ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 12/5/2007

I didnt like this win. We started playing better after all those losses partly because we started using our bench more. In the second half Rick went back to his thing about only giving minutes to the starting lineup. Bonzi played and Scola got a few minutes but thats about it.

Memphis without Darko holding the fort inside is not that good of a team. Being able to beat them without going to the bench is not representative of what we will normally have to deal with in the west. If Rick doesnt give our solid bench guys consistent minutes night in and night out that is gonna hurt the team in the long run. This win is fools gold.

 

Honestly, Deckard, I believe what you are doing is called nitpicking. In the long run, who will actually remember such a meaningless "turnover" anyway? The point is that this "turnover" was not given up in a crucial point of the game. Who cares? Apparently you do, but please rest assured that it had no outcome in the game.

 

Player decision. Game was over. Nothing wrong with that. Better than showing up the other team Stackhouse style.

 

Sigh. Yet the Celtics will be praised for beating the 76ers tonight and going to 15-2.

 

nice win.

 

Saw only the fourth, but great to hear that Bonzi and Scola had good games. It is very important for role players to contribute. Bonzi can be a force when he gets his head into the game, and Scola goes all out, I love his hustle. He appears to be a pretty rugged/strong player inside, just what this team needs. I still don't understand why Rafer gets more minutes than anyone other than TMac and Yao. Guess Adelman really likes that 30% shooting. He did get seven assists, but TMac got twelve. Francis must be wondering what is going on. Where was James?

 

Stats are not everything. Winning games is more important. Showing respect is worth the TO. I have seen it done before. It is not worth the time you are putting in to write about it or me to respond... so I will stop.

 

This is like saying a QB shouldn't spike the ball because it is an incompletion or shouldn't take a knee because it is -1 yards rushing.

 

I disagree. This was a solid win helped with tremendous production from our bench. We won going away, with one of our superstars having an off night shooting, and Rafer with his usual line from Downtown, 1-4. To be fair to Rafer, Francis and James didn't do much off the bench, although James had 2 dimes in 5 minutes. Everyone else who came in for the starters, especially Bonzi and Scola, were money. LOL, I guess that was everyone else!

 

Good win. I looks like our offense was functioning well tonight. But the same can be said about our win against the Suns. Don't get too excited yet guys. I wanna see these Rockets do this every game.

 

All the starters had at least one blocked shot. When was the last time that happened?

When Mac has the feeling, we can win; especially others hold their own positions...

 

Where nowhere to go happens

 

can someone post the playoff picture as of right now so that i can see how far behind the rockets are?

 

Dude, you have a computer!!

Go to NBA.com!

 

The question is how far behind are you!

 

they dont have the seeds on their and there might be some teams with the same record so idont know what seed they will be.

 

If the playoffs were to start tonight, we would be number 9, right behind Golden State who holds a 9-8 record. In other words, no playoffs for us if the season were to end today.
