get another solid big Nene, Harrell, and Anderson have to play fundamentally better in the post. Set a solid screen, box out for rebounds, and defend the pick and roll plus cut to the basket on offense when they can. Including Nene in a package for a guy like Mason Plumlee will improve this until Capela can get back but Plumlee is a brute force that can guard the likes of Marc Gasol without missing a beat.

 

Tony Allen credited coach David Fizdale's blunt halftime speech for the Grizzlies' drastic defensive turnaround against the Rockets. Houston shot 58.3% from the floor in the first half and 26.1% in the second half. Allen on Fizdale: "He told guys, 'We need to stop lying to ourselves. We're not playing hard.'"

Spoiler

Blunt halftime speech = "Play Harder!" ?

Spoiler

 

Rox need another rim protector. Capela and Noel will do wonders.

 

Let's not play the Grizzlies anymore

 

I'm still stuck on why Rox traded Beasley for Ennis for games like tonight

 

Wow, it's been awhile dude. Did you just come back from a ban? It's like a prison sentence aint it?

 

Sucks


Need Capela back.

 

LOL!

 

Lol you might have me confused. I been posting on here each game

 

We let the offensive powerhouse that is Tony Allen get his season high lol.

Not too worried, we were due for an off night, shooting-wise. Just gotta play harder next game, clap clap. Yool C.

 

Rox Kryptonite...Jazz,Grizzlies big bodied teams that can easily control the paint like tonight when 3's are not falling. Every team has a weakness if your team is setup to expose it tho so not like there is a bullet proof NBA team out there Warriors included...heck I'd like to see what Anderson can do at center for 5-10 min a game and spread the floor even more when nothing else seems to be working

 

They keep ****ing around that's all they'll have for the season.

 

Not a good game.

 

This is exactly why I want no part of the Grizzlies in the playoffs.

 

But he is important for the team, and will show up in the playoffs.
