ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 3/27/2013

Lin's scrubby inconsistent ass needs to bring his A game tonight for the win.

 

No DWest--time to feast at the rim boys. Better not eff this one up.

 

its DMO time! I got a feelin', that tonight's gonna bea good night, that tonight is gonna be a good good niiiiiight

 

Er, you do know they have Hibbert and Mahinmi who are both good shotblockers right? I don't think this will be an easy win.

 

McHale probably has D-Mo practicing defense against Francisco "Paul George Emulator" Garcia as we speak so Harden can be hidden on Tyler Hansbrough on defense.

J/K

Fortunately, Paul George hasn't been doing too hot since his two finger injuries, but he will still play some hardnosed defense on somebody in any event (hopefully not Harden).

 

I'll go ahead with my prediction:

Houston Rockets 110, Indiana Pacers 97.

Other Predicted Stats:

FG%: HOU: 46%, IND: 42%
FT%: HOU: 20/26 (77%), IND: 15/21 (71%)
3PT%: HOU: 13/28 (46%), IND: 9/17 (53%)
REB: HOU: 45, IND: 38
AST: HOU: 28, IND: 23
STL: HOU: 9, IND: 6
BLK: HOU: 7, IND: 9
TO: HOU: 14, IND: 17

Individual Stats:

Jeremy Lin: 14 pts, 4 reb, 7 ast, 2 stl, 0 blk, 3 TO
James Harden: 27 pts, 8 reb, 6 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk, 2 TO
Chan.Parsons: 16 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 0 TO
Donatas-MO: 9 pts, 4 reb, 1 ast, 0 stl, 1 blk, 2 TO
Omer Asik: 12 pts, 15 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 4 TO

Bench: 32 pts, 5 reb, 9 ast, 3 stl, 3 blk, 3 TO

 

If you're driving around tonight, the game will be on 740

 

Lets end this homestand with a bang! Win it for Craig Ackerman.

 

West out - Hansbrough beast mode lol.

 

Which pacers are out tonight? I'm thinking about betting the rox?

 

west granger out, hill game time decision

 

Thx!!

 

Doubt it. I see a ceiling as a low level all star, and he isn't there yet (only reason he made the AS game is because the East sucks).

Defense just isn't that important on the perimeter. To be a superstar you need to either be a big man, or be an elite scoring #1 option on offense.

 

As long as the Rockets come out with high intensity, high energy, and crash the boards.. I see them taking this game 104-98..

 

every win counts we got hungry teams behind us!

 

Hahahaha.... someone else just said with David West out Rockets should feast at the rim! Earlier someone wrote Asik is going to eat up the Pacers in the down low.... A non-basketball fan walking by would think were either talking about food or sex.

Only 3 more home games left in my half season package I cannot believe it's almost over

 

+1.

FYI Matt Thomas will be doing the play-by-play for the games while Craig is out.
