ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 12/2/2015

Ty needs to start

 

I don't know what this forum wants.
When Dwight doesn't demand the ball - Dwight was passive, very bad game (16 rebs 3 blocks). When Dwight plays offense, "stop it Dwight, every possesion is a turnover". Good win, hopefully Lawson can keep this up and TJones plays like this every game.

 

i wouldnt call it great. he gambled like he always has. some of these charging calls couldve been easily blocking fouls...

 

I liked the fire and energy he played with tonight. He wasn't perfect of defense but made that big block and actually tried to recover on possesions.

If harden hits 2 extra 3s which should be expected he's 9/20 shooting 30 points and rockets win by 13. I think we're showing majors progress won 3/4 and defense looked really good after the first quarter.

Once a James gets his shot back and moves the ball quicker in the clock this team will take off as u said.

I'm convinced this team can work and DMO coming back at the perfect time.

 

Hoping DMo can be ready for the next game.

 

He just had his best game off the bench and you want to immediately change his role.

 

Meh =/.

 

Lets not forget that Harden was giving Lawson the ball earlier in the season and he sucked. Just because Lawson looked good today does not mean it was because no one gave him the ball and now that he's getting it he's better, same with Brewer they got the ball, they just sucked. We should actually count how many times Harden does that a game. I think it's all about his rhythm and yes I agree it seems as if he does that way too often. But lets make something clear his teammates have been missing wide open shots and wide open layups. Shooting has been this team's problem not Harden's last minute passing which is something he has always done. When Mchale was here most of our shots seemed contested now they seem a little more open and they are still missing them. Can't blame that on Harden or Bickerstaff.

watching the 2nd half now..Bill is ****ting on the Rockets so much.. lol

 

Oh sh!+ shots fired by Brew on Jeramy Lin. "At first he was looking like Taiwan, but now he looks like Ty Lawson."

 

Hell yes

 

You'll get no argument from me about Gentry. When NO made that hire, I was critical of it. He's been a mediocre head coach his entire career save for one season in Phoenix. And everyone who claimed he deserved this gig because of the job he did in Golden State last season looks like an idiot right about now given what the Warriors are accomplishing without their head coach never mind Gentry.

That being said, even by his usual standards, he's doing a sh-tty job with that team. The Pelicans have had some injuries, but they should not be THIS bad.

 

Plenty of time if we start winning.... Have you seen the west standing? Okc in 3rd seed with 7 losses already, 4th seed is like 10-8, 8th seed is 8-9.

If we can go 5-1 over the next 6 games that would put us at 8-2 over the last 10 games and for sure back in the middle of the pack fighting for seed 3-8 easy.

I agree that Gentry sucks he's always been overrated imo. They never should have fired Monty Williams. I think jvg been out of coaching to long not sure he would have been a good fit in NO l.

 

I'm just saying what it looked like to me. He made a ton of dumb fouls, was WAY off on some easy shots, just didn't seem focused tonight.

Dwight made some dumb fouls, and on one possession instead of fighting for the rebound he just let Asik grab it and shoved him when Asik tried to put it back up and got away with a blatant foul. I didn't think this was one of his better games.

 

Harden 6 assists 0 turnovers

 

agreed.

this was the first game i watched nop play this season. for a period of time tonight i felt like 2 d-league teams were going at each other.

 

Hardens turnovers will come down once Lawson is in a groove with helping the play making

imo december may be the most critical period for us. i am kinda holding my breath...

as to nop,,, i agree the monty firing was an obvious mistake. i thought the gsw story prior to that (firing mark jackson) may have rubbed them in a wrong way.
