ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 12/31/2018

As I have pointed out multiple times, the current bench was randomly generated in NBA2K. "Gary Clark" never existed until this offseason. All memories and records of his existence prior to this summer were implanted by the Illuminati.

"Brandon Knight" is the re-animated corpse of the real Brandon Knight, who died 2 years ago.

"Vince Edwards" is a hologram. This is why he never plays. When you pass him the ball, he gets exposed as the ball goes right through him.

 

“Curry was hurt” “Thompson is in a slump” “green hasn’t been the same” “curry and Durant are still way better than harden”

 

Memphis has incredibly gifted defenders like Green and few others with length

 

I don’t blame him for losing trust in the bench in this particular game, they were hemorrhaging points

the only one capable of scoring without Harden on the floor was Austin Rivers...Harden set up 4 of GG’s 6 threes, and Knight dropped 1 point...no one else off the bench scored

they weren’t getting stops, and they couldn’t score without Harden on the floor

 

Put some gawd damn respect on Ennis' name! You guys just want to hate him. Ennis, when he comes back is going to make this team stronger. The bench will have another 3 point energy guy.. yule c.

 

I feel like even if that happens the media will be like “The Rockets are always finding diamonds in the rough!! Harden is overrated #number7”

And then they’ll praise Curry for not giving up on his team even with all the “drama”

But we’ll know the truth...

Let's all just make this clear right now:

WHEN HARDEN IS NOT IN THE GAME, EVERYONE IS THE BENCH. EVERYONE NOT HARDEN IS THE BENCH

Stop looking at the "bench" numbers.. Harden is literally the offense when he is out there. Everyone not Harden is the bench.

 

I blame MDA 100% he needs to show more trust because he will have to do it in the playoffs. He better do it now.

 

I agree that he needs to, but I’ll hold it more against him when the team is fully healthy...as it is right now minus CP3 and EG, he can afford to keep Harden off the floor for only so long

I did not trust that group that was out there minus Harden in the 2nd half...Memphis was having their way with them

 

in one way i love what harden is doing but in another way i hate that he's gonna lose the mvp again while doing this and it's gonna piss me off.

 

Great win!!

Happy New Year!!!

Man for real though, even though they may not have played the way we wanted them to tonight, shout out to Danuel and Rivers. Biggest additions for our team. Also, I think its time we let Gary get some burn now. Tucker is still amazing defensively but his shot has gone cold, might as well put Gary out there since he will probably give us the same on offense(jk Gary you awesome).

 

I think house has established himself as the full time starter at SF

 

Memphis really cranked up there ball denial defense and started doubling harden on the ball and sometimes even off the ball forcing anyone but to beat them.It almost worked . That’s why a healthy Chris is paramount to help Harden

dude is doing this with opposing defenses fully focused on him . It’s just crazy
