ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 12/3/2014

Black: 10 points, 11 rebounds in 23 minutes.
Dorsey: 7 points, 8 rebounds in 22 minutes.

Against one of the top frontcourts in the league.
Awesome.

 

I. Love. Tarik. Black. He just works so hard.

 

Dmo straight up owned Gasol, reminded me of, but even worse of that Jermaine ONeal nonsense against Dwight last year

 

great game! glad we won =)

 

Gasol may of hurt his knee

 

We had a good game plan. We outran the MEM bigs in the 1st half. We also sent our wing players into the lane because they are not a good shotblocking team.

This roster reminds me of the 22-game winning streak Rockets who were carried solely by TMac but all the other players stepped up their game.

I don't know what happened but we've become tougher and more cohesive and faster even without 3 starters.

 

damn that offseason sucked

 

Team chemistry is exponentially better than last year. Love this team.

 

LOOOL

 

I didn't get a chance to watch the game tonight, was working. But, I'm very proud of the effort and teamwork that went into winning this game. This team continues to surprise me and I'm very proud to be a Houston Rockets fan right now. Thank you fellas.

 

I too didn't get the opportunity to watch the game. I am very happy that we won, and especially pleased that Dorsey and Black/ D-Mo had big games.

I only got to see the box scores. I am surprised why didn't Memphis give more minutes to Marc Gasol and Zach when they were falling behind? I would have expected them to be out there, even with the great performances of our bigs.

 

capella is a joke

 

DMo was just to good today against Marc. Srsly when coming to NBA everyone though DMo speed was his main weapon on offense, but now we see that his fast feet are even better on defense. DMo forced so many turnovers/low % shots this game. Gotta say hes playing like starting caliber player right now.

 

Donatas Motiejunas Last 7games:
13.7 Pts , 7 Reb, 58.9 FG%, 38.5 3PT%.
He still needs to fix his FT's only 50%, and turnovers at 2.1.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I am very glad to hear that. Is it right to assume that Black or Dorsey demoralized Zach and forced him on the bench?

 

He just turned 19, give him 2-3years of development and he will turn into excellent shot blocker/around the rim finisher, type of a player.

 

yup they held there own against him + Harden had some help blocks again him as well.

 

Also on Harden, i mentioned few weeks ago in comment that Harden needs to play more for the team/make his teammates better. And he is actually doing that now. Just impressive play for Harden.

 

Thanks again. Good to hear that.

 

Nah SAS is always saying "Harden, he can ball, but he needs to stop being so damn sensitive about the Finals in 2012. Always so sensitive".

It's about as annoying as Colin Cowherd saying Harden is greedy for taking the Houston money to be the number one option.
